Yeah, I know better than to think becoming a virologist is *actually* a good idea. I pay that impulse only a little more attention than I do the urge to jump off cliffs. (A little more in that I do endorse the desire at its *core*, just not the method of achieving it.)
If I end up with a full career pivot at some point ("job got automated out from under me" would not be surprising), I think the most plausible one is working at a library or archive.
(Although, "financial advisor" would be less of a pivot and might be robot-proof in much the same way my brother's career (cooking) is: I suspect many people specifically value having that done by a person.)

Turns out having an *active* pandemic is not just sprouting new pandemic charities, but revealing pre-existing ones. Apparently the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (funds vaccine development) *mostly* does not take donations from random non-rich individuals, but *does* have fundraisers occasionally. I have subscribed to their newsletter and will be keeping an eye on them.
