I mostly agree, but:

> A virus with a 0.2% fatality rate was enough to bring the worst recession in recent history, millions of dead, and hospitals to the brink of collapse.

The worst recession in recent history? I regard 2008 as recent, and as a recession, this is definitely not worse than that was.

The writing is on the wall. We just have to wait a few months for the shockwave to reach us. A lot of small businesses that closed due to lockdowns won't open again, especially in the entertainment industry.
