Begin the conversation for programs for those that won't be able to get back in their jobs prior to the pandemic to address the above in the future.

The financial destruction caused by this virus is going to echo longer than the health crisis for the country and the world as a whole.

For better or for worse, there are most likely going to be very serious discussions about he policy directions we as a country want to go in. And what we expect from our elected leaders who are supposed to represent all of our interests are.

I predict at least two topics that will come up, better access to affordable health care and ubi, (universal basic income, which if done correctly appeals to my libertarian streak).

Negative, Italy had already proven how bad this really can be, and our mortality rate as well, remember, even if the numbers of survivors goes up, so do the deaths, our accuracy of tracking this virus is similar to seasonal flu stats, we miss shitloads of those cases too, but the sampling gives a decent estimate.

Don’t forget it’s not just about deaths either, it’s about possible permanent health complications for the recovered as well.
