  In terms of lack of cure, herpes and HPV to start. And there’s an increasing about of antibiotic resistant infections out there. But again my point is more about the future versus the current.

    Herpes is trivial medically, and HPV only has a minor health impact.

      Not true: https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/infectious-agents/hpv-and-cancer https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/i... None of this is relevant to my original point: future pandemics.

        HPV somewhat increases the risk of some cancers. You are still unlikely to get any of these cancers even if you have HPV. You can also get vaccinated against HPV, which reduces the risks still further. It seems pointless to speculate about future pandemics.
