Yep. I think that’s where we’re headed. All the panic, cancellations etc. likely to cause an economic collapse. It will be much worse than the damage done by the virus itself.
How far back is this conspiracy to destroy the economy? China, who we now know covered up the virus and way under-stated infections and deaths and allowed it to rage and spread beyond their borders before revealing the issue. We know that the virus itself is no more dangerous than the influenza viruses that we face every year (and not particularly more virulent either). We know that good hygiene is the best defense.
And in the midst of this - the Russians and Saudis decide to kill the oil and gas industry by dumping supplies on the market.
It’s the economy, stupid.
