And few businesses can survive scant business for 2+ years. Similarly, many customers and businesses have already changed their habits permanently. And many jobs lost are not coming back with another jobless recovery - probably not all 30m or whatever - but a large enough chunk of those to matter.

I know I'm pretty worried that wording is accurate.

SI

My wife was reading an article this morning talking about that. It detailed one of those ax throwing places in a state that just reopened, I don't remember which. They had 2 customers over the weekend, People are fooling themselves if they think we are going back to anything resembling normalcy.
