Why the bad bet?
==============
In a prior post, we channeled a report titled “The Road Not Traveled” by investigative reporter Christine Dolan.
For details, see: 15 years ago, scientists bet that the next pandemic would NOT be a coronavirus …
In a nutshell, Dolan concludes that circa 2003:
The scientific world bet that the next big pandemic would emanate from a more traditional flu and not a coronavirus like Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) or Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).
Obviously, that bet proved wrong … deadly wrong!

How did the science community collectively miss the mark?
