Future Pandemics
What do you think the next pandemic will look like? Do you think we will respond faster because
of this experience with COVID-19? Why or why not?
• What type of pathogen do you think it will be? Select a potential pandemic pathogen that is not
measles or COVID-19. Which do you think is a potential agent for the next pandemic? (Hint: take
a look at CDC Category A agents too)
• How will it be different than COVID-19 or the same?
• What surveillance, prevention, and control measures would be appropriate for your chosen
pathogen?
• What is currently being done in the “real world” about this pathogen?
