Det är inte pesten eller spanska sjukan, visst många dör men inte så många att det gäller att stänga ner hela jävla samhället för coronas skull, det känns som hysteri. De måste öppna upp igen förr eller senare. Jag tror Sveriges linje är den rätta, sen att de borde gjort mer från början för att skydda äldreboenden.
Ett boktips till dig och alla andra som går omkring i liknande tankar:
"Covid 19: The Great Reset" av Klaus Schwab, som kom ut för en månad sedan. Klaus Schwab är en 82-årig professor och multimiljardär som är grundare och styrelseordförande i World Economic Forum, och har således väldigt mycket att säga till om i denna agenda, och kan därför svara på de flesta av våra frågor. En liten teaser från förordet i boken, tycker jag säger en hel del om vad som försiggår:
”The worldwide crisis triggered by the coronavirus pandemic has no parallel in modern history. We cannot be accused of hyperbole when we say it is plunging our world in its entirety and each of us individually into the most challenging times we’ve faced in generations. It is our defining moment – we will be dealing with its fallout for years, and many things will change forever. It is bringing economic disruption of monumental proportions, creating a dangerous and volatile period on multiple fronts – politically, socially, geopolitically – raising deep concerns about the environment and also extending the reach (pernicious or otherwise) of technology into our lives. No industry or business will be spared from the impact of these changes. Millions of companies risk disappearing and many industries face an uncertain future; a few will thrive.
On an individual basis, for many, life as they’ve always known it is unravelling at alarming speed. But deep, existential crises also favour introspection and can harbour the potential for transformation. The fault lines of the world – most notably social divides, lack of fairness, absence of cooperation, failure of global governance and leadership – now lie exposed as never before, and people feel the time for reinvention has come. A new world will emerge, the contours of which are for us to both imagine and to draw. At the time of writing (June 2020), the pandemic continues to worsen globally. Many of us are pondering when things will return to normal. The short response is:
never.
Nothing will ever return to the “broken” sense of normalcy that prevailed prior to the crisis because the coronavirus pandemic marks a fundamental inflection point in our global trajectory. Some analysts call it a major bifurcation, others refer to a deep crisis of “biblical” proportions, but the essence remains the same:
the world as we knew it in the early months of 2020 is no more, dissolved in the context of the pandemic.
Radical changes of such consequence are coming that some pundits have referred to a “before coronavirus” (BC) and “after coronavirus” (AC) era. We will continue to be surprised by both the rapidity and unexpected nature of these changes – as they conflate with each other, they will provoke second-, third-, fourth- and more-order consequences, cascading effects and unforeseen outcomes.
In so doing, they will shape a “new normal” radically different from the one we will be progressively leaving behind. Many of our beliefs and assumptions about what the world could or should look like will be shattered in the process.”
