New Global Pandemic by 2028
Emerging infectious diseases remain a major threat due to globalization, wildlife interactions, and climate change. Surveillance systems and vaccines have improved but cannot prevent all outbreaks.
Rapid response and containment may mitigate severity, but a highly transmissible novel virus could still reach pandemic scale.
My prediction: It is possible a new global pandemic occurs before 2028, but public health preparedness may limit the death toll and economic impact compared to early COVID-19 experiences.
