I wish Chuck hadn’t locked the last thread we had here where we could discuss the effects of the the Covid 19 pandemic on our lives. I thought we were doing a pretty good job of avoiding the dreaded P word. So I thought I would try again.

There are a myriad of predictions on how the pandemic might change lives forever, some pretty extreme. But it’s difficult to find intelligent discussion not based on generating advertising revenues or hidden (or not so hidden) political agendas. First of all, I would appreciate some recommendations of where to look for intelligent discussion. And secondly, I’m interested in what folks here think. For example, lives vs. economics is kind of a biggie.

just as an example of were this society will be willing to go.... remember all the public service announcements condemning texting and driving? At a time there were more deaths associated with texting and driving than drunk driving. few people knew that there was software that could sense the phones gps as moving and disable or limit its functionality. yep... the big companies and politicians were willing to let their loved ones, mostly teenagers die.....

And that's why John …. In this climate it will get political just that fast … I rest my case …
