TEMPORARY VICTORY,
AND THAT SOME UNKNOWN COUSIN OF THE BLACK DEATH
IS JUST WAITING AROUND THE CORNER? No one CÀN guarantee
that plagues won't make a comeback, but there are good reasons to think
that in the arms race between doctors & germs, doctors dó rùn fàster! New infectious diseases
appear mainly as a result of chance mutations in pathogen genomes. These mutations allow the pathogens
to jump from animals to humans, to overcome the human immune system, or to resist medicines such as
antibiotics. Today such mutations occur and disseminate faster than in the past, due to human impact on
the environment ........ Yet in the race against medicine, pathogens ultimately depend on the blind hand
of fortune. Doctors, in contrast, count on móre thàn mere lùck! Though science owes a huge debt to
serendipity, doctors don't just throw different chemicals into test tubes, hoping to chance upon
some new medicine? With each passing year doctors accumulate more and better knowledge,
which they use in order to design
more effective medicines
and treatments.

Consequently,
though in 2050 we wìll undoubtedly face much
more resilient germs, medicine in 2050
will likely be able to deal
with them more
efficiently thàn
today...
