With nearly 3 million recorded cases and 200,000 deaths the current Pandemic has shut down life as we knew it just a few months ago. The response of our countries has been a massively expensive quarantine designed to protect those most at risk. These are overwhelmingly old, sick or fat people. It is testimony to the influence of Christianity on our culture that we have sacrificed trillions to save the most vulnerable. Right now people understand that as the right thing to do. But as savings run out ,companies go bust and people are made unemployed and the isolation drives more andmore people mad what then?
Even if we survive this Pandemic and with Quantum easing wipe out all the debts incurred by it,what happens next time. Will we isolate a second time for a Sars-3.
Is this the beginning of a new social Darwinism? Or perhaps some kind of test of our Christian instincts as a culture? Is this plague just the beginning of a series of events aggravated by population growth and ecological collapse that will ultimately cause the love of the many for the few to grow cold and change the way we think about our communities? Or are we likelyto prioritise health budgets and care home provision to a greater extent when this is all over
