The 5 Stages of Coronavirus Grief

We were in Denial for a quarter, now we are in the Anger at Trump and China stage. Some have somewhat entered the Bargaining stage, but it’ll be a while before we realize that 0% interest, temperature checks, PPP, WHO defunding, and other measures won’t solve everything.

Stock market is way up, so we haven’t gotten to the Depression stage but soon.

If you want to get ahead of the curve realize and embrace the Acceptance that Pandora’s box has been opened.

The world is different — just like 1918: space-time is now relativistic, quantum world splits multiverses, planes exist, world wars can slaughter millions, women can soon vote, the aristocracy is dead, Prohibition will last a decade.
