Hi RF1980 - I think/hope that after all this is over, Government and industries take a long hard look at this situation and capitalise on the need for major change to:
1) Healthcare - preparedness for future pandemics and ensuring we have the resources in place to act swiflty - people and technology
2) Social care - ensuring we able to manage the vulnerable in our society - sufficient care staff in place and medical research to help our aging citizens - this will be you and I one day
3) Environment - we will witness an incredible drop in harmful gases in our atmosphere in the upcoming weeks - we need to capitalise on this position and ensure we can drastically reduce emissions at a scale not even comprehended just a matter of weeks ago. We have the brains, we have the technology both of which can come together to roll out at unprecedented speed. All we need is the political will to make it happen and the will of multi-nations. Not only will this result in a cleaner planet but the new jobs that will be created on the back of such initiatives will become a self fulfilling prophecy. Pie in the sky ? ..... from what I've seen of this country in the past 2 weeks, absolutely anything IS possible.
