Talk about income inequality.... when the only people with money are people who already had lots of money (and lose a few million in investments, big deal, they'll live)... absolutely horrific.
If shutdowns continue for many months, that's what we will eventually end up with.... rich people will survive but with less money than before. Lower middle class will be devastated, Middle class will become lower-middle.

But at least the skies will be clear and less polluted.

I am already seeing loads of comments on social media on how nice the skies look now in China, Europe and so on and how this should become the new normal.
