Our leaders, both business and government, find themselves entrapped in thinking about economics in terms of money. Soon we will be thinking about it in terms of productivity: how do we make sure enough food is made and distributed? How do we make sure we have enough medical supplies? We got away without thinking about productive capacity, instead focusing on money.

We will lose more people to this disease than any war since WW2, based on the statistics presented by people I trust. If we don't learn about wartime economics and fast, then the number will be higher than it needs to be.

Unfortunately, like I said, the people in charge are trapped in a box, believing that the systems that awarded them with great wealth must be the best possible system. The side-effect of this will be more death than necessary.
