    Workers walking off the job, fed up with the lack of safety protocols at work.

    Nobody wants to risk death to work a job that was previously very safe.

    Backlogs and production shortages make products and service in short supply.

    Demand continues, so we have demand greater than supply.

    Demand greater than supply = prices rising.

    Americans own houses in Japan too.

    The whole scare ended up being a Nothing-Burger like the RWNJs keep fear-mongering 40 years later.

    Trump was so worried about COVID affecting the market that he ignored it for many crucial weeks at the very beginning.

    This actually made the problem far worse.

    That was valuable time we can never get back.

    It has translated directly into lives lost and the virus spreading to more people than it would have if we had taken immediate preventative action.
