Yeah I agree. This wouldn't just be a simple sequel to covid, it'd be something far more dangerous.
Imagine an economy already leveled by the AI bubble popping, then imagine one where people are literally too afraid to go to work because there's a 50/50 chance of them and their whole family getting sick and dying. It would be a modern Plague of Justinian.
