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 Clive:


    Are you old enough to remember the Polio outbreak? Some people who were placed in iron lungs and survived it, are still having residual medical problems today. 


    I remember a well built young engineer where I worked, getting polio and coming back to work some 8-12 months later in a wheelchair. 


    We are already hearing about some people who had COVID-19 having long term problems with their lungs, heart and brains. Will they get Alzheimer's in 20-30 years?
