That we would be willing as a society to basically shutdown the economy in order to mitigate loss of life (even if just for a certain demographic) is the indicator.
It's an indicator of our being in the fourth turning, if there were any doubt. It's an indicator that we're ready for a regeneracy.
Historically, though, it requires 5-10 years of war - Civil War, WWII, Chinese Civil War - to cement the regeneracy. I don't see how Covid-19 can be drawn out that long.
Coronavirus says "hold my beer..."
Seriously, Covid-19 + economic fallout could drag on for well over a year. I do think it will have everything to do with political responses.
