Ah, of course. We create a new type of [patentable] ubiquitous technology and sell our way out of this. Leave it to the entrepreneurial mind... Sorry for being cynical -- I just feel suspicious of this particular tired mindset to addressing complex public health and social issues, ones that intersect with (and aggravate) many other pre-existing social dilemmas. There are a thousand other ways to look at this that don't involve a small cornered market, I just doubt the entrepreneurial mind knows how to parse for it on its own. When you have a hammer... Wake me up when someone's talking about this sort of thing amongst members of a consortium building open patents, not from some guy with plain-as-day zero-to-one ambitions. I'll root for someone who sees the interlocking opportunities, not someone who speaks about personal aspirations to "wipe out COVID-19" in 2020
