(22,701 posts)As we approach 100% testing, we will have 80% of people quarantined. The remaining 20% will also be in isolation because they are caring for a person who is sick or have been in contact with a person who was infected so they are a potential carrier.
All utilities will come to a halt as all workers have to stay home for one reason or the other. People will eat through their food stocks but will not have anywhere to go to replenish as grocery stores close from lack of workers. Also since truckers too will be in isolation, the stores will essentially be empty.
Sometime in the future, alien explorers will find the earth and study it with great puzzlement. They will find an apparently intelligent race that had a complex infrastructure of public utilities and food production all locked themselves in their homes, over a relatively short time period and allowed themselves to starve to death.
Have a nice day
