Ready for the next pandemic? Probably not. And who could blame you? The current one has been so much fun.
A recent study indicated that only 1/4 of Americans even understand that they can catch H5N1. And over 60% say they'd refuse, or aren't sure they'd get, a new H5N1 vaccine once it was available.

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
The novel is in part responsible for the passage of the revolutionary Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug act, and thus the establishment of the modern-day Food and Drug administration in the U.S.

"In America, food manufacturers faced no prohibitions on their use of chemical additives, nor any regulation on divulging ingredients.
By the end of the 19th century, the food supply was rife with chemicals and fakes.
"The USA was unique among industrialized nations about not having food safety regulations.
