A fragile global system in which during a pandemic, people are still fed and clothed? It's actually a testament to the modern economy that the pandemic hasn't resulted in immediate shortages for basic sundry goods. The few shortages we are seeing are for highly specialized medical equipment (N95 masks are not simple cloth covers).
I don't understand this mentality of pretending that our 'system' is somehow inferior to the past. Previous pandemics resulted in mass death not only from the disease but also from the economic fallout. We're really not seeing this right now. Perhaps we will in the future. But we can't write articles on what we want to happen to sell more news.
