Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 3479711, member: 37"] I used developing for a reason. To be clear if two weeks of isolation whether warranted or not results in the limitation of this disease from overwhelming our medical system and the disease rapidly ends, there will be very limited economic impacts. If this runs two months and our medical system gets over run during any part of that cycle the economic consequences can't be anything but severe. It would be hard for people not to see that. Given that we have no way of knowing the extent of the spread forecasting is limited. My opinion is that the slow federal response increased the odds of the latter outcome but does not guarantee that outcome. Our society will survive that worst case scenario. This is not the zombie apocalypse. I recently read "The Citizens of London" which revolves around three important American figures living in London during WWII. It's a great book and one I recommend highly. The people in London endured a lot worse situation than even the worse case scenario of this pandemic. It was for years not months. We most certainly will have medical and economic casualties and even on the low end it is horrible. But the book demonstrates that humanity has more resilience than we currently might think we have.
