i'm interested in how people will react when the next medical crisis hits

most of us are fed up with lockdowns and restrictions some have become violent over it

what happens when the next thing hits?

pretty sure there will be denial and refusal

i doubt world economy can survive another big hit

Millions all over the world will find themselves in the state of extreme poverty this year because of the current lockdowns, poverty that is not going away. They would have nothing to lose and this will make them less scared in their reactions compared to the beginning of 2020.

A lot of middle-class guys doing well in the west don't even own the sofa they're sitting on, let alone the house, cars, boats, and big screen TV. Many people are making monthly payments on their comfortable life. But what happens when the govt. handouts run dry and their workplace has closed.They'll have some equity in their homes but there won't be demand for new owners and property prices will fall. Tough times for them.

One of my work colleagues is almost proud of the fact that she and her husband live hand to mouth each month, with their mortgage/bills, 2 cars on finance, new furniture and carpets on finance, new kitchen on finance, and rotating two or three credit cards to get by. She has not stopped complaining about being on furlough.

In the next 6-12 months, there will be some great property deals around.

Travel will never be the same again, that's for sure. I think we can expect enhanced health screening, certifications (of vaccine or antibodies who knows?), mandatory quarantine periods, travel insurance and rolling lockdowns. Someone will develop A test that is easy to administer, with results in minutes, and 99.9999% accurate.
I don't know how the world can survive another round of lockdowns when in reality Covid for which the median age of death is higher than the American life expectancy isn't the extinction level event the media kept telling us it was. Now I am not saying its not bad, and I don't want to catch it. But at some point we need to be able to leave our houses. The at risk can stay isolated until A vaccine is developed, everyone else should be able to live their lives though.

Your points are spot on and very valid. I’m about to go back to my “normal life” in just over a week, while also trying not to catch the virus, and at the same time keep my isolated parents away from risk. (The risk being me going about my normal life.). If only everything were as simple as “isolate the at risk” and go about with our lives.

If i were as old as the median age of deaths from this virus, i wouldn’t give a shit about dying from it as life is already past and staying inside four walls is not going to brighten it up. Egoistically grasping at an imaginary opportunity to prolong life at the expense of younger generations is not going to score additional points from the younger generations who are already angry because of the world problems older generations had created.

Old people should start a movement to call for cancelation of lockdowns to help their children and grandchildren who are now fucked beyond measure with the recent policies. The choice is to be dearly remembered or bitterly forgotten as egoists they have been the last three months.

The "west" is so compassionate, and thats great! But when grandpa joe, who is in end of life care, gets an extra 12-15 months of A hospital bed existence at the expense of the entire world...Im not saying we cant have empathy for those family members! However, second and third level effects from A prolonged lockdown are certain to be worse than someone at the end of the road dying A few months early.
