Common questions at the early stage of an epidemic include:

- What is the likely public health impact of the outbreak?
- Is this being or going to be a public health problem?
- Does the virus have the potential to cause a devastating pandemic?
- What is the likely public health impact of the outbreak in terms of clinical severity?
- What are the most severely affected groups?
- Does the outbreak have the potential to cause a very severe pandemic?
