Do you expect a once in a decade (and by some measurements, once in a lifetime) crash to happen twice in the same year, or several years from now? I don't doubt there will be a second wave - the US is by most accounts still mired in the first wave, but I suspect most people probably missed the boat on the "bottoming out" event. Stranger stuff has happened though. Interesting take.
H1N1 in 2009-10 is best estimated to have killed somewhere from 200k to over half a million people - without the widespread global mitigation measures we are witnessing today. So, hard to say now if it will be a death toll that hasn't been seen in a lifetime.
Would have to agree there. The salaries in Toronto are far, far lower than a comparable on the US West Coast. If you can get a public sector job at a university though, you might be laughing. Although, public sector jobs will suck the creativity right out of your veins like a vampire..
