As a scientist by training, I know not all similar "effects" (observations) can be attributed to the same (or similar) causes and those "effects" might actually be cosmetic and temporary rather than systemic and entrenched.

I.e., the variables here are uncommon and not easily reproducible.

I really think that this period we are going through is going to be studied long and hard because of the unique circumstances.
