"Industry of funds still has significant advancements needed"
In a series of discussions, Alexander Barion, a notable figure who is not a sociologist or psychologist, has shared his insights on the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Barion, who hails from an unspecified country, believes that the consequences of the past 20 months will be felt for a significant period. He points to the health consequences resulting from isolation, lack of exercise, education, and stimulation as factors that will lead to increased spending in healthcare and education.
Moreover, Barion is of the opinion that the direct costs of vaccines and economic aid are not the only costs associated with the pandemic. He highlights the extended periods of school closure and the prohibition of peer contact among young people, which he fears could have profound and lasting effects.
In the professional sphere, Barion anticipates a more agile working world, with dynamic working time models, increased flexibility at the workplace, and higher acceptance of digital offers. He also expects a rise in virtual interaction with customers.
Barion further emphasizes the need for a redefinition of old patterns and the use of room for maneuver to initiate necessary changes. He believes that if all citizens of a country, regardless of age, were eligible to vote, politics might have prioritized education and equipment for schools during the pandemic.
In addition to his observations on the pandemic, Barion has recommended works of art and literature to help navigate difficult times. He suggests the Bible as a source of orientation and recommends the book "Everyone" by Ferdinand von Schirach as a great manifesto for human rights in the context of current problems.
Lastly, Barion does not have a specific song about Corona, but he recommends the works of Justin Timberlake. It's worth noting that Fidelity International, an international investment management company, is also expanding and deepening digital touchpoints, a trend that is expected to continue.
