Let's not get carried away here.

I'm not getting carried away. We can't buy our way out of this and the debt has already extended far further than it can go, not that most nations had money lying around anyway. The Global economy is gone with near certainty, some the nations, like America are doing exactly what Venezuela did and buying themselves into hyper inflation and diaster. You go the other end and do nothing we all die sooner but with a bang. Poorer nations are going to be put in this scenario with no other option and little to no help becuase the rest of the world is dealing with their own countries, not in enough time anyway. There isn't many ways to navigate this besides giving up all freedom to a complete global world government as soon as possible and even then, what, we pool everything together and live with socalism on a level greater than China for the rest of our lives. Most likely we return to soverign nations with no financial reason for any one of them not to go to war but all the reasons in the world to do so. The famines? They are a certainty unless by some miracle Covid decides not to touch the third world and completely avoid taking out workers who grow and produce food. Thier countries, our countries, all countries. Unless you have land, stuff to produce on that land, a gun, strong and willing people around you and well away from cities, you're life is going to get extremly harsh relatively fast. The nect decade is going to be torture and we all know it, some just keep their head in the sand and stringing onto hope. 

I thought you stopped instantly going into doom mode whenever you see a bad headline.

Just enjoy your time at home and have some nice hot tea. Because you know what's the number 1 thing that will bring down any economy? Doomsday theories. They cause people to hoard money, which will exponentially accelerate economic collapse.
