This may be a new subject for a new thread.
Lets look forward to what needs to happen post Covi19 to keep the world better protected. Do we need to have a set of global health and safety standards if we are to have a global economy and global society?
In most developed countries we have the basics of health and food safety standards that mitigate threats to public health disasters. Some countries have cultural and much less restrictions on food safety that as we now see can easily and quickly spread to a global pandemic. What measures should be put in place to bring all countries to a reasonable standard and what would those health standards be? Will there be new travel restrictions for travel to and from certain areas? Not a shut down but more invasive check points?
Second, a big part of the "climate change" initiatives has been creating mass population centers which I never understood to begin with. The more mass populated an area is the more pollution there will be in those areas but also the more likely that a virus like Covi 19 will be difficult to contain as we are seeing in NY and other population condensed areas around the world. Not to get into a climate change discussion but do climate change and globalization initiatives at odds with what is needed to mitigate global pandemics?
Supply chains are at a near standstill because they were pretty much originating from a very few countries and being shipped around the globe. This was done for either corporate profits or to maintain affordable consumer prices depending on how you look at it. How does this change going forward and how does it affect the movement for a global economy and global supply chain?
