What’s a post-Corona world going to look like?
The BBC has a very interesting article:

http://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200331-covid-19-how-will-the-coronavirus-change-the-world

Basically, there is a significant chance of appreciation switching from jobs which create wealth to jobs which are needed to maintain health.

The author spells out 4 scenarios, the two most capitalist being actually quite negative.
He explains why.

Whether you agree with his analysis and conclusions or not, it is extremely interesting.

The world is going to change. That much is certain. Just think of the boost video conferencing is getting. This, alone, will have a major impact on job-movement; also influencing the environment.

No matter what: interesting times ahead!

Does the BBC see a future where people aren't forced to fund it. People who often disagree with it's content and MO.

I dont think the world will change much at all. More safe guards put in place regarding china maybe.

I agree the world is going to change, things will never be back to what they were.

Some of us will not be around to see the new world.

Maybe more safe guards regarding who gets in the White House.

International travel will be stopped until a vaccine is found or the virus is eradicated. Countries that allow wild animal markets will be shut of from travel until they prove it has been stopped.

The world has ALREADY changed. The question is how much in the future, for instance, is it a recurring thing like flu and when does a vaccine get developed?

The Dollar gets replaced by the Yen as the world currency of choice.

That may be true if Trump gets re-elected. He sure hypnotized YOU.
