Deloitte: The #Future of Operations, Deloitte Global Impact Report, Nov 13 2017

#ControlledDemolition
#Covid19 is the conduit to the #4IR now in full motion. As people come to terms w/ what is being forced upon humanity, we will soon regret that we did not unite to oppose to draconian lockdowns/expanding surveillance that will serve to protect/insulate ruling classes from revolt.
#UBI (universal basic income) is a tool designed by the rich to stave off #Molotov cocktails - while at the same time enriching themselves even further. The ruling class knows full well what they are unleashing - but the citizenry does not.

L. Rafael Reif, President, #MIT, Davos, Jan 18, 2018:

"Yet many fear that this time the change may be so fast and so vast, and its impact so uneven & #disruptive, that it may threaten not only individual livelihoods but the #stability of #society itself."

Independent researcher Alison Hawver McDowell:

"A new global economic apparatus is being laid down that is profoundly anti-human. The Fourth Industrial Revolution will dispossess people from their means of survival and replace "work" with robots and #AI."

"Although the technology to conduct #virtual doctor visits has existed for decades, regulatory and financial barriers have often hindered adoption. In response to the novel #coronavirus, some regulatory hurdles have been removed…at least temporarily."

"In the near-term, we anticipate that adoption of #virtual #health will accelerate in an uncoordinated, haphazard way. But over the longer term, it will likely become the new normal."

April 9 2020: Some Canadian hospitals are half-empty – and that’s a mixed blessing

"Our hospital ward is only half full. We have not consistently seen, in more than a decade of training & practice, so few patients in hospital as in the last two weeks."
"The [three] #COVID19 patients who no longer needed ventilators were quickly transferred to wards, which also have capacity. Earlier this week, in the emergency department, I was downright bored as I stared at an empty tracker board..."
"All of this extra capacity begs the question: What happened to all the sick people? Similar anecdotes abound... A #child w/ meningitis who died hours after arriving at hospital after being sick for days, the parents too afraid to bring the child to hospital..."

"A new report from the Institute for Policy Studies found that, while tens of millions of Americans have lost their jobs during the #coronavirus pandemic, America's ultra-wealthy elite have seen their net worth surge by $282 billion in just 23 days."
"For example take something like health... You know, you'll wear your #device on your arm and you'll be able to start thinking about outcome based #health - and only going to the doctor when you're diagnosed."
