> if everyone on earth just sat still for a couple of weeks, this thing would just vanish. Actually that in itself would cripple economies, despite being a really good idea (sitting still for a while I mean).

If we all sat still for a couple weeks, everyone would be better off, but the economy would tank. Better get back to work!
