I’ll give it 6 months tops, then people will forget all about the Chinese flu once the bans are lifted. Do you really think baseball stadiums and arenas will be 1/3 empty? Restaurants can’t survive on 1/2 empty seating. The profit margins are too small. Disney and Vegas will go bankrupt. The government is addicted to taxes. Having a country with half the population unemployed means they will be coming for the employed’s money.
There will be two types of people in this dystopian scenario. The welfare and the heavily taxed. And eventually the economy will just move underground like it did in Greece. Maybe I’m wrong but I just don’t see any of that happening. I also don’t know anyone in my age group or younger worried about the Chinese flu. People just want their lives back.
Some businesses are screwed because people won’t have the spending money for some of those hobbies/interests. I’m waiting for the grocery prices to fall; I’ve never spent so much in supermarkets (and our panic buying/long lines are gone).
‘I also don’t know anyone in my age group or younger worried about the Chinese flu’
you are sadly mistaken if you think young adults, especially females, are not afraid of this virus...
