There are many one good reason to study ancient Greek and/or Latin: so you can tell everybody else that you are not properly educated unless you know ancient Greek/Latin.

a programmer could do a great job of diagnosing a cold when that’s all the patient has. so could a donut with “you have a cold” written on it in sprinkles. the point of seeing an actual medical practitioner is that occasionally it’s not the correct diagnosis

You mean there’s no OTA update for fixing Ebola?

a pandemic might make people in the us finally realize how backwards and bad a health care system that disincentives seeing a doctor is

Nah, that's a very good thing during an epidemic. Here, recommendation is explicitly to not see a doctor but to stay home if getting symptoms and only seek help if they get severe. It's the "has to work while sick" that's going to be problematic.

It seems you just don’t understand how the market works. When food becomes scarcer, prices go up so farmers produce more and make more money in the process. Then poors become incentivized to not being poor so they can still afford food. Everybody wins, and khat becomes cheaper by comparison.
