Humanity has never been better prepared technologically to deal with a pandemic. We are fortunate to live in an age of drive-through diagnostic test stations, advanced computer modeling that can help predict where and how fast the virus will spread, real-time interactive online outbreak-tracking maps, and medical supplies delivered by self-driving cars. An AI epidemiologist sent the first warnings about the novel coronavirus. Information about the virus is able to travel faster than the virus itself, arming individuals with knowledge about how to slow the disease’s spread.
