Also being able to rapidly flex what supply chain a factory is focused on could help... Look at how much stuff is getting wasted, like milk, but due to processing limits cannot be fully used. If you have it, then stay home until it has passed, don't go out spreading it. Likewise, try to reduce your risk of getting it in the first place. Humanity has survived worse pandemics in the past, and we are still here. No one wants to die or have relatives die but it will happen. I just hope this is a wakeup call that we need to focus on staying healthy, and avoiding excessive risks with disease. I think health organizations (CDC, ect.) need to start proactively hunting down viruses that have a high potential to jump from animals to humans and find what vulnerabilities they have. Humans are very innovative, we have used this to our advantage and need to continue to due so. Yes, it isn't the most cost effective to keep something ready to go at moments notice but maybe we have to do that going forward.
