Laurie Garrett o poukama iz gripe iz 1918.

2007. godine, dok se svijet brinuo o epidemiji ptičje gripe, Laurie Garrett, autorica knjige „Nadolazeća pošast“ održala je ovaj značajan govor maloj publici TED sveučilišta. Njezin uvid u prošle pandemije iznenadno je puno važniji nego ikad.

Globalization means that pathogens can leap across continents at breakneck speed, turning local outbreaks into worldwide threats. The H5N1 avian flu killed 55 percent of infected people and has already reached dozens of countries, yet efforts to contain or prepare for such pandemics remain disjointed and inadequate. Attempts to stockpile drugs or vaccines often fail due to rapid viral mutation and limited effectiveness, while confusion reigns over who is truly in charge during an emergency. Real resilience demands coordinated, community-level planning rather than individual hoarding or reactive government measures.
