It’s not an anyone’s fault.

The 1918 flu had a mini depression that followed.

This is always the way with pandemics.

Some get wealthy, some lose everything.

Danger == opportunity

There’s no ‘right’ answer here.

Just realize that every ICU visit will likely end with million dollar bills. That’s distressing to me. Because if you want Bernie bros, that’s how you get bernie bros.

YOu can’t really do ‘a little’ social distancing. It has to be all or it isn’t going to buy you really any time.

Just remember the mini depression of 1919/20 was followed by the roaring 20’s.

We should REALLY invest in more antiviral programs. Vaccine development is an iffy thing for these ‘popup’ viruses. Society can’t ‘wait’ a year or even 6 months for a vaccine. An antiviral program that had a large bench would be something that might enable continuity of society without these sinkholes in the middle of the highway.

I think a lot of people’s greatest fear right now is that Trump won’t get re-elected because of this. That’s what the flubros concern is about.
