As of today:

  • Immediate term: Confirmed cases will show huge increases as widespread testing becomes available (finally). Don’t be surprised. It’s inevitable.
  • The mortality rate could actually go down. Why? The number of known cases will reach a more accurate number (see previous point). Then the mortality percentage calculation will be using a larger (more accurate) denominator – causing the percent will lower. For example, if you saw 3 deaths out of 100 known cases, but there are actually 200 who are infected, the real mortality rate would be 1.5%, not 3%. It’s math.
  • Although the symptoms overlap, COVID-19 is not just like the annual flu. Why? With this coronavirus, there are no immunities in the population due to its novel characteristics and the lack of a vaccine.
  • Our healthcare system will be overwhelmed. This is almost a certainty.
  • People that can’t afford to miss work due to lack of sick pay coverage will increase the spread of the disease. This is self-evident.
  • A serious illness that requires treatment and hospitalization is a huge problem if you can’t pay for it. This will delay some people from seeking treatment thus making their condition worse.
  • The U.S. economy will be under enormous strain. China’s economy has slowed, and we know they manufacture so many different products at such scale that the rest of the world’s economy will rapidly slow down. This is a likely a long-term problem that will last for years. Economically speaking, it could be worse than the aftermath of 9/11.
  • The world stock markets will continue to bleed value. Uncertainty is driving it down. Our political leaders are not helping.
