I honestly think this is going to be a flash in the pan even when we look back on it. Already, Congress is getting ready to pass some bills that will assuredly offer huge financial assistance to industries effected by all of this, notable would be the transportation industry.
In addition, people tend to have a short time span and the fury and paranoia surrounding this is assuredly caused by the media needing a new story to profit from. Once something more interesting rolls around, less focus will be on it. Multiple companies have vaccine trials already underway and the stock market is climbing back up again. Ironically, we talk about all this doom and gloom and the three major airline stocks are all trading up double digits, so investors see them being able to ride this out. People and business's cant "not" travel for too long and will eventually get back to business as usual.
In regards to all of the major organizations closing events and such, simply the case of no one company wanting to be responsible for a local outbreak. I imagine this will ease in a couple of months as well. I am not saying it will be easy on us, but rather I dont see this as some "lost decade" event like after 9/11 and '08.
Awesome Information, by the Numbers
