“The whole idea is that if we limit the emergence of epidemics where they are likely to happen, we end up with fewer pandemics after these epidemics spread worldwide”

I realize I’m arguing against a negative but has that actually been accomplished? I don’t argue that they (I assume) probably help with things like Ebola outbreaks but that’s almost certainly never going to become a pandemic.



Prior to 2014, it was thought that ebola outbreaks were naturally self limiting to an extent. Woops.
