Hello Kailash, I am always game for chaos, crisis, and volatility. However, in the case of Panda diseases, the germs and DNA strands are too democratic and egalitarian for my taste, or, in other words, too indiscriminate.

<<You take your pick>>, assuming we get to choose, then I … oh, it’s too tough a choice, since either way it worked out eventually, but not for the generation that is hit.

I like thought experiments and contingency plans, since thinking is best done when there is the luxury of time, and besides, contingency arrangements also take time and care to prepare for.

In the case of a round of air-borne Ebola on the fly, I think I would take my family, portable precious non-paper stuff, quickly buy a shrimp trawler, and head for my friend’s very remote pearl farm in the Philippines near El Nido (1.5 hours from HK, then another 1.5 hours of flight in small plane, then 2 hours of jeep ride, and then 2 hours of small banca boat ride) Message 15255942 , add to his hired local gunmen, add to the arsenal of his Swedish aluminum landing craft (ordinarily used for pearl farming work) and also buy or otherwise take over this place elnidoresorts.com , make it available to other family and friends.

Chugs, Jay
