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).

    Thanks Peter,

    The result of waiting for test results to prove that a vaccine is safe is costing thousand of lives and the world economy is in tatters. Over 80's should all be offered the opportunity to be vaccinated with a experimental vaccine of their choice immediately instead of the latest flu' vaccine. Within 2 months we will be able to know from the results which vaccine works the best.  No more delays and hedging by so called experts nor play it safe politicians.


    The problem is that the people who run trials have ethics boards to report to.


    Your suggestion involves deliberately withholding a vaccine that could save the lives of older people.  Then using them as guinea pigs to see how many die after giving them a vaccine that's had only basic safety testing.


    I can only assume that you have no older relatives that you care about, because all your suggestions on how to fix our current situation involve sacrificing anyone over 80.
