Corona Virus: What comes after it?

Corona Virus: What comes after it?

We cannot listen to the news without the customary report about the economic consequences of the present Corona Virus crisis. 

Day in, day out, those who know about economics and those who play by ear, they all have something to say about impending doom.

What about if the present crisis changes the way we do things for the better? What if numbers and percentages are seen no more as rulers? What if we start looking at life and human beings as what they are: life and human beings.

There is no point in talking about the number of dead people including those who are dying in care homes if we are not willing to implement necessary changes to ensure that should a similar situation arise in the future we are better prepared to keep people alive.

What if we can work better and more efficiently without being crowded in cars and public transport? What if we save the time we spend travelling around having a more balanced lifestyle? We could produce more, have better lives, and have much a much better economy.

Comments made about how Beijing looked before the Corona Virus crisis and how Beijing looks now during the Corona Virus crisis, about how animals were returning to places taken over by humans beings, made me think. What about making the improvements generated by a tragedy a permanent feature of a new way of life?

Where there is danger, there is opportunity. The opportunity to do things much better.
