I do agree that we have to be careful not to go too far with our reaction.  A collapsed economy can cause way more deaths and hardships than this virus.  We also have to be careful not to make too many of these changes permanent.  There are many politicians who are eager to use this crisis to push forward their authoritarian agendas.  That's the downside of too much solidarity.

We did have precursors of the 4T, like the Oklahoma City bombing (1995) and the Columbine shooting (1999).
