The one phrase the Heir has the utmost contempt for is The New Normal.  People are going to keep using it with the media (particularly visual), but the Heir would prefer a more realistic phrase such as Necessarily Evil Daily Routine.  There's a difference between normal and routine, and the explanation derives from old fashioned common sense.  Because the Heir sees nothing "normal" about not being able to get toilet paper, except online at an RV survivalist store.  He's pretty sure their RV paper won't cause problems here at the Swank Lounge, but he has to wait till Wednesday after this shares base share or so until it arrives.  Marco's grandmother has offered to share some of hers in case push comes to shove.  But the Heir also sees nothing normal about there not being NBA games to tune into on audio, specifically through the old school AM dial.  Maybe a week from now LeBron James and Spencer Dimwitty will post a one on one online they had for the fans craving the court and the magic movement of the ball.  That gets multiple rewinds to see how the ball got to where it got to go.  If anything it keeps those guys in shape in case the NBA picks up again a month from now or so.  Because if most people will all end up at home for a month, the last thing they want to get with on audio or online is the coronavirus.  People need to have a distraction, and the Heir expects most people to not be able to handle a prolonged national quarantine very well.  People will break curfews and not care if they end up in a cell, because at least they get to change their surroundings at home.  And are they going to tell people not to go to the park once the weather gets warmer?  Because once the coronavirus goes away, the Heir expects most people to end up with permanent cabin fever that no amount of outdoor activity can ever successfully treat.  He believes we'll keep paying for this thing for years to come.

"Most people will end up like that constantly distressed baby duck whose mother never came back to him in time.  Maybe that's why people found religion after 9/11."
