> for the even worse pandemics that are sure to follow

This is the first world pandemic in a hundred year, why should it become common ?




I think Climate change, population growth, travel, antimicrobial resistance are all good candidates in increasing the risk of this happening more often.


Everything else, yes, but climate change? I can't imagine how climate change can significantly affect probability of next pandemic.


Displaced people? Displaced animal populations?


Also, warmer temperatures will benefit a lot of diseases in a lot of places.
