When it really happens: SHTF...

I think when this has 'eventually' passed in the Western world, we will be left with a world turned on its head.

The virus will circle round and round like a carousel on the African and Indian continents and central Asia, it will kill Millon's of poor undernourished people and dangerously destabilise large areas, think the Syrian situation on steroids (with nuclear weapons, in the case of India/Pakistan).

Worldwide airline travel simply won't recover for years and it may never be the same again.

It will take a vaccine, deployed worldwide to shut this down,that will take years guys.

The news coming out of the US tonight, that individual states are competing (and bidding against each other) for ventilators and protective equipment is disturbing, massively driving up the price of this critical life saving equipment.

I sincerely hope the federal government bangs heads together and takes control very quickly......

The UK has finally got it's act together, a bit late, but a true national effort is underway on a massive scale, with over half a million members of the public forming a volunteer army to assist in all areas of the coordinated national response.

The NHS is now on a war footing and going 'full tilt' to meet the coming **** storm.

Companies all over the country are now involved in the rapid prototyping and production of ventilators and other medical equipment.
