Everyone should plan ahead and stock up for disasters because sooner or later the odds will catch up with us. Those who do not prepare should not expect the prudent to bail them out. How long will you be able to feed your family if and when a new plague arises? My preference is beans & rice; calories are all you need and they are cheap.

As usual, the pandemic relies on the virus developing the ability to spread between humans; this is where the research should focus to understand exactly how this could happen and stop that part of the process.

this is where the research should focus I think they should focus on immoral cloning research so if we die we'll have a replacement us ready to go.
Worked out pretty well for Duncan Idaho.
