But the possible impact that I can see on the horizon following this is a fundamental change to the capitalist system. It's pretty much giving carte blanche to socialism taking over. The reason for the marshall plan was to stop this post-WWII. But we are in a different world from then.
We could end up in an anarchic society if the virus gets out of hand but I do not think that will happen because they are taking action to get organised now.
All actions are now being taken to get this under control before things go crazy, but long term it will take forever and a day to recover and that will mean a very different economic model. However, everyone is working together now after an indecisive phase. When we work together here we do it well.

No good hoping for the police to do the job.
They're too busy chasing speeding motorists and investigating offensive words on Twitter.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
Younger sis, who works at Sainsbury’s, has been advised by her GP surgery to isolate for 12 weeks! Whether she gets paid...well, as she said, she’ll have to survive on her state pension and no doubt put all expenditures on hold.One P&D seeing me today reckoned I too should be s/i. I said...I’m moving in three weeks! And who else would shop for my sister, and top up her gas and electricity cards? And do shopping when her supplies run out?
Oh, hang on. There’s nothing on the shelves...

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
Iv,e been reading on how 'greedy and selfish' some people have been by stock piling food and toilet rolls.The government have told many of us to self isolate for up to four months.
What are we supposed to live on for four months is we do not stock up?
