Snippet: I encourage policy makers to consider trainee impact and potential damage due to lost researchers in the influenza, MERS, and SARS virus fields. The potential effect of lost future investigators should be factored into current risk-benefit analyses undertaken during the pause.

Document: I encourage policy makers to consider trainee impact and potential damage due to lost researchers in the influenza, MERS, and SARS virus fields. The potential effect of lost future investigators should be factored into current risk-benefit analyses undertaken during the pause. It would be worthwhile for those with expertise in surveys and forecasting to examine this topic with wellaccepted and -established methods to generate data on the potential future impact to the field of virology, particularly for respiratory viruses. For example, factoring in retirement rates and potential loss of future investigators, what will the influenza/ MERS/SARS virus fields look like in 2030, 2040, or 2050? Additionally, trainees are stakeholders in this debate and should have representation in the discussions.
