The Next Pandemic
is COVID-19 really a Grey Rhino ?
In November last year, the guys at Vox released an episode of their series “Explained” titled — ‘The Next Pandemic’.
There’s a line in the episode that goes something like this — “There are only 3 things that are inevitable in this world: death, taxes and flu pandemics”.
There they argued that why we are almost on the verge of a viral outbreak. They looked at the 2003 SARS outbreak which started from the wet markets of China and how the next such pandemic could also start from there.
The episode feels eerily accurate when we watch it today in the times of Corona, as now we know for sure that it started in the wet markets of Wuhan, Hubei in China.
Checkout the show on Netflix.
