China Virus Threat 2020

RE: China Virus Threat 2020
Yes SD but you are also looking at a new situation where things might come to be measured in terms of before the plague and after the plague.

We have no idea what the future holds in a society reshaped by population loss. We have not seen such possible reductions since the Great War was followed by Spanish Flu 1918-1920.

The Plague of the 1350s changed the labor structure of GB and shaped the national history and politics as no other incident did before or after.

The shortage of farm labor caused a restructuring of society in the rural areas as the urban areas saw half their populations wiped out.

The labor contracts that resulted from the restructuring of farm labor brought the rise of the Yeoman Farmer to the extent that it is credited with breaking down serfdom in England earlier than in any other European nation.

You are also facing the loss of a single large age group and voting block. Everyone that is old enough to remember "how it used to be" may be dead by the end of all this.

And there is the distinct possibility that the benefits society might be forced to end due to global economic meltdown such as has never been seen. The rush to mitigate damage to the economies of the world has created a debt load that may define international politics for the next century, ending the ability to support a welfare state and causing wars we never imagined might happen.

Russia seems to be the least affected of the developed nations. That or they are not reporting the cases. Think on that for a bit.
