We are now truly in World War V, the war against the virus.
A human adversary would be preferable. The virus needs no budget, runs 24/7, is fully decentralized, infinite morale.
We can’t win this with bombs, printing money, sarcastic articles. Only with science and technology.

That means expanded right-to-try AND free treatment.

This cuts across ideological lines.
Remove regulatory barriers to drug approval by expanding right-to-try laws to cover anything virus related.
And remove financial barriers by printing money *not* to prop up stocks in general but for treatments/vaccines.

The virus is that rare phenomenon where my mental model is "default one billion".
That is, in the absence of treatment or vaccine it's going from 100k to 1B+ cases. See calculations by Harvard's Lipsitch & ICL's Ferguson, as well as H1N1 serosurveys.
