At work (hardware store) we had over 1700 people in one day. That was last Saturday. In NY the place that’s the worst and has the huge lockdown.
People can piss and moan all they want but that’s the literal facts right from the computer. They use the guise of “necessity” but really it’s just a cash grab.
So judging by what I saw last Saturday and what we are expecting tomorrow... yes everything will go back to normal believe it or not.
People don’t easily change their ways.
This isn’t the Great Depression just yet.
People can remember nearly a decade of economy disparity and ruin. It changed everything about American life.
If this lasts less than a year, it won’t change much.
Hell H1N1 (swine flu) was what caused the Spanish flu pandemic and then it happened again. I had it. People didn’t learn much from it. It was horrible but until we have something that doesn’t go away and is significantly more lethal (Italy reported 99% of deaths are from those with preexisting conditions) (Mortality rates in the US are currently below .06% if you use the numbers available right now)
So basically America and most the world will forget about this given just a small amount of time. Just look at the past to understand the present.
