This debate is harder than usual because nobody knows what is happening right now, therefore nobody can claim to know why. How many people are suffering, and what of? What is the supply chain about to do? What are the long term effects? Nobody knows. We're in uncharted territory. Problems can't be solved if nobody knows what they are and why they are happening.

The policies that are implemented in this environment will not be thought out. Until this crisis ends it will be an ugly free-for-all to find out who has political power at the moment and can implement all their long-standing agendas with no special regard for current circumstances apart from some extraordinarily big handouts.
