One hope I have is that there is a pandemic strategy that will come out of this. Not many years ago I think Obama was pushing for such a strategy both in the US and globally. Not a lot came of it. It might have been related to the I-bola outbreak. I think that this Covid pandemic has shown how unprepared we are.
Interestingly, last week I saw figures from China describing a big reduction in benefit payments. Does this reinforce last year’s drop in mobile phone contracts being mooted as due to Covid deaths? Under statement of deaths in China?
There are also some strangely low Covid death numbers in a few countries. A case of political manipulation and face saving?
Edited to add that the China figures are unverified.
