That horse has bolted and is never going back. For instance, I work for an oil service company. Our activity almost tracks the price oil is traded at. When industry grinds to a halt because of a pandemic demand drops and so we become exposed. Nation state or not we are always going to do business with the rest of the world. Likewise, there are resources that we as a nation just don't have, we have to buy them from others. Simply finding an alternative may put us at a significant disadvantage. I expect what we'll see after this is much more thought being given to protocols to prevent and deal with future infectious diseases. Expect vaccines and diagnostic tests to be constantly researched and developed, necessary medical reserves to be reinforced etc etc. They'll prepare for the next pandemic like they do the next war now. Think we will have to wait and see how this one pans out, but as an old sceptic I,m suspecting this is far more economic than welfare based, it’s like there is a concerted effort to collapse the global economy going on hidden behind a virus that we are all going to get anyway and many of us may have already had 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Normally takes years... This topic was touched near the start of this thread. There's a few different companies working of vaccines. I think this one going to human trials is a quite new way of making a vaccine, they're called 3rd generation vaccines if you want to read up on them. Still, I'm led to believe it's the trials are are the most time consuming part. I wouldn't hold ya breath for one this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
