Mega-diagnostic platforms, a global alert system, infectious disease first responders, and germ game simulations could better address pandemics

"First, we need to spot disease outbreaks as soon as they happen, wherever they happen. That will require a global alert system, which we don’t have at large scale today...If your sample turns out to be some super infectious—or entirely new—pathogen, a group of infectious disease first responders springs into action...To learn how to best use these first responders, the world needs to regularly run germ games—simulations that let us practice, analyze, and improve how we respond to disease outbreaks."
