The Radical Child

I did this both as a celebration of Chinese New Year and today being National Teddy Day (though giant pandas technically aren't bears, but...), part of my continuing "Furs across the World" art series.

Have some purple dragon Lunar New Year art, as well.

3. How should we prepare for the next pandemic?

I think far better, regular, communication and coordination among doctors, health researchers, and whatnot, across the world, would go a long way in preventing future epidemics, given that Covid originated in a lab in China and...well, you know the rest of the story. Terrible communication and by extent customer service have been some of my (and my lymphomic mother's) biggest issues with my country's healthcare system. As for preparation, I think the same things we did during Covid, like facemasks (which I still wear in public, since the disease isn't absolutely gone yet in my country, and I still have a ton, chiefly animal-themed, that are really stylish), social distancing, hand sanitizing stations, and whatnot, would largely be sufficient.
