Prof. Peter Piot lecture was pin point and despite concern and warning from many experts like him we are not prepared for Covid-19. We are so lacking in terms of equipment and health care facilities. Lecture is spot on. Very informative. Thanks
Maybe someone will finally start to take notice and do something because here we are and covid19 is doing exactly what he and others have warned about.
@ c. 14:00 : One of the very first things to do must be to open-source all research. Loads of labs tinkering away in secrecy is only going to make things worse.
We might be able to be ready for pandemic if it involves a pathogen that is just a mutation of something we've already seen, but we are completely unprepared to respond efficiently to the arrival of a truly novel pathogen. There doesn't seem to be anything in current medical training that would specifically equip physicians to recognize and effectively respond to a novel pathogen. We would waste a lot of critical time looking in the wrong places.
This comment isn't 100% true, at least not for China which notified the WHO of a new pneumonia sickness on Dec 31, 2019, just 2 weeks after the index patient spread the infection to others.

Trump is lying? Perhaps you should back up and speak with China. They not only didn't tell the world about the outbreak when they knew about it, the ACTIVELY tried to keep it hidden.

No, the current situation is not what is being asked about. SARS-CoV-2 is not that lethal. Millions might die from it, but this question is about billions.
Oh, okay. So the people who are blaming China etc...(Great/ Big/ Best Pres'). It's ALL down to the SHAREHOLDERS. Shareholders who like watching the people of the world suffer due to them (unlikel)y losing the price of a stamp, from their portfolios.

This video aged very well
Gotta have respect for Peter Piot. Most level-headed guy I've heard in a long time.
Am here in Feb 2020, with COVID-19 spreading to Tenerife, Italy eat al... It’s getting very real.
@Trius Ha, you think it was bad 3 months ago? Welcome to mid July
Clever people being ignored until it's too late...
Makes you wonder about global climate change doesn't it.
The questions proffered were very good.

peoplezk1 patient zero yet to be confirmed. Could be as early as October/November
I believe the first time I heard of this novel Corona virus was in early December which means it was already circulating in November
12:30 Point of care diagnostics. That's exactly what is missing.
March 22 2020. This is insanely on point. Covid-19
seriously , we all have excuses to blame each other but when it comes to saving ourselves we are not prepared. how low we are.

@Wesson Smith Jr. "Trump is lying?"
I know. Kinda hard to believe.
3:42 Wow...
Not really. This is how SARS started in 2002. China could have shut down the wet markets back then but didn't.
Everyone touching their faces here non stop.
Ide like to hear his thoughts today. Let's discuss the coronavirus and the global threat.
Bit late for that.
can we say if CEPI activities over the two years of their existence helped us with the current COVID19 crisis?
Two out of three. Not bad.
9:12 sounds like David Attenborough aha
Oh...... I've got this....... NO! We're not ready.

@@mrloop1530 True. Not sure it really matters. We were amazingly unprepared.
@@mrloop1530 Nothing is sure yet. At the moment we are still looking at 2 waves of this thing, and who knows how lethal the virus will be next year.

Bill Gate 2015 TED Talk and his current TED Talks are very good.
To answer the first person's question... very good chances. About 18 months down the line, actually.
Narrator: They were not.
No
Why do we still have no antiviral medicines for the mayor 6 virus families that could do us harm?....
He predicted future at 3:32
What about better health practices of individuals washing your hands safe sex etc. that would help in a pandemic
Lesson: Listen to boffins.
wow, that first question. Only took 2 years... that respiratory virus w a huge outbreak
I am from the future. The answer is no.
Did the U.S. spend so much money on virus research and anti-virus exercises to make movies , provide materials for news and pay people?
Oh, okay. So the people who are blaming China etc...(Great/ Big/ Best Pres'). It's ALL down to the SHAREHOLDERS. Shareholders who like watching the people of the world suffer due to them (unlikel)y losing the price of a stamp, from their portfolios.
"and what to do when a completely new virus pops up...?" - it would be funny, but given the situation....
Well clearly not 🤦♂️

Doubt this came from a wet market
Answer: NO
hi I speak from the future and just to answer the question and that is everything is going just A ok. IF you are the 80% lucky ones tha tis.
Spoiler: no.
DONT EAT BATS
More effective: don't vote for rightwing governments who will not protect you from pandemics.
There was no bats in the Wuhan wet market
Bats
When the Chinese resort to eating bats the whole game changes.
