We fly, Cruise, Drive and Ride the rail lines across our planet. We have built high rise buildings and we have built skyscrapers touching the skies. We have built millions of miles of roads and we drive on the roads to anywhere we like. But! we are still humans. We get infected like other animals, we get sick and have to go to hospital if we become so seriously ill. And we can die from our illness. This is a pandemic that will never end. Yes we have a vaccine that will protect the most vulnerable. But! in the end the virus will still be with us.
We though will be released from the worst this virus can do. There will be medications that will end the virus in our bodies. But medical science will have to keep up with the evolving virus. The mutations that will come will have to be countered and the vaccine altered and us will have to be re-vaccinated this we can do. And then we can continue to travel the world. Seeing the sights that the world has to offer. Travel will become easier after the end of the virus. But! there will be new restrictions when things get back to normal.
Did We Just See Nelson ?
The UK has now left the EU’ Single market. The biggest Market on the planet and we have just seen the UK leave the EU’s customs union. The UK government claim they will be able to strike a deal with another country which will be better than the one they had when they were when they were a member of the EU. But the days of single countries that are trading on their own is long over. The world now trades commodities. How does a single country get the best deal on the commodities market if its not a member of a trading block. It can’t!
No one single country can do this on its own. It will have to trade with third world countries because trading blocks will not sell to a single country. The last time the world traded like this was just after the second world war. After the creation of the first trading block. The EEC. All the other countries had to follow suit. Because the EEC took all the trade away from the other countries. That’s why third world countries are so poor. It is a mistake for the UK to leave the EU. And for trade they will not make up the finances before they left.
