What I don’t quite understand is how people expect the economy to “just go back to normal”... like, even if you “reopen” everything, ease all restrictions, it’s not like people are goingback to living as usual.. they’re still going to keep by themselves, because that’s an individually sensible decision... are you going to attend a conference, a wedding, a dinner party / restaurant where you’ll be near 100+ people? Of course not, you’ll be making sure you stay healthy! The economic damage will happen and persist, and governments can’t just legislate against that!

- rumanator 6y agoIt saddens me that those who for some reasoning fall prey for this line of reasoning don't just hurt themselves in the process, and actively contribute to spread and worsen all problems to everyone they ever contact with.
