We have someone similar to Shelly here in Northern Minnesota. I don't remember his name but he has a few bars up on the Iron Range and he reopened all of his establishments two weeks before he was given the green light to. He started a Go Fund me page and collected over $200k in donations to help him cover fines and legal fees.

My gut is telling me something bad is going to come out of this too. I think a global recession has been coming for quite some time. This recent printing/injection of cash by the Fed is like hitting the "turbo boost" button on the economy but it's going to crash very hard afterwards, it's only a matter of time. I think to myself, could the disproportionate reaction to this virus be a ploy to to shift blame on this "pandemic" instead of the fact world leaders and people in the financial sector have been making horrible decisions for decades?

I see a conflict coming with China, although it may be more of an economic war. The digital Yuan is well-positioned to overtake the USD as the preferred global reserve currency. The Chinese are also trying to gobble up oil fields in Texas right now at a discount. I'm not a huge fan of Fox but they're one of the only ones I've seen covering it (https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/texas-oil-rich-lands-chinese-takeover-weakened-crude-producers).

My take is, when there's something as huge as a pandemic going on and there are more questions than answers you'd better bet there are lots of other nefarious things happening behind the curtain.
