Alanna Shaikh: Why COVID-19 is hitting us now -- and how to prepare for the next outbreak | TED Talk
Thanks for that Jake. Very interesting.
Good talk. Ta.
TED is an excellent resource, and has some surprisingly funny as well as knowledgeable and inspirational speakers.

I didn’t watch all the way through. I was looking for a date of when the talk was but couldn’t find one. The comments seem to start about 8 days ago. Obviously it has been a big intervening 8 days.
The timing seems a bit early for aftermath talk and discussions about further epidemics. Perhaps it would have been better to set an example and not have a live studio audience for such a talk. Did she even think it would be this bad so quickly?
I am amazed by Trump, his team, and all the journalists still cramming together in what seems a small space for the press conferences too. TV hosts also listening to the chosen expert say for the 100th time about touching the face and what is the host doing… you guessed it.
