Yeah. The level of fucked we are people have not even begun to fathom. The best-case scenarios put forth by all of the thinktanks that do this kind of work is a bigger-than-the Great Depression economic collapse (80% of current value), 45-days to 3 months of lock-ins, 22 million COVID-19 tests a day (and re-testing every two weeks) and everyone that is tested is GPS tracked with their phone... or they get cut off from services.

"Normal" is over.
