We should be and we can be doing a much better
job to predict and prevent pandemics. But the
really bold idea is that we could reach a
pointand this is a distant point in the
futurewhere we becomcome so good at this that we
really reach a point where we have the "final
plague," and where we are really capable of
catching so many of these things that new
pandemics become an oddity. I think that is
something that we should certainly have as an ideal.
