And this is the elephant in the room.

While there is understandable focus on the health aspects (I’m a 75-yo smoker, so clearly vulnerable) the Economic aspects world-wide are incomprehensible. Think of small businesses, forced to close. Think of tourism-dependent economies in nice sunny countries (or indeed cold ones).
