We shouldn’t have to wait for something to happen before we react. The dots are there to be connected. When we say we were surprised by Zika, we shouldn’t have been. When we say we were surprised by Ebola, or yellow fever, or chikungunya, or so many others, we shouldn’t have been. And we shouldn’t be surprised if tomorrow’s crisis is caused by Mayaro virus, Nipah, Lassa, Rift Valley fever, or a new coronavirus.
