As someone with a 7 digit business line of credit, this makes me happy.

As someone wondering what this says about the larger economy, not so much.

Short term loans, I think long term are, as of now, being left alone.

This would not help me at all, so it is indeed the most likely scenario.

Shouldn't that read 1/4 % ?, just to keep it simple.
Using decimal along with percentage just sent my wife into a migraine.

I told my wife and she has gone into a state of depression.

She has been complaining for weeks about how many loans she has sitting on her desk.

Wife and I have discussed the idea that we are headed for a financial reset. Anyone else think this could come about due to this 'crisis?"

I would tell your wife not to fret because all of the recorders offices across the country will be shut down for 2 weeks starting on Wednesday. Also expect lenders/banks to increase their interest rates to subside demand in order to slow things down for them.
