There are the 'have's' and the 'have not's'.<p>I don't think that it is easy for the 'have's' to see how the situation affects the 'have not's'.<p>For those in the first world that are in managerial positions, healthy and on a pension or with inherited wealth the situation is very different to that facing those living paycheck to paycheck or without a paycheck.<p>Essentially this means there is some class struggle going on, between the 'have's' and 'have not's'. If you are a 'have not' then this is centre stage, if you are a 'have' this is curiously absent. I found this report was written by a 'have'.

Many years ago (10?) she published a PowerPoint deck that blew everyone's mind and we all learned her name. Every year since she publishes a PowerPoint deck that is full of numbers and is otherwise no more insightful than any other analyst's PowerPoint deck full of numbers. Each time she releases a new deck I open it hoping for another like the first one, and each time it's utterly disposable.
Covid looks to me like that space stone that finished dinosauruses. Basically it just accelerated/cleared path for the trends which were already well underway (feathered flying dinosauruses, mammals, online retail, cloud, etc. in while the classic dinosauruses and retail, onpremise datacenters/applications, regular commuting to the office and assigned desk, etc. out).
Is this health care's year of linux? I have been working around remote video telehealth since the late 90s. It has always been right around the corner.
Just watch china. Its 2 months ahead in time. Right after lockdown, traffic jams are back. Though borders are still closed. But watch them. In case the outbreak returns.
