It feels like we need some better way to maintain systems in the fairly long term, after most people have forgotten their significance.
This sort of preparation looks useful, but I don't have the greatest hope that it will really help us deal with the next outbreak - I'm sure we had large stockpiles of equipment after the Spanish Flu too. It'll likely be down to 13 million again by the next pandemic.

- wyattpeak 7y agoSure, but my concern is that over the course of decades, inevitably there'll be some group of anti-science knuckleheads who decide to eliminate it. It's no good railing against the specific group, because there'll always be another. The problem which feels like it needs addressing is the fact that it's possible for these groups to interrupt the solution.
