Can't believe the current situation has lead me to actual do my first post, but being stuck at home with worrying symptoms and health conditions for the last 2 1/2 weeks gives you plenty of time to mull things over and over in your head.

As per title, given what we are all about to experience, could we actually see a worldwide detox from capitalism/materialism? I imagine most of us are going to be prioritising essential spending for at least the next 5-6 months, alongside with a possible shift to wanting to keep friends & family close ( in spirit, even if we can't in person).

I think this could actual change the world in ways we could not even have imagined a few months ago.

Sorry for the long first post, keeping the mind from adult kids currently living in countries on the other side of the world, both DH & I having health issues (listed over and over in Gov warnings) and elderly parents hours away.

I am actually now hanging on to this idea as a tiny glimmer of hope for the future.

Hi Dryadia,

How wonderful to hear a positive slant at this tough time!
We like your thinking and agree perhaps it may make many of us reassess how we live.

We wanted to say hi and thanks for posting; hopefully we've given this a bump for you now so some of our users should be along shortly to chat this over with you.
