The United States is providing the United States with more deadly pandemics, while experts are sending alarms.
Jennifer Nuzzo, head of the Pandemic Center at Brown University’s School of Public Health, told Masslive.com on Monday that people “should be more pandemics in the future.”
When will it happen? What is the root cause of infection? Is it already there? Are we ready? These are questions that have not been answered yet.
“Is there another pandemic? Yes. When? Which pathogen? How severe will it be? No one can say for sure.” “But due to climate change and economic and other factors, the imminent large demographic changes will change the landscape and bring new risks that can both emerge and reappear known pathogens.”
While scientists may be ready for the next pandemic, Americans are still distributing their response to the competitive pandemic that hit the U.S. in the U.S. five years ago.
According to Nuzzo, the country is now in a “worse condition” than it was before the outbreak That More than one million people died. Even the possibility of another massive pandemic or pandemic is growing.

Researchers at Duke University’s Global Health Institute said in 2021 that the outlook for a disease outbreak is likely to grow three times over the next few decades, with the likelihood of a pandemic similar to Covid at about 2% in any year.
“When a 100-year flood occurs today, one may mistakenly believe that people can withstand waiting another 100 years to experience another such event,” Dr. Gabriel Katul, distinguished University professor of hydrology and micrometeorology and author of the study, said in a statement. “This impression is wrong. Next year can cause another 100 years of flooding.”
“According to the Center for Global Development, the annual likelihood of a pandemic is 2% to 3%, meaning there is 47% to 57% chance of another deadly pandemic over the next 25 years,” said Stuart Cohen, director of health disease at UC Davis.
Cohen said the next fight would need to be a “team movement” that could be flying on the Trump administration’s “America First” agenda.
A month ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tracked diseases across the country and the center was told to stop communicating with the World Health Organization. This has brought people to prepare for future diseases and has attracted attention in the outbreaks of bird flu, measles and tuberculosis. It is not clear how much money and resources the White House will allocate in the future.
Vaccine hesitation may also be a problem, skeptic Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Under his leadership, the CDC said it will look at vaccines and autism, although the study found no link.

Still, investments in healthy institutions that research and lead these efforts will be crucial, scientists say.
“I do think Covid fatigue will hamper our response – 100%. But the key is to invest in preparing to make pandemic management more sustainable – from better ventilation to soap in public school bathrooms, to preparing to learn to identify the most effective interventions.
“The goal here is how do we increase resilience to these events so that when they occur, they do not subvert our lives in profound ways and lead to a historical decline in life expectancy?” Nuzzo asked.
