Text Quotes
We’ve put huge resources into predicting tsunamis, hurricanes, and earthquakes. HIV/AIDS is like an earthquake that’s lasted 30 years and touched every country on the planet. We have such incredible capacity to think about the future, it’s time we used it to predict biological threats. Otherwise we’ll be blindsided again and again  (Nathan Wolfe Quotes) If we can contain and monitor animal viruses at an earlier stage - when they’re first entering human populations, preferably before they’ve had a chance to become human-adapted, certainly before they’ve had a chance to spread - we can head off pandemics altogether.  (Nathan Wolfe Quotes) Because pandemics almost always begin with the transmission of an animal microbe to a human, it’s work that takes me all around the globe - from rain forest hunting camps of central Africa to wild animal markets of east Asia.  (Nathan Wolfe Quotes) The reality is: By the time swine flu got on the radar screen of global public health, it had already spread. It was already in the States, it was in Mexico, it was in New Zealand. By the time it reaches that point, you’ve lost the ability to contain it.  (Nathan Wolfe Quotes) We know there are certain types of viruses that are nasty - influenza, for instance, is an area that is not a blindside. But a lot of viruses have come out of nowhere, like H.I.V., or to a certain extent SARS. Because we know we have the potential to be blindsided, we really have to investigate the unknowns.  (Nathan Wolfe Quotes) If you find diseases before they’ve really emerged, you can control them early on, before you get a major epidemic.  (Nathan Wolfe Quotes) Don’t assume that what we currently think is out there is the full story. Go after the dark matter, in whatever field you choose to explore.  (Nathan Wolfe Quotes) If you find diseases before they’ve really emerged, you can control them early on, before you get a major epidemic  (Nathan Wolfe Quotes) Don’t assume that what we currently think is out there is the full story. Go after the dark matter, in whatever field you choose to explore  (Nathan Wolfe Quotes) About 20 percent of the genetic information in your nose doesn’t match anything that we’ve ever seen before  (Nathan Wolfe Quotes) The features of globalization have huge consequences on pandemics. It just connects us so much more closely... And as a consequence, every one of these viruses that passes from animals to humans has the capacity to infect all of us  (Nathan Wolfe Quotes) The world can now maintain an acute infection in a way that is unprecedented in the history of life on our planet  (Nathan Wolfe Quotes) I work to create systems that can accurately detect pandemics early, determine their likely importance, and, with any luck, crush those that have the potential to devastate us  (Nathan Wolfe Quotes)
