Pandemic
Since the WHO declared Coronavirus a pandemic, many interesting (and some frightening) things are going to happen. International travel will collapse, events will be cancelled, supply chains will be severely disrupted, social gatherings will all but disappear, workplaces will become ghost-towns, food shortages will occur (mostly due to panic buying) – and despite all of this, a lot of people will be sick. This is classic emergence behaviour in self-organising systems, where local information becomes the strongest driver: copy-thy-neighbour is the new organising principle. As this ripples through the system, it creates waves of tipping points. Buckle-up! Storms ahead.
