I've been reading recently about what effect 9/11 had on world national security in the US and throughout the world and the impact it had on, and investment's made by governments in the name of national security especially around airports etc. Large amounts of country's GDP has been spent on anti terrorist technology and this continous. today.
However as terrible as the 9/11 was, the level of disruption was local, contained and the damage this terrorist atrocity caused was just a small fraction compared to the world wide effect this virus has had on human life, and the world's economy. At that time 9/11 was a wake up call, and each country invested heavily in anti terrorists technology and surveillance.
Todays Covid virus is a massive step change from 9/11 and the challenge will be to develop technology that will stop another virus / chemical outbreak ( natural or man made) when first identified. The future will see massive investment in biochemical detection technology and surveillance by governments through out the world. It really does look like the the world will have to change, and adapt with much more sophisticated technology monitoring borders, public spaces, transport and aviation - to protect each country's borders.
Therefore , Kromeks involvement with the sigma + programme which began in 2018, to develop early detection of a biochemical virus etc - has now turned out to be the most important and valuable arm of the company, and we should see results by June 2021.
