    There are some great ideas here, particularly this:

    New restrictive patents and any secrecy related to the fight against the virus should be strongly discouraged by imposing new taxation on intellectual property rights.

    In the U.S., at least, intellectual property is the sole grant of Congress, and the actions recommended are within its remit.

    I can't see a real chance that the U.S. will lead on any of these measures, but start letter and phone campaigns with your legislators if possible.
