Assuming this will just be a recession is remarkably optimistic.

Our failure to stop this virus using the tools proven by other countries has doomed us to an avoidable, a very severe loss of life and an economic depression.
1 - Lack of Personal Responsibility
We took a long walk this morning - 60% of the pedestrians were not wearing masks and 100% of the runners (who pose a much greater threat to others because of their high volume and rate of expiration) were not wearing masks.
2 - Lack of Leadership
When was the last time you heard any local official (except Anna Eshoo!) speak out, speak loudly and speak clearly about what we all have to do to stop this virus?
3 - Lack of Strong, Clear, Consistent Messaging
Where are the TV ads, newspaper ads, banners and signs exhorting all of us to do what we need to do to stop this killer?
4 - Lack of Testing and Contact Tracing
California has the second largest number of cases in the US and ranks 14th in the rate of testing.
In many ways this virus is an IQ/EQ/economic status test and Darwin will prevail.
