The World Health Organization will declare a 'public health emergency of international concern' in cases where risk of international spread of disease is particularly high. The last four emergencies were caused by the Zika virus (2016), Kivu Ebola (2020), COVID-19 (2020), and Monkeypox (2022). What will cause the next one?

I closed this (rather than just trading on it) because I'm pretty sure the answer is Mpox, but I think it's boring for the resolver to just take all the alpha (especially if a mod)

It could be Ebola soon: https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/09/1127461

@Duncan In much the same way as WHO not declaring that gain of function research is a public health emergency.

I'm still deciding whether AI should be listed separate from those two. I suppose AI is not a proximate cause in the same way 'bots are.

@MartinRandall I think that I will consider nanobots and robots to be different for the purposes of this market.
