@Drstevenhobbs There are subtle nuances in behavior & speech that patients exhibit that humans would be better able to pick up (some may refer to these observations intuition) that AI may find difficult to interpret. Strict human supervision & input must be in place before humans are treated.
You're correct. It's only easier to transmit, easier to contract, and can cause epidemics with an increase in blindness, deafness, other neurological disorders, pneumonia, and death in 1 to 3 /1000 infections.
@Drstevenhobbs Improvements in travel means there is no such thing as a distance neighbor. Diseases can travel across the world before anyone is aware of the dangers they present. I believe it won't be a nuclear apocalypse that destroys humanity. It will be ignorant, self-entited narcissists.
