There may come a day in this viral pandemic, given the ease with which the virus jumps the species barrier, that we choose to keep neither pets nor livestock in our future.

Total load on the immune system is significant in how able a person is to fight off a virus that is novel to it. As such, both vaccinations (especially for viruses that become dormant in the body) and medications that control dormant disease became a vital part of the effort to keep everyone as healthy as possible in those pandemic days. Along with lower stress, exercise, fresh food and fresh air, we kept immune systems in tip top shape.

We began an online course, globally accessible training, that prepared medics for the specific symptoms of the pandemic virus, that way we had a ready pool of volunteers who'd already had and survived the virus when our healthcare system needed them. Because nothing says "We love our doctors, nurses and paramedics" like showing up in work gear.
