Cracking The Code
Pandemics of different virii and bacterias is constantly under research and spreading local knowledge of how to contain and combat these is important today, as we face potential exposure to difficult infectious diseases and "old bad ones", thus it is key to device new technology and systems for helping in this situation to quickly detect and use new found protection methods against these.
I've thought that we by now should be able to use devices worked on for years, which can rapidly detect which virus or bacteria combinations are found from assorted rapid testing kits, but that we could think of a way of printing medicine on the spot (see other article), and protective measures today would be to get better sanitation, take better care of one's own hygiene, and also potentially to wear some protection when in possibly dangerous environments.
A relation to bats and their carrying, but also protection against certain infections spike some interest, and the ongoing research for solutions to potential worldwide hazards will most likely lead to much better protection against such spreads in the future. Also as mentioned in another post we could see a future where intelligent anti-virus and anti-malicious-bacterias could be made into medicine on the spot from detection of what mechanism transmit them or cause them to mutate or grow/spread.
Here are some articles I found on devices and methods for rapid detection of infections and illnesses:
A microbial detection array (MDA) for viral and bacterial detection
