On #EpidemicPreparednessDay, I’d like to share a little about what we do to help prepare for epidemics.

Scientists, medical professionals and public health authorities don’t have crystal balls and they don’t have magic bullets. It takes years of foresight (through research, epidemiology, expert modelling), along with ingenuity and perseverance to develop expertise and tools to prepare for an epidemic.
