I guess everybody is trapped in the same vacuum or lost in the Amazon- but even some of the most remote tribes have laptops so they can upload their carbon data so they can get their carbon credits now -including in my winter home here in Papua - at least its more peaceful this way

Knowing humans and antibacterial resistance etc I'm sure there are plenty of plagues to come so there will always be a need for quick identification-

i would think it would be a matter of national security -ca 1/3 of the Roman Empire died from the Antonine plague ca 163?A.D.
