Did we have it or just a cold/flu like we all thought? Who can say ... The timing turns out to be about right.
That is why I am interested to be tested....I been in isolation working from home since Mar 18, so if I tested positive then it means I got it back in Dec when I was sick.
i understand, if you give blood to the american red cross, they automatically test your blood for the antibodies.
My wife went to doctor for something totally unrelated and was automatically tested for Covid (negative). SHe never gets sick though.
I feel like I get a bout with flu every year so wouldnt' surprise me if I test positive.
something as vast and intertwined as the national economy
2007 may have been bad but it wasn't a disaster of great depression proportions.
According to the graphs I posted in the last page comparing May to September cases are higher, hospitalization are the same and deaths are half what they were in May. Then you have that dip in the middle when the lockdowns happened in many places.
All I can say is that that was the idea of the lockdowns. Instead of those things happening in June and July they are happening later. Mileage may vary from state to state and that is why each state did their own thing.
Of course, my point wasn't about "draconian" measures or whether they were needed or not. All I said was that "they destroyed the economy" might be an exaggeration.
Did it actually collapse?

The article said the bank panics caused bank runs. That wasn't a bank run.
