Original Text

One day, another pandemic will sweep the globe. But we can work to make that day less likely to be tomorrow. We can reduce the risk of spillover events, and we can contain spillovers that do happen so they don’t become full-blown pandemics. Imagine how the future might look if we interacted with the animal world more carefully, and if we had well-funded, open-access global disease monitoring programs, AI-powered contact tracing and isolation measures, universal vaccines, next-generation antiviral drugs, and other tech we haven't even thought of.
