The University of Georgia Center for the Ecology of Infectious Diseases was awarded a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation to build a predictive disease intelligence system that in-real-time could detect pathogen spreads like COVID-19 and avian influenza virus H5N1, better known as Bird Flu.  The stated goal of the project is to design a system that would understand in real time where and when a disease jumps from wildlife or livestock to humans.

This research is directed by Professor John Drake of the Odum School School of Ecology. Drake is also noted as the director of UGA’s Center of the Ecology of Infectious Diseases.  Professor Drake’s research projects include zoonotic diseases and evolutionary dynamics of avian influenza virus.

“I am inspired by the success of atmospheric models for weather prediction, which have become increasingly sophisticated over the past seventy years.  We need the same for infectious diseases,” stated Professor Drake.

So will this disease intelligence system essentially be the Weather Channel for infectious diseases? Would it adopt a business model of 24-hour threat amplification? 

As they say, fear sells.

Will Americans buy it this time?
