From Harry Butterworth, Landkey, Devon, UK
The long-term lesson of our current predicament is that pandemics do happen, and when they do, many people can be hurt (2 May, p 7).
I don’t expect to see another pandemic – I am 80 – but there is a real chance that my grandchildren will. There is a lot of scientific data building rapidly, and we need a globally agreed plan to deal with the next crisis based on this. As soon as this pandemic is fully under control, we should be looking at the lessons we can learn so a strategy can be agreed on.
