Ray and Tim speculate on how long the pandemic disruption will last, contrast America's sentimental vigil culture with China simply moving on from disasters, and compare the isolating loneliness of COVID to the communal grief of 9/11 before wrapping the call.
- Tim predicts six months of disruption rather than two to three months.
- China gets back on track by torching cities and moving forward without sentiment.
- The US will have vigils and turn coronavirus into a musical, unlike China's pragmatic approach.
- Tim argues 911 had more human compassion; now people become enemies when someone coughs.
- Post-9/11 vigils brought people together; lockdowns eliminate that connection and push people online.
- Tim claims a large portion of the country will become schizophrenic in the next 90 days from isolation and internet dependency.
