@torunn saidWell that would depend on "most" this kind of disruption will be on memory.
I predict that most of what is going on right now will soon be forgotten.
How things will be judged in retrospect will be a different story.
@the-gravedigger saidIn the way that we all do (I predict no active poster in the forum is around in 100 years time) or that only dying people (imminent death in the next few eeks) succumb?
Most of the people dying from covid-19 would have died anyway.
@ponderable saidI don't like what I said there - 'will soon be forgotten'. I think I meant that as soon as it is possible, we will try to find ways so that life can go on and we will look forward again.

@wolfgang59 saidWould you include yourself in this?

@the-gravedigger saidYou predict sanity from China?
I predict people will stop eating raw or under cooked bats.
Bat restaurants and wholesalers will require government bail outs.
@the-gravedigger saidAll of them, I believe... eventually. But that's not the point, is it?
Most of the people dying from covid-19 would have died anyway.
@earl-of-trumps saidOh, big business won't be digging. Big business is already making sure they'll be on top of the hole.
I predict that many businesses will never be reopened either because the owner died or because he went broke while it was closed.
It'll be a whole new economic era with big biz and individuals looking to dig out of a huge financial hole.
Everybody will remember the granny who died because she wouldn't stay at home. Nobody will remember the shopkeeper who committed suicide because too many of his young customers did stay at home so he couldn't feed his family any more.
@caissad4 saidThey've done that for decades, and been fine with it. Never heard the blunder "We're not a democracy, we're a republic"?
I predict that , here in America , people will come to realize that our democratic form of government is dead .
