Infectious disease threats, like the 2002 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) disease, 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1), and the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), pose multisectoral risk with the potential for wide-ranging socioeconomic disruption. In our globally intertwined economy, the impact of such events can elicit economic shock waves that reach far beyond the country of origin. Review of the 2018 Fortune 500 company 10-K filings shows the majority did not document perceived risks associated with epidemics, outbreaks, or pandemics. Enhanced engagement and investment of the public and private sectors in advancing global health security is needed to effectively prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease events and ensure U.S. economic security.
传染病威胁,如 2002 年严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒(SARS-CoV)疾病、2009 年大流行性流感 A(H1N1)和当前的 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19),具有多部门风险,有可能造成广泛的社会经济破坏。在我们全球化的经济中,此类事件的影响可能引发经济冲击波,其影响范围远远超出起源国。对 2018 年《财富》500 强公司的 10-K 申报文件的审查表明,大多数公司没有记录与流行病、疫情或大流行相关的感知风险。需要加强公共和私营部门的参与和投资,以促进全球卫生安全,有效预防、检测和应对传染病事件,确保美国的经济安全。
