Yes, but the economic contraction is being caused not so much by the virus, but the panic and government overreaction. If people and organizations didn't panic, went on with their normal lives, and the government didn't shut everything down, likely causing an unnecessary artificial depression, we'd recover much more quickly.
I think it's a bit early to make that judgment call. It's possible that it's overreach, but it's sort of difficult to tell when there's still quite a bit that's unknown at the moment. I'm sure there will be more than just a bit of economic modeling on whether it was overreach, or, uh, underreach and to what extent.
To the moderators. Everything in the city has something to do with the virus so does that mean everything will be funneled to this thread for the time being ? I just wanted to start a thread about what people are doing at home, what TV shows etc. Would that type of thread be removed and placed here ?

You won't graduate summa *** laude with that kind of thinking, but Coney Island U does have some nice stuffed animals for hitting the same target twice.

No, it will be on a case by case basis. If there is a specific topic separate from the corona aspect, I’ll leave it. See the St. Patrick’s Day parties thread for an example. If corona is the main topic, it will be merged.
FYI (for all), this issue was discussed in the moderator section and some mods are not allowing it at all in local forums, taking the view that ALL corona discussion belongs in the current events section. We’re being told to manage as we see fit and I believe this is the best way for us.
Meh, little difference for San Francisco--it's a pretty sleepy little town anyhow.
