We still have too many here who underestimate this thing. Supply chains all over the planet are crashing. Yeah, sure, we should cover all that (well, ok, most of it) ourselves, internally, but there’s just no way to reverse two generations of growing dependence on others built into the system in a few months, esp. with the economy faltering. Just the needed production engineering work alone is staggering, much less actually getting all the facilities and equipment built. Worse is the hit on the financial side, and I think that even though President Trump is trying to stay positive to not have EVERYBODY freak out, until at least some buffering measures can be in place, I expect the financial aspects of this situation to get considerably worse. I also think the health care people are telling him that in too many areas, some critical, like NYC, there is NOT yet sufficient slowing of COVID-19 to prevent overwhelming of the areas’ health care systems. That would result in a much increased fatality rate, the insurance industry (and all those derivatives) crashes, and then we have even bigger problems.

I sure hope I am wrong. Bad on the one side, worse on the other, and an exceedingly slippery path forward. To think that on New Years Eve, the future looked pretty good...
