I was all set to post it yesterday morning and then by yesterday evening I didn't. I follow Matt Stoller on Twitter and I generally like to hear what he has to say - but I think "COVID-19 COULD mark the end of affluence politics" is a safer bet. I just don't think we know how bad this could get. I mean, I have the flu right now (probably). It's maybe the 2nd or 3rd time I've had the flu this season - it's the worst, for sure. But I also drove up the PCH rather than fly to my wedding in 2009 because we were expecting borders to close and airline travel to stop because of swine flu. And Mexico dealt with it, and Mexicans in America probably dealt with it, but it was a nasty flu season anyway so we'll never truly know how much of that was flu flu and how much was swine flu. It didn't change politics in any event. I say all this only because you asked for "my take." Otherwise I woulda circledotted and moved on.
