Understanding the Impact of Coronavirus on the Economy

Thank you for sharing!

The current headlines are filled with hour by hour updates on coronavirus: how far it has spread, every new case reported in the United States, and the massive stock market sell-off last week. There are lots of resources out there for what this new virus is and how you can prevent it, as well as how to prepare and protect your family from it. But many of my followers wanted to better understand about coronavirus and the economy and why this threat of global pandemic has caused such a market sell-off. So this week’s post is in response to all those questions, including when we think it will all recover and what you should do in the interim.

    Thank you for this review! I’ve been wanting this! The margin in the example business you point out is really good – I wish I could have a margin so good! – smaller businesses with lower margins (under 10% for retail for example) may have more catastrophic impacts sooner.

      Very true – I just made up some numbers as an example. The smaller your margin, the higher your fixed costs, the higher your debt levels and the less savings you have to weather through this disruption, the more trouble your business will be in.
