RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:FYIContext is important. The mortality rate for this virus is actually pretty low. US has already had 6,000 or more deaths as part of a normal flu season. If that doesn’t get out, people will see the (low) mortality from COVID as high-risk and worth a small panic attack. When the US numbers start climbing, so will the anxiety (and trade restrictions).

Supply chains have shut down, countries have closed borders, entire communities quarantined etc, really hurts economic growth. I think the economy will have another downturn once the US starts getting an increase in cases....then we should see a lot of stimulus poured into the markets/economy.
