https://www.unz.com/ldinh/coronavirus-missives-from-spain-south-korea-malaysia-and-taiwan/ “Exiting an unprecedented era of excess and waste, we’re plunged into a much more constrained universe. Quite suddenly, life has become a nostalgia for living. Surely this can’t last, but don’t expect a recovery. With the global economic collapse just beginning, protests, riots and desperate fleeing will only intensify, and we’ll be lucky to escape war, for whatever that’s likely to erupt will be deceptively framed, as usual, and won’t solve any of the hoi polloi’s problems. Meanwhile, all is still relatively calm. As beaten down Americans wait for hours to receive emergency food, Nancy Pelosi Antoinette beamingly shows the world her stash of artisinal ice cream. With masks ubiquitous, smiles have mostly disappeared, but you can still hear laughters, if muffled. Wounded, the economy will lurch along in stops and starts, when not crawling on all fours. We’ll inhabit the afterimage of affluence.”

Am in complete agreement with Saggy's secular & poetic prophecy of peoples' destined to inhabit the "afterimage of affluence."
Thanks, Linh, for your having rescitated Saggy's words.
Hi Unknown,
She's actually quoting me! I wrote that passage... It's in the last Coronavirus Missives.

Here's a follow up. Ron Unz just emailed:
"My morning newspapers had recently mentioned Facebook’s plans to crack down on misinformation related to our ongoing Covid-19 epidemic, and probably like most other readers I just nodded my head. After all, many Americans might die if cranks or pranksters began promoting highly dubious cures to the deadly disease, perhaps even suggesting that people should inject themselves with Lysol to ward off an infection.
"However, those bland public statements took on an entirely different meaning yesterday afternoon when I discovered that all material from The Unz Review had suddenly been banned for alleged violations of “community standards” and our own Facebook page eliminated."
It looks to me like Ron has well and truly arrived.
