Yeah, wsj says x million jobs lost, or some version of it, every f*ing day, as if the world is falling apart at the seams, and we are watching it in slow motion. People don't lose their expertise overnight, nor will all companies lose their market forever. This is a temporary pause, and not a real stop.

But it's not something to ignore, either.

For better or for worse (I think better) a lot of impulse, habitual consumerism just got wiped out of people's daily routines.

People are also likely to be a bit more careful with their funds in general

This will close a lot of businesses, and remove a lot of jobs, especially edge-jobs.
