Infectious disease experts say they respect the WHO’s caution, but they say a pandemic seems almost inevitable. “You can see the pendulum swinging much closer to greater global transmission of this infection,” Bogoch says. “We’ve had previous pandemics, and we know with influenza that when there’s highly efficient community transmission…, as we see with seasonal flu, and that the disease does spread around the world. So it’s much easier to say when a pandemic will occur in an influenza situation,” he said.
