RE: Saturday Morning Musings

The survivalist part of my brain is telling me to begin stocking up on non-perishables and all of the stuff that was in short supply earlier this year. It's always best not to follow the herd in these types of cases and prepare before you need to. I think we’re in for a fall/winter like most people alive now have never experienced.

Gotta listen to that voice. I think that a not very good analogy is that we’ve already had our 1929 shock to the system, but not yet our 1933. And I’m not just referring to the economy. Normalcy bias still has its talons in us.

Yes Sir. Multiple bubbles have been expanding for more than a decade now. I don't think the world has seen anything quite like this one yet (maybe I'm wrong?). Watching the reactions to this virus have taught me a lot about human psychology. Most people don't feel the true gravity of a situation until it affects them directly or someone in their inner circle. My niece is a healthcare worker in Florida (and is pregnant) and just told us she's tested positive for COVID-19. As of now she's saying it just feels like the flu but we're praying she's not one of the people who develop the more serious symptoms.
