A member asked:
Can you tell me, are people at a higher risk for pandemics today than 100 years ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: The reason is that air travel can now move people from one end of the world to the other FAST. Although Ebola is an epidemic (not pandemic) - there likely would not have been a case diagnosed in Texas in September if it wasn't for air traffic.
