The Economy Won’t Go Back to ‘Normal’ Any Time Soon

Many conservatives seem to think that once we pass the peak of the pandemic, The Economy (Peace Be Upon It) will reopen and things will go back to “normal” so Trump can triumph. They fail to grasp that even once restrictions are lifted, a significant percentage of people will not go back to life as it was. Over-60s, in particular, will remain at higher risk of contracting serious cases of the virus and will behave accordingly.

Until there is a vaccine for this, I won’t be sitting in a movie theater or a restaurant or the crowd at a ballgame, and I think a lot of others will react the same way. In short, there’s going to be an economic contraction that continues for months after the pandemic ends — certainly through the election.

tl;dr: No economic rebound in time to save Trump’s fat ass.
