Some of us seem to recall telling certain people on FR this last month when they were slinging scary projection charts like they were going out of style.

Boy.....that attitude here shifted real quick.

Yup. There are still a few die-hard Fearbros on here, posting incessantly, usually accusing anyone who raises questions about this of being morons, or of being greedy bastards who don’t care if grandma dies.

Well, the good news is that we're beginning to see that people are coming out their haze of fear to look at this from a wider perspective. Not many, yet, and essentially none in DC or among the petty tyrants in the states who I quite certain are pleased -- if not thrilled -- with their new self-appointed power and authority.

Be prepared that this awakening we're starting to see may be muted over the next couple of weeks resulting not from renewed fear of the Chinese virus, but rather from the dulling effects of "fiscal anesthesia" -- the recovery checks and the enhanced unemployment benefits. But the dulling will fade -- I expect sooner rather than later -- as the weather gets better, the days become longer and the "novelty" of house arrest and spending every minute of every day indoors with the young-'uns (God love 'em) wears increasingly thin.
