Abstract
The devastating impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) on human health globally has prompted extensive discussions on how to better prepare for and safeguard against the next pandemic. For example, in public health it refers to prevention of human disease from occurring at all (primary prevention) or prevention of small localized disease outbreaks in people from spreading and developing into an epidemic or pandemic (downstream/secondary prevention). Already, the World Bank Pandemic Fund and forthcoming global Pandemic instrument [[2]] negotiated by the World Health Organization (WHO) [[3]] appear primarily focused on the early detection, and reaction to the appearance of human illnesses, often with explicit focus only on action to be taken once pathogen spillover and spread have occurred. As the world contemplates a global pandemic summit at the UN General Assembly this September, it is clear that pandemic prevention at the source cannot continue as an afterthought - a much larger commitment is overdue and sorely needed to prevent future pandemics.
