We'll cope.

But at least nobody will die of the vrius.

Instead it will be homelessness, alchohalstm, opioid addiction, suicide and a whole host of other unforeseen consequences.

But hey, MSM, keep schilling for China. That is what Americans want to hear right about now.

At the rate we’re going the price of a case of toilet paper is going to be more than the US GDP.

Be prepared for the economic fallout after the lockdown ends.

This is the mother of Black Swans.

Of course, counting losses in stock markets (value of public companies) and those companies’ losses is double counting.

Back when Trump was elected, I used to say that I honestly didn’t see us going more than ten years - and probably five, before a collapse much worse than teh 2008 one happened. But I never thought it would be caused by something like this. And we are consciously bringing it on.

It’s simply unbelievable. I feel like the lone lemming in the middle of a huge pack trying desperately to get out while the whole pack is pushing itself over the cliff.

All I can do is remind myself that life is a mist and this too will pass. But I’m old. I’m fairly close to the end anyway. It is the world of those under the age of 50 that I really feel for. Their world is about to be rocked in a way similar to how it was rocked for Europe beginning on September 1, 1939.

Like I have been saying... I dont think people realize how catastrophic this is. They seem to think we can just push pause for 2 months and then resume where we left off. That’s the mindset everyone seems to have.

This strikes me as a bunch of double multiple counting.

Just estimate the lost GDP and call it a job. Everything else is just a symptom.
