Underneath all of the social/political debate, the balance of public health versus economic health, the rights of the individual versus the safety of the collective . . . under all of that, some really amazing science is being done on a scale that humankind has never mustered in all of history.

It is remarkable. And aside from the advances in medical science, it'll be interesting to see how every day life changes as a result of all this. I was eating some M&M's yesterday and thought about how they came about, as alternative for the troops in WWII to each chocolate without it melting all over the place. Would anyone have ever invented them if it wasn't for the war? Think about all the random stuff we take for granted that came from NASA.
We better get some sweet swag out of this crap.
