> “Universal stay-at-home is the most devastating economic force in modern history" Pursuing perpetual economic growth, combined with externalizing costs where possible, on a finite planet beats its devastation by far. Among other things, that growth and externalizing costs led to factory farming and encroaching into wildlife territory that have caused pandemics to increase in recent decades. Not limiting that growth -- at least limiting the number of animals we pack together -- will create more pandemics. Limiting it won't solve everything but it will decrease a lot of problems, including pandemics.
