But that is not all by far. As a consequence of the lockdowns up to now we have a severe global economic crisis to manage. Worldwide production hangs in complete disarray. Global logistics is on the floor, supply chains are broken, harvests are being lost, there are food supply bottlenecks, and on top of this a scarcity for a large part of the economy of essential semi-conductors.
But also we are seeing the problems are not being addressed and solved, but multiplied and magnified via the application of further measures and the constant threat of new restrictions.
The most recent example: in China a port freight terminal, the third largest in the world, has been closed down due to a single positive test from a worker there. Or take New Zealand, where in all seriousness during the last week, five million people were put in lockdown for three days because a single 58-year-old had a positive test.
