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 Clive:


    All engineers at one time or other in their working lives are asked the question "What is the return of Investment?"


    Taken in the context of the life and death decisions associated with COVID-19, it raises the question of how much a living person is worth or in another view, how much is it worth to save a person's life?


    In the US government regulations concerning safety improvements in automobiles the defined human value was about $8 million.


    Eliminating the body by cremation is relatively cheap at about $800.


    However taking the problem of opening businesses with an on- going COVID-19 pandemic is a very complex situation, which has been reported in a WIRED" article - see the attached URL for details:-
