Since late 2003, the world has moved closer to a pandemic than at any time since 1968, when the last of the previous centurys three pandemics occurred.While neither the timing nor the severity of the next pandemic can be predicted, evidence that the virus is now endemic in bird populations means that the present level of risk will not be easily diminished.The advance warning has brought an unheard-of opportunity to prepare for a pandemic and develop ways to mitigate its effects.More countries now have pandemic preparedness plans: around one fifth of the worlds countries have some form of a response plan, but these vary greatly in comprehensiveness and stage of completion.Access to antiviral drugs and, more importantly, to vaccines(疫苗) remains a challenging problem because of limited manufacturing capacity as well as costs.The risk that a pandemic virus will emerge depends on opportunities for human exposure and infections. These opportunities will persist as long as the H5NI virus continues to circulate in animals. Control of the disease in animals is the main way to reduce opportunities for human infection and thus reduce opportunities for a pandemic virus to emerge.While neither the timing nor the severity of the next pandemic can be predicted, history shows that these events consistently bring an explosive increase in the number of illnesses and deaths sufficient to temporarily paralyse public services and economic productivity.1、From the first paragraph we know .AThere were three pandemics in the world last century.BAt least three pandemics occurred to the world last century.CWe are not sure how many pandemi
