Way back in my Presbyterian days I had a somewhat prophetic pastor. I've got a vague memory that he predicted something like this, probably in relation to a future business one of his sons would have, and which would be badly affected by a pandemic, which it has been.
He commented, "I think they'd have been better to have let it run through the community." But then he shrugged, "I suppose they will have wanted to save some lives."
He predicted that before he died himself in January 1992, along with a few other things eg. "I think you'll become Catholic."
Now we'll have to wait for the second and third waves, with Victoria pretty much isolated from the rest of Australia, and NSW increasingly so. International tourism will remain in the doldrums most likely till a vaccine has been developed and is widely available. We have no herd immunity. Government debt is going through the roof, and the piper will want to be paid sooner rather than later.
