Can you point to any comments that people with a semblance of understanding made back then in which they were able estimate the rough time window when things would come back down to earth?
- Eupraxias 4y agoFair point! However, I suspect many people have, as I have, been screaming silently for a few years that we will have to pay for all of this at some point soon. I expected what we are seeing, and I'd be amazed if most others on this site are surprised.
- zeroonetwothree 4y agoI don’t have proof so you probably will dismiss me but I was saying privately back in March 2020 that we’d go back to normal in 18-24 months. This is just based on historical pandemics so it’s not like you have to be some kind of genius.
- AYBABTME 4y agoIf you look the Spanish flu in particular, it eventually fade out after 2-3y, and people resumed life by a mix of adapting to the new reality and stopped caring, and the illness mutated to a less dangerous form. People (at least those I think sounded pragmatic) were talking about that back in Spring 2020. I don't know of a comment in 2020 that specifically say that, mainly because I don't keep a log and will not go search for it.
