    Interesting tiimes. 
    The tendency is this crisis was to turn inwards - which happenned everywhere. 
    What I can see is covid provided the perfect excuse for splashing money to attempt to build small versions of industries that would make little sense in a normal situation. All with parliament closed, seems like a perfect situation for a crash when the inquiry looks into it - but it will seem as if it was just because of the emergency.
    We can all see another consequence in the increased prices in the supermarkets already. 
    A nice thing is also how people are supporting their local restaurants and take aways, who are seeing some hard times...

    Currently torn between the sense of running down the freezer to use up stocks in a time sensible way and looking at all these non socially distanced demonstrations and packed beaches etc and wondering the Coronavirus spike will end up being as bad as the first wave, in which case we could see another run on a lot of essential supplies.
