Resumen
QUAMMEN, David. Why weren't we ready for the coronavirus?. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.44, pp.53-70. Epub 28-Abr-2021. ISSN 0124-5996. https://doi.org/10.18601/01245996.v23n44.03.
This paper by David Quammen, author of the recommended book Spillover. Animal infections and the next human pandemic, makes a brief synthesis of the latest research on epizootic diseases, caused by viruses that jump from other animal species to the human species, and is a sort of addendum to the epilogue of the Spa-nish version, entitled "We were the ones who created the coronavirus epidemic". In this paper Quammen argues that U.S. has fared worse than other countries not because it lacked information or funding but because it failed to learn the lessons of the last outbreaks.
