Is ~20 million out of work people in the US alone not realistic? That's already happened, so you might want to become concerned.

Are widespread food shortages in six months realistic? I guess we'll see.




20m out of work is awful and can be dealt with without causing a public health crisis. Keynes won; we understand how to deal with this.

Food shortages don't appear to be realistic and hinge on assumptions that don't seem to hold water.


Just a few months into this thing, infections still accelerating, and food supply chains are showing signs of widespread stress and deterioration. Everything from harvest to logistics to stocking shelves is being fretted over by the people in charge of them.

I could be wrong, but I'm going to guess you have no idea what you're talking about on this particular topic.
