it all depends, will this lockdown end soon after the election, if biden wins, many think it is done just to hurt the economy, because when it was booming Trump was going to get an easy win. The recovery will be quick soon as the lockdown ends because it is an artificial dampening of what was a good economy. There were people with good jobs. Will they get hired back quick, why not. The economy of 2008's crash never really recovered, I mean those good jobs never came back but the ecomoy did change and there were people with good jobs buying houses for sure up till around march 2020. I think this is one reason housing prices haven't gone down, the bankers and those in the know realize this is a temporary thing and there will be a boom soon where people buy those high priced houses so why lower the price now, just for a quick sell, why not wait. Restaurants, entertainment sector, musicians, bars etc, those have been hit bad. But they all mostly made low wages, besides the owners of those businesses. But the majority were min wage workers, and musicians never made a lot of money besides the top 1% that hit it big. Real good paying middle class jobs like docotrs, lawyers, nurses, engineers, construction workers, those have been still doing ok. And they are in for business to pick up soon I think. Now maybe I am wrong and this pandemic never ends and this is the new normal and the economy just keeps declining and we have a depression and never get out, I doubt it though. I have seen many booms and busts in my time altho none caused by a pandemic. What I don't like recently is Trump saying to Woodward, on tape, how the conornavirus is real and a big deal and hurts young people and he played it down despite being real. That has me worried but I know Trump is actually in on this with the elites and just plays the 2 minute hate role.
