The whole system is built on a global supply chain that gets things where they are needed just in time. We've created a house of cards. Remove just one - and everything falls apart.

Did you know that the flu virus can survive on the surface of a bank note for up to 17 days? One day there will be a pandemic. It could begin during the rush of Black Friday sales.

By the time patient zero feels the first sore throat, millions of people will already be infected.
