Mrs. Denmarkguy and I have often discussed how long this all might last, taking into account these seemingly "permanent measures" we see happening in various situations.

Maybe "this" won't last so long, but it seems highly likely that a new and different set of "this's" will come along in the future... and, regardless, the munted shitshow we're looking out at serves as ample evidence that the world (with the exception of certain SE Asian nations that already have been through something similar) has been very ill prepared to deal with "something like this."

Whether these new measures (like Amazon's) are little more than bolting the henhouse door after the fox has left remains to be seen...

Meanwhile... this is still Murica!
