The AoC was replaced because the states decided that more federal power was needed. The delegates from the states created the federal government, so it was their prerogative to refine it.
You’re right, the economy was and should have been a factor in the decisions surrounding the virus. I believe the tension there is where the great divide in public opinion lives.

You pack the Court by using legislative means.
Whether you are expanding the number of seats, or denying a Senate vote until you have a nomination from a President of your own party... really the same thing.
The AoC was not refined, it was scrapped. And the States were not happy at first, which is why we had the first thirteen proposed amendments to the new document - ten of which became ratified.
To this day, most people don't realize the depth of the ties.
NH is going to discuss leaving, but all that would do is start the run on the banks, the foreclosure of mortgages, and a whole host of items that no one too the time to work through.
The economy was always the decision surrounding the virus.
The outside players couldn't see it, because the businesses wanted it that way. But anyone on the inside could put all the pieces together and realize just how bad things had gotten... and how bad things still are.
