I wonder if maybe one of the differences is this has always seemed "temporary"... Or at least that is how it has been portrayed. We're just in that period before we have a vaccine, and everything goes back to normal. When you think we're only a few months away, making huge investments like that doesn't seem to make sense.
But WW2 was an existential risk, if we didn't pull together the war will come over here and our country will be destroyed.
- BoorishBears 6y agoA global pandemic is an existential risk, if we didn't pull together the disease will take over here and our country will be destroyed. I live in New York, I can say for NYC took this seriously (eventually) and it still looks like someone Thanos-snapped half the economic activity in the city. Now imagine if the city had kept on its initial path by not taking the virus seriously and leaving hospitals so full they couldn't even handle the dead bodies anymore?
