    "*'Why wait for it?' How to predict a pandemic"* Sounds so simple...

    They don't say 'how' at all: "It has accurately predicted where the last three outbreaks would emerge, though not their timing". Err, not a prediction then.

    "Pandemics are like terrorist attacks," he says. "We know roughly where they originate and what's responsible for them, but we don't know exactly when the next one will happen. They need to be handled the same way - byidentifying all possible sources and dismantling those before the next pandemic strikes." Yes, waterboard as many bats as possible.
