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:


    I noticed in today's Daily Mail an article relating to the cost of saving a person life in the UK - See the attached URL for details.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8795383/How-year-life-saved-Covid-19-costs-180-000.html

    It would appear that a person's life in the UK is worth a lot less that in the US!


    However ROI is only a part of the equation to determine who will live or die at any age.


    The other part to be considered is what I call "social conscience" or a countries "moral standards".


    I remember seeing the movie of the opening of the Belsen concentration camp in 1945 when I was about 8 years old. It was issued by the UK government to show why it was right for the UK to fight in  WW11 and to try and make sure that it never happened again. It made a tremendous impact on my life.


    Everyone should make an attempt to give back to society during their life, both while working and during retirement by (for example) unpaid volunteering, in places like hospitals or nursing homes.
