Read: It would theoretically be salvageable, but under Trump/the Republicans and Biden/the Dems, it won't be.
We had one shot to do it right like China did (Who have been pretty much actually back to normal for months now), but our government on both a federal and state level have just absolutely, royally fucked it all up. Mainly because they were/are too much of greedy, stingy, capitalist assholes to give people the aid they need so that their lives aren't completely destroyed.
After 8 months of annoying-ass variable on/off lockdowns (Instead of doing 1 sustained national lockdown at the beginning), the public will to continue has overall been destroyed, and it ain't comin' back.
Jesus, I'm sorry for your losses.
Exactly. Even if there was a vaccine tomorrow, we've not even begun to experience the height of this crisis. Mental health is in fact already going to shit for a ton of people, both due to the crisis itself and the (justified) lockdowns; a non-negligible proportion of covid survivors may also have long term effects even if they didn't die; and finally the economic depression that's coming will probably put the "Great" depression to shame.
