Possibly. They seem genuinely surprised that reopening the economy wasn't just a matter of an "on" switch. I guess the question is what the tipping point is, or if things are set for a massive disaster to wipe away several world powers. Based on their behavior now, I don't think that China, Russia, the US or Brazil are capable of a concentrated effort and the collapse of any one of these would cause considerable problems.
