I see two scenarios and both are bad. 1) The poor and middle class are at the end of their resources, with no help in sight, and we will see massive poverty, homelessness, and starvation and new shanty towns popping up and long food lines, and so an inability to purchase goods, which will send businesses on the cusp into bankruptcy en masse. 2) We get a second round of infection, as bad or worse than the first, and we are exhausted financially and emotionally and that will send us into a real depression. I read today that something like 50% of Hispanics and 42% of African Americans do not have enough food. And something like a 1/3 of the people cannot pay rent. And congress just went on a month long recess and Trump and the pubs do not want to do anything. I do not think we are out of the woods and I still see a depression and great suffering on the horizon. I hope I am wrong.
