    The way we live as humans with lots of travel and areas of high population density means we are vulnerable to things like viruses.

    But this isn’t some mystical intentional warning from nature, it’s just a natural thing (a virus). This isn’t the first and won’t be the last pandemic we face. And slowing down society (I assume you mean move away from capitalism? Or talking about climate change?) won’t stop these events from occurring.

    More people working from home, less people in Cities, less people using public transport, less time in work. It would all help with the environmental issues.

    We should do this every year - not the virus, the shut down. For one month every year, ground the planes, dock the cruise liners, stop strip mining, forest burning, close the factories, and give the Earth a chance to breath.

    A friend said to me the other day, Mother Nature doesn’t need us, we need her. So either we start showing the planet some respect, or we pay the price.

    Of course many people will refuse to see this - there’s none so blind as those who will not see - but it’s pretty ****ing obvious to me.

    Oh I agree, I just don’t think it’s some message from nature.

    I would love this to happen. Quality of life. Appreciate life. 4 day week or I would quite like doing 5 days but earlier finishes like many countries who aren't about the rat race choose to live.

    The problem is when this was being discussed suring the General Election (to be achieved within a 10 year timeframe) it was largely mocked because the country couldn't afford it.

    Once this pandemic is over we will be hundreds of billions in debt, maybe trillion? Generations could be paying for it. Sadly that means the 4 day week is even.less likely. Or the will to do it won't be there.

    This really has put proper LIFE into perspective though. Might wait until the kids are in Uni and just drop out! Go rogue.
