If millions of people in the US are out of work and businesses obviously reduce their output and some even close up, this would have an affect on all freight transportation modes.
I love the “Doom and Gloom” scenarios. No one knows. There’s no data to support any theories. You can speculate this or that, but doom and gloom sells copies of Newsweek, WSJ and whatever Network Cable you want to watch. It’s all about the spike in NYC and the possibility of some sort of treatment until a vaccine is developed.
