How to Predict a Pandemic

Most simulations are played on line. They do not place in a threed virtual world. So we create these private community spaces that might look like you're on twitter, or your on facebook,. But the weird thing is that all the new stories that are on the social network are from ten years in the future. We can predict that better than an expert. And then we can talk about imagining the superspreading events in this fictional pandemic, as we did in two thousand eight which turn to be quite similar to what we saw in reality when a real pandemic hit.
