“Influenza was about to become interesting.
For the virus had not disappeared. It had only gone underground, like a forest fire left burning in the roots. Swarming and mutating, adapting, honing itself. Watching and waiting. Waiting to burst into flame.”
“A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both.”
- James Madison
