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 Malcolm:


    Strange that you mentioned South Korea in your response. The last paid job I had was working for a Korean company here in the US.


    From time to time I had to visit their manufacturing plants in South Korea.


    They had this practice of never firing engineers or managers but effectively "Sent them to Coventry" by assigning them to a cupboard with a chair and desk and no one ever spoke to them.


    My boss (a US citizen) had to join the family that owned the company by having to kiss the ring of the highest ruling member of the clan.


    They have a cruel culture, where an individual was always of secondary importance to the needs of the whole group.


    This may explain how they responded to the pandemic.
