It's an interesting take on what is about to happen (and I agree that life isn't so bad without the consumerism, but isn't a sustainable utopia either - people will start killing each other as opposed to marvel at the clear blue sky if starving). The reality is that the US is going to try to re-open and now science is the only thing that matters. There's a lot of data out there (with more coming) and smart people with powerful technology in a race to stop this twin attack of viral spread and economic collapse... I'm excited that missives like this are being published and see this new light being shed on our existence as a silver lining, but what ever happened to humble writing that didn't try to capture the whole world in one opinion piece.
Ultimately, no, we are not all going to be subject to a Men In Black amnesia blast. The internet has archives and people have memories. Whatever life is like on the other side of this, it will not go back to 2019.
