It's too bad Crypto isn't blockchain-based. It would have scaled up much more slowly to fewer people.


Wait until every infection's DNA is sequenced and a "blockchain" of sorts can be maintained, documenting how every single disease morphed, genetically, over time.

Of course this would only work with highly-adaptive (i.e. costant change DNA) infections. And only when sequencing/tracking is less expensive.
