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

Peter Brooks
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).

    Peter Brooks:

    Good morning:

    I would like to ask a question which indirectly deals with the current COVID-19 pandemic.


    I have just finished a COVID-19 Guardian podcast which discussed the need for getting a Flu shot in the UK.

    .

    Here in the US only about 40 % of the total population get the annual flu shot. The percentage is higher for people over 65 years. 

    There are two versions of the  flu vaccine- a "basic" version and a "high dose" version specifically for people over 65. 

    Yesterday I got my high dose version made by Sanofi-Pasteur called Fluzone Quad. 


    What is the situation in the UK?

    A bit shambolic, as usual.  People are still avoiding going to see their doctors.  I only discovered that my GP is already making appointments for flu jabs when I looked on their Facebook page.  No doubt, they will still be pushing people to get their vaccinations as late as January, as usual.


    In the UK, it's usually only the elderly and people with specific medical conditions who are offered the vaccination for free.  But it sounds like they want to catch more people this year
