Janet Yellen says the coronavirus could throw the U.S. economy into recession, depending on how widely it spreads


Bloomberg


Since Sunday there has a been a coordinated media effort from Wash Post, NY Times, Bloomberg, cbs, abc, msnbc, nbc along with all of their correspondents to keep the coronavirus at the forefront of the news in order to pile on fear to continue to tank the stock market.

Add in the CBC lemming and Rosensteins wife who’s paranoia of the virus was regurgitated in the news.

Coronavirus wasn’t even a top 10 news story world wide for the last 1.5 months after it broke for a while.
But now that the market is dipping it’s very easy to pile on.

The Yellowstone volcano could trash the economy as well.

There’s nothing inaccurate here. The objective is to slow the spread - not stop it - thus ensuring medical services do not get overwhelmed.

The way you do that is working from home. Remote school. Less social interaction.

That will definitely impact the economy. And that’s not counting lost production from ill workers.

Ebola was going to kill us all. Swine flu was going to kill us all. SARS was going to kill us all. Zika was going to kill us all. The media may as well be professional fearmongers. And the government will use any crisis to steal what little freedoms they haven't already stolen. The coronavirus will be out of the news when they come up with a new impeachment strategy, which will be in a week or so.

So that’s what’s gonna do it in March.

I wonder what’s gonna cause a recession in April? You know, when this latest thing fizzles out? I know that two-day recession last year nearly broke me.

The markets are responding to the media not the level of outbreak. What is the difference between the last 1.5 months since Monday?

Maybe Trump shouldn’t complain so much about the effect on the economy.

So the media is responsible for China quarantining their entire country and forcing people to stay inside their homes for weeks? Really with the way countries are responding to this, I think the media is under reacting. There has been a lot of propaganda, and censorship surrounding this bug. It is funny how all the tin foil hatters on here put them away when there is actually a potential conspiracy and disaster but it just happens to contradict their political party's agenda.

Bernard Sanders is the unquestionable leader for nominee of the Democrat party

That is what changed

And I would expect it to drop 25,000 points if he was an actual shoe in

You know what happens to sparks when you fan them?

That’s right. The fire gets bigger.
