which is just getting revved up. if perhaps only 150% on way to 800%. Which is the "virus isn't killing all that many" pivot away from virus fear mongering as "the virus is going to kill us all"... to fear mongering based on "our response to the virus is gong to kill us all" ? Or, it won't... The "this changes everything" crowd and "things will never be the same after this" crowd... share their own brand of fear mongering... that is rather like that of the economists... making bold predictions about things that have already happened... only after its obvious to everyone... The virus will pass... And then, things will go on more or less like they did before... which is not to say there aren't obvious challenges in the economy... or consequences to face in the aftermath based on choices made. But, there were already significant challenges in the economy...only those were challenges we'd acclimated to... and in the process had settled into shared ruts in our interactions with others. Now, these are new challenges... so the odds of errors is greater... just as some leaders went sideways badly in the early days of the "virus deniers" claiming "it's just the flu"... Now, we'll see a couple of them making similarly odd calls on economic tangents "that our lives depend on"... a few will call for revolution... a few will call for "stability" imposed by force... and most of us will continue to ignore most of them. That we're shifting gears now to talking about how screwed we all are because of the economy.... That's a good thing,...
