These strategies will also open up the possibility of other situations because no one expected us to go into a few month long pandemic that is still going on. Having strategies to combat pandemics but even war which is something the US dipped their feet into are possible situations that the government and the people need to be prepared for. One situation that is a little bit over the top but reminds me of these strategies are the nuclear bomb drills that students in the US conducted in the wake of a bombing on US soil during the Cold War. Hiding under desks will not help fight the pandemic but it is the idea of being prepared.

It is surprising that it took this long to understand that open access is necessary to benefit the people whether it be from a pandemic, or another important topic, global warming.
