Tens of thousands of people were fired in my country just this week, across all industries.

While this periodic restructuring of the economy is probably healthy in the long term, I wish well to all individuals and families hurt by this crisis. Some people I know won't recover financially.

One consequence of this crisis, IMO, will be that people will focus on their fellow nationals for a while, and globalism will take a hit. When resources are scarce compared to the scale of the problem, you have to prioritize.
