I have an elderly neighbor on a fixed income who predicted this weeks ago.
Easy prediction, actually. We are NOT in this together, but apart and alone. And our only “action” is to wait, interminably.
No one is keeping a tally of the other side for the ledger, i.e. those killed, maimed, hurt, by the over reaction.
Delays in health care for cancer and dialysis patients in some cases early on. Delays for heart attack patients. Suicide rates. Decrease in vaccinations... Then there was the impact by law and fire services in some cases. Essential services for the poor which all but completely fell away in many cases (try getting help from the VA, or the work force commission...).
There are two sides of an accounting ledger.
