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).

    Hello Simon:


    If I read you correctly you can only get flu shots at your GP. 


    I get my flu shot at a local drug store (chemist like Boots). Being over 65 I get it for free and also a $5 coupon to purchase anything in the store.


    How are they going to give the COVID-19 vaccine to the UK population without having additional outlets?


    I hear that some of the vaccines in development require storage at -80 C. Does you GP have a storage freezer that goes down that low?

    Many (but not all) pharmacies also do flu vaccinations.  I assume they have some way to determine who should get it free on the NHS and who has to pay.


    I can't imagine anybody but specialist laboratories have freezers that go down to -80C.  I don't see how such a vaccine could be practical.
