This guy is overly optimistic. Economically, global job loses are at a much higher rate than the great depression. To think that "this is only been two months" is to negate that it could take years to recover from this. It's only been two months, but the end is at least two years away for a vaccine. The economic damage is only really begun and will get worse. A recent US survey says that 50% of those polled had lost their jobs or their hours had been reduced. Let's be realistic here not overly optimist. This is just the beginning. The longer this goes, the harder it will be to crawl out of it.

I think the most important comment made was “no one has had to deal with before.” Historically, every generation has had to live with the threat of some serious infectious disease: polio, TB, syphilis, measles, childbirth fever, gangrene, etc. etc. and somehow continue to live productive lives without this pre-occupation. This reality is what modern culture doesn’t know how to deal with and needs to adapt to. Having a new infectious disease with no clear cure is really nothing new, but not knowing how to live with this threat IS.

Such a gifted man! Sadly for the past 3 years he has gone from delivering facts that open our eyes and make us think to common leftist digs. There are more than enough people spewing political barbs in our world. We don't need to waste our best talent like Malcolm on more of it. That said, it's his life and what he uses his talent for is up to him. I am grateful for the years I was able to listen to him. I respect his political sway and will leave him to it.

denniszenanywhere Hi! Thanks for your questions. No. I do NOT dislike WHO as an institution at all. It is just infuriating that a supposedly apolitical institution in charged with the world’s health has failed dismally to do so because of their PLAYING politics. In order to appease China, they failed to act Taiwan’s early warning last December. They spread misinformation after misinformation. Look at the timeline. It makes my blood boil just to think of all the lives lost and the destruction of the economies of the world that could have been prevented had they done their job. Taiwan clearly did better by NOT following WHO guidelines. This is evidence enough. Until now, they are still barred from joining the WHO. Btw, i am an overseas Chinese. Neither am i Taiwanese. I do not have any problems with any race, country or creed. As far as what can be done, first and foremost, the leadership has to held accountable with the mess that the world is in right now. Any leader of any responsible and credible institution would have been sacked for any evidence of incompetence. We DO need an apolitical WHO. However, the leadership is key to it’s success. At the very least, their guidelines has to be seriously updated to prevent future abuse of power. ✌️

People do adapt to the ´new normal´. Social distancing is already normal. Businesses will reopen, but social distancing will stay. Working from home will stay. Consult by phone or video will instead of going in person is going to stay and I think that is a good thing. We were traveling too much. I do not mean to other countries but to work and appointments.

TDR here, Trump did not adapt to the threat. It’s a dark cloud of shame on America. If Trump was in charge in 1941 , we would all be speaking German today. Trumps failure is a sad chapter in US history.

This was a very powerful and enlightening discussion but I think that the tendency for people to return to "normalcy" is not, in itself, any kind of threat to a human society because it is a natural response, in practically all earthly creatures, to threats that have subsided or have disappeared altogether. What we humans need to do (since we're so proud of our huge brains) is to anticipate danger ever better than we do now -- and prepare better. When the cat's away the mice will play. But prairie dogs do better than mice -- because one dog in the whole group is always on duty, standing as tall as he can on two legs for long periods like a soldier, to see as far in the distance as possible, and warns the rest of the community when a threat comes along so the community at large can be at ease and act "normally." The members take turns doing this sentry duty. National governments are supposed to be on sentry duty all the time but some fail -- like the Trump administration.

Churchill was not the remarkable leader that some think. 2-3 million Indians died of famine in 1943 due to Churchill's scorched earth policy in West Bengal. He did not send aid when asked.

I don’t think anyone has ever claimed Churchill was a good leader of / for India. He was a good war leader for Britain is what is usually meant and if you like him, or not, and I certainly have mixed feelings about him, you can’t take that away from him.

Credits humanity when we have a 90% acceptance of the removal of civil liberties. Disproportionate action and conformity to those in power, and that is widespread. The UK is closer to China than the UK. However the fact Channel 4 have allowed someone on to mildly debate how the world has over reacted is a smallest of small step toward.
