We need to shift from thinking about this pandemic as a crisis we’ll get through in months and start thinking of it as a factor that will be part of our reality for at least two years.

I’m not sure how we reconfigure our lives accordingly. No one is.

That’s part of the problem.

Well, no matter what happens if the economy isn’t opened up again in 2-3 months it won’t matter much. Most people will be starving in the streets. Then nothing politically will happen or be available to change. That’ll all be done.

This is the choice at hand. Fix that first or the rest is irrelevant.
