A Short Note on the Pandemic #5
On March 16, 2020, the President finally admitted his administration does not have the coronavirus pandemic under control.
Moments later, the stock market dropped so fast that it closed down 2,997 points. This drop was the most significant in the market since the economic crisis of 2008. There is no question we are now in a bear market.
Also, White House experts announced that some form of personal restrictions would have to remain in place at least through July.
