Lockdown season calls for a paradigm shift in conduct of business

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The Covid-19 has certainly pushed the world into desperate times. Every sector of social and economic enterprise has been affected. Businesses and organisations that depend on human interactions and exchanges are the most hit. The transport industry, especially international air travel, the hospitality industry, and social activities such as sports, worship services, weddings and funerals, are all impacted.

Pictures of various cities in Europe and North America show the significant impact this pandemic has visited on human activity. Major road complexes that are usually extra busy with six to eight lanes of vehicles, are deserted with only a handful of vehicles zooming past every once in a while. Some cities are like ghost towns, with no human life in sight. It certainly appears like a dress rehearsal for the end of the age.
