There will be no adaptation, there will be forgetfulness!

This is very possible, humans I think are naturally inclined to block out possible bad outcomes, this stops us from constantly pondering the ways we can die and living in constant fear. However more people can become interested in prevailing health conditions, I read an article recently about the spread of infectious diseases between humans and animals being on the rise, it would be interesting to see how majority approach the situation.

Eh? Of course it's airborne. How else do these church choirs who all die a few weeks after getting together catch it?

AFAIK, there's no evidence to support the claim that the disease is airborne, if someone coughs or sneezes, the virus can travel a few feet before dropping to the ground, it can not travel much farther than this. However, there's very little we know about the virus as yet.

I doubt it would that much. I mean, yea DIY skills are really nice and all but nothing beats professional work.

On an individual level, it may not have much of an impact. How nations would react may be different, I wouldn't trust myself to do my plumbing work, but a country can invest more in agriculture and grow their own vegetables rather than importing them, and this could impact economies and international trades
