I see a pandemic threat that is steadily declining due to increased testing to draw mortality statistics from. A complete shutdown of the global economy is not necessary and could have more dire effects than that of this virus if it lasts too long. How long, I don't exactly know but seeing how hard it is to get the govt to cooperate on one single stimulus package I have little faith that we can weather a storm where 2 or more are needed.
