I agree that Covid doesn't come close to being as deadly as smallpox ...YET. Also, I don't suggest 'forcing' people to be vaccinated, but, refusing to let them in stores, movie theaters, schools, or public transportation w/o a vaccination is justifiable to avoid more death and civil and economic disruption.
Anyway, we need to have protocols in place as this is not going to be the last pandemic because climate change is going to bring disease vectors/hosts further north. May I suggest The Lost City of the Monkey God. The last 1/2 of the book addresses this. The first half discusses what happens when disease burns through a society.
I'm reading "Lost City of the Monkey God" by Douglas Preston right now. It's been a highly entertaining first-hand account of (what I think was) the first use of LIDAR for archaeology in the jungles of Central America, and the ground exploration that followed. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's interested in this story.
