A little-known company, one that ran into controversy for Hurricane Katrina contracts, has made more money from the CDC’s COVID-19 disaster response than any other.

Wagner has been all over COVID-19 containment since the virus arrived in America. Just two weeks before the San Diego center went up, right at the end of January, Wagner says he was contacted by the government asking Rapid Deployment to provide some pricing together for the first quarantine site in the U.S. at March Air Reserve Base in Riverside, California. Nearly 200 Americans who had been evacuated from Wuhan, China, had been kept there for 14 days until their release on February 11.

Bruce Wagner, who co-owns Rapid Development, has signed off millions in government contracts to help manage coronavirus quarantine centers.Wagner puts much of his success down to a conversation with his Lord. “God told me one day to build some technologies that have never been built and put them in a hurricane [relief trade] show… I didn't know there was a hurricane show. I had to look it up. I built these things… and I sold for an amount of money.
