    How can someone predict a rapidly mutating virus will appear in new forms?

    Is that a serious question? The common cold? SARS? MERS?

    That’s like asking how I can predict a new Star Wars show or movie will come out in the future.

    Might not. But probably will.

      Lets start again, the OP said that they (Scientists) saw a pandemic coming, and then says how the chance of another pandemic is very low, so I was asking how it can be said whether a new pandemic is coming or not, is there some sort of timeframe they follow?

      (I am not presenting this as an argument, it’s a genuine question, I feel like I need to make this clear)
