I believe that if they don’t open the country up right away, we will go into a severe economic decline that will take several years to correct.
The problem with all of this is that the money already lost is not coming back. Orders for manufacturing has stopped. Shipping has stopped.
Services will run OK for a month, but they will start to die as the manufacturing unemployment will not start up fast enough to keep it going.
We are an inclined plane wrapped around a vertical pole.
I sure hope that global economic depressions build a lot of character.
