This pandemic will be taught in history for the next 500 years, this is a major moment in history.
For some reasons we forget about plagues. The Great Chicago Fire killed 300 people and is very important in Chicago history. A few years later, scarlet fever killed 15,000 people, and it is completely ignored.
How much space in the history books was the Spanish Influenza? Do you remember being taught about it at all in school?
This pandemic will change every part of our society, but will be forgotten itself. At least that is my prediction.
What will not be forgotten by economic historians is the time oil became worth NEGATIVE $40 a barrel. It will not be taught in high schools or anything, but every MBA graduate will know about it. Oil production will NEVER get the type of cheap capital it used to.
