Formula One’s governing body, the FIA has confirmed that the sport agreed to delay the technical regulation overhaul for 2021 until 2022 due to the ongoing coronavirus crises.
I've been thinking that after this, because governments will be pumping money in every place they can, those industries or companies with established governmental funding or support channels will likely come out of this faster and in better health than Joe small business (at least while Goverments don't do helicopter money / UBI style intervention). We kind of know this intuitively - we can all guess which industries are getting bailed out..PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑31 Mar 2020, 16:27To hold a race the paying countries need to have the money to pay for it. With this economic downturn... That might be a littlw difficult.
The other issue is reintroduced infections. Essentially, nearly the whole globe needs to be clear of this virus before international events can be held without infection risk.
I read that the Sky contract with F1 specifies at least 15 races. After that there must be a reduction, so pressure.
It's inevitable that governments will start the "how many lives is our economy worth" vs "how many lives lost when no one can work" utilitarian politicking very soon. We should all hope those arguments are made with good data in hand and not had too soon.etusch wrote: ↑31 Mar 2020, 19:25What if there were not so much news on tv about viruses which keeps people concentrated on this ? If you ask me, everyone doing it wrong. Because of economic needs of every company and every people , in some point neither governments nor people will want to keep going to live like this, because it is not susteinable, and they will decide to return normal life and I think as soon as this happens, everything will be as normal as before.
In fact current situation is their guilt. They allow so much news on media which frightened people. so they went hospitals when they feel fever which is not a bad thing in reality (it is just a way that human body fight with toxics in the body) or moved from infected area. If those were not happened maybe there were not going to be so many infection.nzjrs wrote: ↑31 Mar 2020, 20:57It's inevitable that governments will start the "how many lives is our economy worth" vs "how many lives lost when no one can work" utilitarian politicking very soon.

In English I'd say "don't count your chickens before they hatch". Time will tell if turkey ends up like Italy, and time will also tell where Italy ends up.etusch wrote: ↑ For example, in Turkey, deaths were declared more than 200 by now.

If there were not so much frightened people , hospitals may be concentrated more on real medical help needs
Another question is; how many people would die if this countermeasures didn't proceed? More or same?nzjrs wrote: ↑31 Mar 2020, 21:43In English I'd say "don't count your chickens before they hatch".

Looking at life from a different perspective makes you realize that it's not the deer that is crossing the road, rather it's the road that is crossing the forest." - Muhammad Ali
I don't want to say that we should not do any precautionary actions But say that those are not what we have to do.
more would die without countermeasures, because some people can be saved with intensive care, ventilators, cpap and everything, and we can't all have those at once, and also logically the virus should mutate over time into a less lethal form, and also there will be a vaccine before everybody gets it, if we can slow the spread down
