Will the Delta Variant Wreck the Recovery?

It may take a sustained pandemic assault to convince economic wizards that returning to business as usual is the only way to devastate a country in order to prove a theory of capitalism come vaxless hell or high flood water (and wildfires) is paramount over natural forces.
Pinheaded CEOs may dance legs and arms akimbo like robust angels gobbling fine wine and avocados at alumni clubs of Yale, Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Stanford, Chicago, even Kings College Columbia, but do they really want to slaughter their workers by insisting on forcing them into herds of infected cattle into the same old charnel cubicles, squalid subways, filthy food carts, disgusting sidewalk shacks?
Get out of your lion's den of ostensible supremacy, dimwitted Warbucks, this is not a rigged-game stadium of Skull and Bones, disease is beating your tough winner takes all strategy.
The vermin are coming to your white-topped tables on the paws serving your appetites, on your limo leather seats, in the air of your palaces.
What's that coughing merely 3 feet distant, the blood spattered napkin dropped over there by the banking titan rushed to the exit, the wailing sirens up and down 5th and Park Avenues and Wall Street?
Why are the suave diners suddenly stampeding toward the front and back doors as the emergency lights and bells herald danger everywhere for everyone?
No exit from Covid, no rest for the wicked.
