Fantastic book, I feel much more knowledgeable about the possibilities of pandemics.

Things that I learned were that:
mosquito-borne viruses are a real threat anywhere the Aedes aegypti mosquito breeds so that includes Japan.
MERS is still a huge threat and was identified as the Coronavirus what would probably cause a pandemic and would definitely jump to humans again.
* The WHO and pharmaceutical companies, governments as unprepared as we have found them to be. There is no money in making vaccines, governments need to take up the mantel and organize it through international cooperation but the WHO is not up to this.

It seems the only person who was up to speed on this was Bill Gates.
