Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current global health landscape is marked by several concurrent infectious disease threats, including a rapidly expanding Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, significant flu outbreaks in the US, and the spread of avian flu across continents. These are exacerbated by gaps in vaccine coverage and public health misinformation, particularly regarding COVID-19 and flu vaccines, which undermine efforts to control these diseases. Additionally, the resurgence of diseases like MERS and hantavirus, alongside the burden of long COVID, further complicates the public health response. The combination of these factors suggests a high level of risk for infectious disease spread and public health impact.
