There's always the buy stock in medical mask and antiviral drug companies option; either than or channel Naomi Clein (?) on disaster capitalism.

I am glad to hear WHO is trying to get antivirals to poor countries, to the point of leaning on patent holders...

Me: I imagine it COULD be made cheaper to do conclusive tests quickly--or to also test for antibodies. I am thinking something really virulent would generate a lot of sick people. Something less virulent might still be easily transmissible and produce a great percentage of people with antibodies but no or very limited illness.
