Society was altered and life was different in countless ways from the way things were before December 7, 1941, and yet most Americans were on the same page, reading and acting from the same playbook, united in one common goal.
The way they have chosen to fight the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has certainly altered society in similar but arguably even broader ways than Americans experienced during the Second World War.
Today there are strands of unrest, of pushback that only promises to increase the longer things continue.
When people were falling over in Wuhan, Italy's weak hospital system was getting overwhelmed, and people thought the kill rate for this thing was up to five percent of those infected and that millions could die, few argued with the initial shutdown response, even if some quibbled on the specifics.
As things turned out, maybe it's a good thing I didn't have that extra cash.
Sure, the people affected by these government-enforced shutdowns should be made whole, but when legislators added an additional $600 per week to almost everyone's unemployment benefits, several senators warned that this could have dire consequences to getting things moving again.
How hard will recruiting be for everything from restaurants to manufacturing facilities when hundreds of thousands are on the couch 'till the end of July 'making' more than they ever would have actually working? As things begin to reopen, we're about to find out.
