Emerging Viruses
I was just going through a stack of old WHO files and discovered this image of emergent viruses of the 1990s. I noticed that Influenza A H5N1 was already ‘on the books’ almost ten years ago. It seems strange that in a world that places so much emphasis on ‘immediacy’, the timescales of epidemics still seem to outpace our ability to manage the flow of risk.
