Abstract
Santayana tells us that those who cannot remember history are condemned to repeat it. Disraeli defined the practical man as one who can be counted on to repeat the errors of his ancestors. But for this moment in time there is no history or precedent, and we have no handbooks, charts, or maps; nor have we any pharmacopoeia, or vaccine for the world epidemic of which we see the initial symptoms.
