“I have a gut feeling this virus is just the beginning of some really serious readjusting for most of humanity.”
Since we’re STILL not taking this seriously, I’m thinking that, at this point, our standard of living will decline to where we were 50 or so years ago. And if we keep playing games with letting the virus burn through, and then start taking it seriously when we realize just what that means, then we’re looking at reverting to depression-level living.
Either way, what was normal just 2 months ago is GONE, probably for decades, at least in this country.
Not 50 years ago. 20 at the outside, and as little as ten if we’re lucky.
I completely agree. Like 9-11, this is going to change life as we knew it. I just can't wrap my brain around how much, or in what ways, yet.
