It probably is wishful thinking ... the ultimate ZPG ... but I do hope somebody has enough self-interest or smarts to keep an eye on this. Watch the incredibly sad movie “1918” (Horton Foote, writer and director) if you want to know what a serious flu outbreak is like.

My mother had memories of the 1918 pandemic, as she was born in 1912. She started school a year late because all of the schools had to be closed to lessen the chance of spreading the disease. (Maybe there was also a shortage of teachers at that point....)
