What are we going to do about the COVID-2X and COVID-3X World wide Pandemics?

The big question is how society is going to change as multiple waves of COVID-19 and new viruses appear over the next 20 years.


Business models supporting sharing of physical objects appear to be in jeopardy (example "ride sharing" transportation).

  • Hello Malcolm:


    The lobby in the local banks are not open for "walk in" service, you have to use the outside "drive through". One has to make an appointment to use the safety deposit boxes inside the bank.

     

    We typically get 25 mpg around town and 30 mpg on longer trips. Don't forget that is in "US gallons" not the larger "Imperial gallons". The current gas price is about $2.03/US gallon, thanks to the pandemic. 


    The pandemic has messed up my future transportation plans. In the next 5 years I wanted to be able to call for a "point-to-point" self driving electric car for my local shopping, and get rid of one car. That has effectively been killed unless they come up with a way of sterilizing the car after each passenger trip.


    Regarding air conditioning, all working locations, shops, houses and cars must have it here in Florida. With climate change most of the UK will also require it in the future
