The Age of Consequences - a documentary about the effect climate change is having on the world. If you think the Covid-19 virus thing is bad you ain't seen nothing yet! Which reminds me. What the hell are they going to do when the virus hits all those migrant camps all over Southern Europe? A disaster waiting to happen.
And on another pleasant note, the 'government' here has put the whole place in lockdown. As a result, people are now going ape-shit in the supermarkets buying up everything they can, fighting over toilet paper (still can't figure out why they think that's the most important thing to buy - plain stupid), attacking each other over trolleys, verbally abusing staff for not having enough stock on the shelves - as if it's their fault.
People's true natures are starting to emerge. All it takes is a little fear...
The human race is truly twisted.
There are many conspiracy theories and false news stories about the Covid-19 outbreak but in reality it's just Mother Nature rebalancing the scales once more. Too many people on the planet who are buying up too much junk, creating too much waste and not looking after the place. Aunty Eden wants payback for all the crap it has had to endure at the hands of Man.
Finally, it's interesting to note how much the pollution levels in China have dropped since the economy has slowed down. NASA posted a couple of pictures recently. The change in air quality is quite remarkable. There's a lesson for us all there. And of course there is going to be a huge economic impact to many, many industries. Flybe gone to the wall, SAA laying off 4700 people, Italian Tourism industry in tatters, bus companies folding left, right and centre, Cruise ship companies on the slippery slope - and this is just the start of it.
And of course the insurance companies will raise their premiums.
And once it's all over will the human race have learnt anything? - of course not. We never do.
