Krugman - pro-lockdown, of course - has been calling the Coronavirus recession the economic equivalent of a medically induced coma.
Mika on MSNBC just now asked some economist when it would be appropriate to call it a depression.
Careful what you wish for.
We can blame Trump for completely botching and even sabotaging the national fight against the virus and for too plutocrat-friendly relief and stimulus packages.
But the GOP will hang a depression around the Democrats' necks like South African burning tires.
Just as the Coronavirus is the Chinese Virus this depression will not be the Coronavirus Depression.
It'll be the Lockdown Depression and then in less than a minute the Democrats' Depression.
