It's over. I work for a fortune 800 apparel company. We only have product to last till August. All our store fronts are closed. Stock has nearly halved.
Even if corona virus was no longer and issue In the US.. it's still a problem in China and supply chains are weak.

I have plenty of time to practice sucking my own dick. I figure, by the time this all blows over I'll be able to sustain myself indefinitely on my own fluids. The laws of thermodynamics fail before my perpetual motion.

Why are we shitting our own economy up so hard just to save a bunch of crusty old boomers who hoard wealth and are crushing the younger generations to death? Honestly we’d be better off if we had a nice cull

Because if we don't our healthcare systems will get so congested shit might actually fall apart

Then boomers and the unhealthy die and this passes with the economy intact. At the rate things are going now, we're heading for a stone age level of economic output and complete societal collapse. Of course, this is because the boomers this virus threatens are the ones who have the power to shut everything down over it. The day of the pillow approaches.

This is not at all guaranteed to work because it is a novel virus that has too many strains to deal with in that short of a time

the virus is already floating around. keep the economy going and focus on public health. test absolutely everyone, have people checked for a fever every time they enter a building. copy the taiwan method and you can keep your country running. the full shutdown doesn't work. look at italy. the united states WILL NOT come back from this. it's OVER.
