Yes, this is health crisis, but because of our capitalist bent, it is also an economic crisis, in which the damage could be much more – if you could put a price on a human life.

Seagulls, faced with beaches empty of humans, might evert to getting their food from the sea, and stop ruining our waterfronts with their unattractive behaviour.

Obviously less consumption is better for the planet.

When we are forced to prioritise our spending, we might wake up to what we have been stupidly paying for:

• Reiki
• X of the Month Clubs
• Fake nails and eyelashes
• Smoothies
• Luxury brands
• Vitamins (except they might seem more useful during the crisis)

We might, in theory, lose a lot of bad habits and become more austere. Which isn’t good for a economic recovery that is based on GDP.
