The current coronavirus situation is one of “you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t”. The choice is between saving people’s lives by quarantining them or protecting their livelihood by allowing them to continue working in the workplace. It is the perfect storm for the destructive forces of the emotional plague to take its toll on human life. Economically, it destroys people’s work function. Politically, it turns one group of the clueless public against another. Medically, it continues its destructiveness killing human life. Historically, it will continue unrecognized into the future because, despite people’s best efforts, no one will ever have known, remembered or learned from what had happened.

YES.
“no one will ever have known, remembered or learned from what had happened.”
Give it 10 years. Maybe the kids growing up in this time will remember. They’re all stuck at home right now with the crazies!
