The world already has it in the whitehouse! Or you could pick the many unemployed all across the world.

Some do call it superstition, but seems things do have a way of happening in 3's.

So after three bad things have happened everything else is good from then onwards then. That's quite encouraging really. Or does the next bad thing just get called number one again to save on learning to count?

I've seen many bad things happen in my life time as well as good things. and they all seem to run in 3's for some unknown reason. Of course more than 3 bad or good things can happen in a lifetime but always seem to be in 3's. Doesn't mean nothing bad or good will happen again.

So many People unemployed would cover that, of couse it is going to affect the economy.

Things are slowly starting to open up in my neck of the woods, distancing is enforced and they suggest people wear masks. From what I've seen most are following the rules which will help speed things up, but lots of testing has to be done yet.

If they're not happening is there still one of them or do they then vanish?

i aim to get as simple as possible
it's binary
the thing is either on
or off
it's one
or zero
you already know this

the original thought (superstition) of 'things happening in threes'
is a human perception/perspective
this stuff cannot be proven, or disproven
so many anecdotes, so many stories
but folks who mention this phenomena fail to ascribe a time frame to the "happenings"
is it one year?
is it five seconds?
is it just superstition?

you already have all the answers you will ever need

So what you are saying is there is a finite number of answers required, but how do I find out the number?

for every three there is a two
but for every two there is not a three
but it fills the spaces in your mind that allows the rattle

People tend to look for patterns in life and three is the smallest number needed to create a pattern. Bad things also happen in twos and fours, of course, but the relationships aren't always as noticeable.
