I have 36 days left in China. I had my third shot of Sinovac in December 2021 and Covid in December 2022 (along with 80% or more of people in China). They won't give you a booster if you have had Covid in the last 6 months nor can you sign up to get an mRNA vaccine in Hong Kong until 6 months have passed. A friend visited me last weekend on her way to the USA from a business trip to India. She gave me a box of Paxlovid. I'm hoping I make it to Canada and can get a proper vaccine without catching Covid again first but it's reassuring to have the Paxlovid if I don't.
A thought, just a thought... if you can't beat 'em, join 'em? Maybe find ways to use AI to game out the next pandemic? (Now who's sexy? You sexy thing you.)

Ooof I’m sorry (and maybe not surprised?) :/

There are a lot of use cases for AI, for sure. Epidemiology is ripe for it.
However, I am not convinced any of them outweigh the multiplier effect that AI can have on violence. This report on AI and its use by terrorist actors gets into some of it: https://unicri.it/News/Algorithms-Terrorism-Malicious-Use-Artificial-Intelligence-Terrorist-Purposes
