The panel summary predicts declared that “The frequency of pandemics is increasing, driven by surging populations, environmental change and globalized trade and travel. Disease outbreaks illustrate that we are ill-prepared to mitigate the impact of a novel virus or prevent its emergence. Only a small proportion of viral threats have been identified. Over the coming century we will witness spillover from a pool of more than 1,000,000 “unknown” viruses into human populations. A global initiative to identify and characterize every significant viral threat circulating in the world is achievable over the next ten years – a critical and essential step towards ending the pandemic era.”

According to the ''[[Associated Press]]'', patients who took part in clinical trials at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) had no idea that scientists at the institutes received $8.9 million in royalty payments and might benefit financially for the use of their discoveries by pharmaceutical companies and device maker.  The information was not made public until the press agency obtained the information after filing a request under the [[Freedom of Information Act]].  The ''AP''reported that 916 present and former NIH researchers received annual royalty payments averaging $9700 but could receive as much as $150 000.  At the same time, NIH researchers spent millions of taxpayers' dollars studying the treatments that they had developed that were licensed to drug companies.  Patients said they might not have participated and undergone risks of trial treatment if they knew of scientists' had a financial interes.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC545012/</ref>
