Has the population figured out how serious the crash is yet?

[EE_]

The flu was only the catalyst to the real pandemic, the engineered economic collapse.
They have the population so freaked out that many jobs won't be returning anytime soon:

No baseball season this year
There may not be any sporting events for the next year, or longer, at least not with fans
No more going to the movie theaters for the foreseeable future
No more Disneyland, amusement parks, fairs, this summer
No concerts
Restaurants won't be as busy as they used to be, when they open back up
Cruise ship business may collapse
Air travel may be much less then before
Gun shows, Coin shows Trade shows may be scaled back
Less jobs, less new cars being bought
No more election rallies this year

Can you guys think of any other venues, businesses, or events to add to this list, the economic pandemic will affect,?

Any opinions...
What about real estate?
What about the stock market?
What about the oil industry?
Will the banks survive this?
What about casinos?
Are we heading into another great depression?

The only thing that can change this scenario is a vaccine and doctors telling people they are 100% protected.
Once they produce it (they may already have it), everyone will be forced to take it.

These are all good points and questions.

A good thread to get back to with sudden epiphanies and astute observations.

It looks pretty fucking grim, doesn't it?
I added a couple...

I think even the "essential" businesses, (i.e. automotive repair shops) are going to suffer as most other non-gov entities, because they still have to get paid for their work. Who will be in a position to pay from the "private sector"?

Looking at the fact that the public won't have the usual entertainment distractions, like sports... hell, this might lead to an unexpected improvement in the general public state of mind. If people are forced to sit home and ponder the real meanings of life and survival, instead of having the option of self-induced brain death, maybe folks will grow up a bit.

Or maybe I'm just a wishful thinker.

Well, yeah. Sort of. But then, see my other post.

Which post?

There are bright spots to be found too, like you said people may improve their lives and realize what is most important to them, but that doesn't sound very stock market positive.

I expect beer, alcohol and drugs will be very popular.

I appreciate the fact you made a distinction between "beer" and "alcohol".

Check UToob for videos related to "stay at home 2020" or something to that effect, and you'll see a lot of folks are very much imbibing, recording, and uploading. Some goofy stuff to be seen, for sure. People are already starting to lose it.

Yes, there is a difference, I know that! :P

People are losing it and it may get dangerous soon. I tell neighbors, family and friends to watch their asses and stay alert.
I'm not letting it stress me out. I'm just concerned and not about the flu.

I'm just glad I'm not so near a big city anymore. Plenty of assholes where I live, but not so much the seasoned urban type, if you know what I mean.
