The most amazing miracle of Capitalism is that the greatest threat to our "way of life" is, at the same, the greatest commodity. If #coronavirus was a product, how much would you pay for quarantine? All we worked for (leisure) is now given for free.
This is a slower, brooding economy crisis that totally surpasses the direct one we& #39;re so afraid of. We& #39;ve been raised under the stimulus of working & paying for leisure. After being used to getting it for free & on endless supply now, what will be the motivating currency after?
The cure for the crisis can be sold for a great price. But the crisis itself is made inside out by our greatest treasure (leisure), even if it comes with a non-material price (disease or death). So we& #39;re paying for leisure with the risk of disease & death: the yuppie lifestyle.
Ultimately, #Covid_19 means to the 2020s what cocaine meant to the 1990s. The virus is, in many ways, like the mutation viruses that 80s & 90s movies obsessed over. It has mutated all of us into Patrick Bateman.
So if the market will offer us either a cure or vaccine, that would be valued because it cancels the price of risk that we& #39;re paying, but it would at the same time be devalued because we& #39;d have to pay for it the monetary value plus the sacrifice of our leisure (highest currency).
For that, the only conciliation that the market can offer to fulfill its goal & destiny (to generate the highest profit possible) would be something that cancelled the risk of sickness & death while allowing us to retain our leisure capital (the last one we& #39;d part with).
Concluding that we& #39;ve been looking in the wrong direction in two senses:
1) the crisis is bad for the economy
It doesn& #39;t, since it can allow for a much more profitable outcome by solving contradictions that were slowing down profit before.

2)the economy wants us to leave quarantine & go back to real life
As shown above, the only logical market convergence is to generate a way to keep us like this forever while erasing the devalue caused by risk. As far as market interest is concerned, quarantine should be forever.
