gollark: I don't think anyone is going to take claims that influenza is not contagious very seriously unless you have extremely good evidence and an explanation of how *else* flu pandemics work.
gollark: People are very bad at actually preparing for possible threats.
gollark: Insisting on a solution which absolutely covers all cases and refusing to acknowledge ones that don't is very harmful.
gollark: No solution is perfect. Nobody is claiming it's perfect. But it's better than nothing.
gollark: Then you won't know about them, I guess. In the US and EU and whatever they're pretty common, though.
