It will be months before things go back. We are going to be driving very little, and when we finally get back to some normal driving, it will we with the stuff that’s already on the road. And when we finally get back to buying new stuff again, it’s going to be the stuff that’s already on the lot. By the time this really takes effect, we will be driving electric cars to save our air and lungs.

Some things will never go back, some things will be very slow. Millions of us are learning that much of the US shopping/running about culture was senseless bullshit that served little purpose. There are still social effects of the 1918 flu bouncing around, if the sociologists look for them.
