I am not a scientist. I do watch events though, with an interest in how they will impact the course of things. It’s sort of a family thing—expecting a return to hard times. I told the people I cared for at the beginning of all this that normal is dead—granted, it was for the wrong reason. The hype that a novel virus was killing people in the streets did what it was intended to do. But bogus info or not, it became clear that the world we knew had been shot in the head—nothing for it now but to watch the lumbering giant collapse, making whatever preps we can. How others see it differently is beyond me. A Titanic moment it seems. The starboard bow is mortally holed but the deck seems level enough and the lights are still on.
