Many countries in the world have gone into crazy lock down situations and fared well as a result.
Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil?? arguably China if the figures can be believed.
Then there are other countries that did not fare so well, Italy, and significantly the US, and others.
So to play the worst case out. What if we don't have a pending vaccine.
Traditional allies of the US are not going to open the borders to the US with 100K plus deaths and Corona out of control.
Trump can create a lie as believable as he wants, the good folks of the US can fall for it if they choose politics over reality, but if the US is still a risk point, no way are other countries going to open the borders to them.
Trade has to continue, tourism too.
Trumps madness with his crazy response to Corona will force allegiances to non traditional allies.
Farmers, big business, tourists all need to get some resemblance of normality.
But no one will want to be around typhoid Mary.
And right now to the rest of the world, that is the US.
It might take years to get past this completely, if ever.
Trumps stupidity might be the catalyst that reshapes the worlds alliances.
