Returns to normal: Social versus economic reality

It’s important to differentiate between social and economic returns to normal. The media chatter overwhelmingly mentions “the vaccine” as the catalyst for the reinstatement of society. It is said the vaccine will provide peace of mind to wean away from social distancing – what will be told to the people without a job to go back to? What are the proposed solutions to this issue that we are bearing down on? $1200 only goes so far. If there is a ramp-up period when the economy turns back on, there will be a need for survival for the labor pool waiting in the wings – and that is IF a business can survive the new climate, as the jobless population won’t have the money to support the business that employs their neighbor.
