Interesting tidbit stuck out to me reading Simon Black's (aka Sovereign Man) newsletter:

"This is not a once in a lifetime event. This is not even a once in a century event.

A pandemic so fast and so global has only occurred a handful of times in all of human history. And in our modern age, it’s unprecedented.

It would be foolish to think that everything will go back exactly to the way things were before.

No chance.

Even something as virulent as the Black Death in the Middle Ages gave way to the Renaissance– one of the most productive periods in history.

It was because of the Black Death that the Feudal System (one of the most ridiculous economic models ever created) finally came to an end.

Personal freedom, prosperity, exploration, scientific discovery, private property rights, all boomed in the aftermath of the plague.

The world became better. Rapidly.

And when this is finally over, we’ll experience an unprecedented renaissance where talented, responsible people will flourish amid near-infinite opportunity.

We can’t even imagine yet how extraordinary it will be."

History repeats?
