Just one month ago, everyone was screaming and sperging out about the lack of media coverage on the Wuhan Flu, like it was a major story that the mainstream media was completely ignoring, and that we were all going to die from it. To be fair, I also engaged in this rhetoric.
Now that the mainstream media is covering it constantly, the attitude has completely flipped, to the point where half of you think it is a hoax because you don't know anyone who has died from it.
The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle, but I feel like Poal has a very specific demographic that doesn't quite see how hard certain people will be hit by this.
Most of you are fairly well educated and/or technically skilled, rural, semi self-sufficient, and homosexual, from what I have gathered.
You don't neccesarily see the population segments that are going to be hit by this really hard.
Every single person I know in the restaurant/bar industry has been laid off.
About 3/4 of them did not pay rent this month. In PA, this will likely last until May, when I suspect ~95% will be unable, or unwilling, to pay rent.
They have no money. They don't claim cash tips, so their unemployment is a joke.
They cannot spend any money.
The restaurants themselves are no longer ordering from suppliers. They are not paying their landlords, their cleaning companies, or their beer distributors.
The ripple effect from this alone is going to be massive.
We are currently going through the boring part of a major crisis, But the doesn't mean it isn't serious!
Wait four or five weeks, and we will see shit really hit the fan.
