I predict that most of what is going on right now will soon be forgotten.

I think this will be remembered for a long time
a lot of lives lost
loved ones
friends
the fear

Most of the people dying from covid-19 would have died anyway.

You are right of course, so many people will feel that way.

history will not be kind to trump
he has so much blood on his hands
calling the virus a democrat hoax
saying it was just like the flu
constant lying while the virus spread
still lying

@lemondrop I think it will be the politics that will be quickly forgotten like @Torunn suggested. I think the grief and the memory of the emotional journey will be with us for many years as you point out, but remembering the detail of the politics and learning from that as opposed to just falling back to fixed positions who knows?!?

Yes, even young lives have been taken which people for some reason keep avoiding saying. It gets people all ages.

I predict that many businesses will never be reopened either because the owner died or because he went broke while it was closed.

It'll be a whole new economic era with big biz and individuals looking to dig out of a huge financial hole.
