My first thought was that people would overuse
it and poorly use it, helping the flu to become resistant.
Second was that I still might want to have some, if I
could get it.  Third was wondering how long it would keep
at room temperature.  Fourth was speculating on the size
of the black market and how much counterfeit/ineffective
product would be out there.  Fifth was musing on how many
kinds of snake oil the charlatans would come up with once
people got desperate.  Then I had other things to do.
