Looks like the EU is struggling to put together a package to sort things out financially - not impressive so far. I'm starting to get a slight sense that the change that COVID is going to give us all might not be the socialist utopia vision, but the ultra isolationist, dog eat dog collapse of the international order.

 

We're starting to see countries clambering over each other to ensure they get supplies already, which will (I would imagine) lead to countries determining that they cannot trust the international markets in times of crisis, and conclude that their only option is to produce themselves to make sure they're protected against future eventualities.

 

I think overall it's another blow for globalism.

I've been playing this recently and was thinking to myself earlier that they should have pandemics as a global event

Just got back from a ride and I saw Ali Brownlee out with his mates.  That's his chances at Tokoyo gone.

Which bit?

 

The EU thing was reported in the news this afternoon, and the aspect concerning countries stealing medical supplies and requisitioning items intended for other countries has been in the news generally. Turkey stopped a shipment of ventilators to Spain, the US have upset both Germany and Canada by interfering with supplies , Canada has threaded to retaliate. I just have a feeling that some of the cracks are starting to open up.

You've always been a bit overboard in your love of the EU, Rayvin - you can strongly believe we would have remained while accepting it was/is deeply flawed. 

 

Of course we should have stayed and campaigned for reform but I still think you're a bit idealistic.

[ewerk 30393]

It’s a Eurozone rather than a EU problem isn’t it?

[NJS 4375]

I'd add that I agree it's going to get nasty - you have to hope we develop a vaccine because we'll have three hopes of getting it off the US, EU or anywhere else.

That's probably all true but i wasn't saying anything supportive of the EU here. I was critical of them for their so far fairly poor handling of it. Unless I've missed something in what you're saying.

This guy had it right. Lower tolls on Sundays and Monday's down to NHS procedures interrupted over the weekend. Tuesday bears the brunt of it and we recorded 938 deaths today.

No, I'm just saying it's what most people would expect but you seemed surprised.
