What will happen to people after COVID-19 passes?
How predatory do you think lenders, banks and businesses will be when this is over?
If mortgages and rents are deferred, that just means that people don’t have to pay them right now. They will still owe deferred costs when the time comes. It’s like one of those “no payments for 12 months” furniture scams through which interest accrues over those 12 months and then people get a bill for twice the cost of what they thought they were buying because they didn’t pay attention.
Are we going to see a lot of evictons?

Can't evict everybody. Especially the restaurants.

Negative GDP.
Deflation.
The Trump Depression.

Trump didn't fuck up the economy. What kind of a lunatic, can't see this would've happened no matter who was in charge.

r3, he played the numbers, prayed it would go away and delayed action for six weeks. He fired the Pandemic office. He wiped his ass with the Obama Pandemic playbook. He shifted the death curve.
Tell me it would have happened when Obama kept us safe from Ebola, Zika, Avian and Swine flu and H1N1.
You are an idiot, r3.

Trump added 1 Trillion to the national debt R3 long before the Pandemic. Tax cuts for the rich have to come out of somewhere. You cant just print money and not expect it to have an effect. Had he not done that, now we could have really used it for real Americans instead of a give away to cruse lines who don't even register their business in the US so they can avoid taxes.

May prediction is that after NYC calms down, a lot of Deplorable are going to die off. The ones who spent spring break in Florida, the church that was totally full of people there just yesterday, the ones that belied Dotard it was just a hoax.

Breath masks wont go away, they will be as common here as Japan.
It will no longer be a sigma to say you work from home or free-lance.
Only about half of the restaurants will open back up but delivery will continue will continue to boom with a new business model.
No more free hugs from strangers.
Being POS no longer refers to HIV.
Coachella is done permanently. (thank god)
Small house parties will become popular again.
Everyone will be 20lbs heavier but still afraid to go to the gym.
After 3 months of no hair cuts, people will embrace the look and long hair will become a thing again for guys. Women will embrace their gray.

Oh, please, R7. Gay men and straight instahos are losing their fucking minds about their bodies and they will be back in gyms at 4:30 am the day the ban is lifted.
I walked to the grocery store a few days ago and I saw dozens of muscle monkeys walking and jogging in their tights, many of them looking like their heads were going to explode from anxiety. I imagine that anxiety is due to them not having access to weights and machines and panicking that their perfectly built bodies will soften to—gasp—average status!
I was addicted to the gym in my 20s. I used to have a meltdown over the holidays when I was with my family and couldn’t work out at least every other day.

People will really embrace face time, Skype type of technology, not just young kids sending dick pics.
I could see checking into an Emergency room virtually before going there as a common practice for screening.

There will be a wave of foreclosures. Private equity is now involved in single family home rentals. It was a new business model for them after the subprime loan collapse and they've now become entrenched in the market. They are truly the bad actors in the rental business. The majority will still be ooposed to single payer health care, lobotomized by huge lobbying efforts and commercials scaring people about Socialists taking over "your" healthcare. The battle cry of "Move to Venezuela or Cuba is you want Socialism" will be Trumpeted by the usual suspects. People under 60 will be able to dust themselves off with inheritances from their deceased elders and scrape by as they have been since real wages stopped growing in the 70's. In other words, nothing will change.

Rents will go up as people lose their houses and need a place to live. That's exactly what happened during the 2008 rescission.

Well, a whole bunch of people will be dead, so that will have an impact on society and economics as well. Not just in the US, but all over the world. Probably more so in a lot of places.
