2. It will be handled badly just like the pandemics in the 50's and 60's
Until there is really a virus that transmits human-to-human there is nothing to direct a vaccine against. When it does emerge, there may not be time to produce a vaccine.

Anti-virals will be too costly for most people in the world.

In the end, most of us will rely on good hygiene and the luck of not being caught in an epidemic focus.
