We live in a sea of pathogens and other living things. We have evolved
to live in our surroundings. If we lack the common tools or some new
item emerges, we adapt or we disappear.

At the present rate we will not keep up. World isolation of groups
no longer exists.

The only answer is research and education. We need a core of
very qualified people. I do know I am not part of the solution.
Few others are.

the only answer it to put our resources into the scientific
community and to educate the best talent. That must be paid for
and should paid by all.

Putting potential scientists to factory production lines is not the
way. As a professor said in the 1940's, Few scientists come from
the sports industry.

Select and select and select , then fund a system that encourages
scientific education with proper stipends. and no direct costs.

Otherwise the bugs will win.

LOL! Nor should they. It is true that on occasion there's still the
scholar/athlete, but very rarely anymore. And, yeah, that applies to scholar
in any/all fields.

That's a funny line, though!
