COVID-19 versus the 1918 Influenza Pandemic
#14
That makes a big difference. Government will have to subsidize firms which must shut down altogether such as airlines and pay people to stay at home. Maybe people in many white-collar office jobs will need to turn their homes and apartments into offices for a time. Others will have to collect unemployment.

It is impossible to lay blame for COVID-19. Viruses will evolve to take advantage of the behavior of the most successful possible hosts such as vermin, livestock, pets, and us.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
