Corona Virus #7

That's a dumb headline. There will be an economic and future impact of the virus on a society no matter what approach they take or how good/bad their results. There is no way to escape an impact.

Yes they could have added Today at the end. Keep in mind headlines are not to impart useful info but to get the readers to read the first line of the body of the article.

Probably a better source of info on what Sweden is or isn't doing in relation to corona virus:

We didn't defeat The Axis with rubber gloves, paper masks and tape on floors.

The Axis didn't employ biological warfare IIRC.

At this point the economy is moot...economic news is just unnecessary clutter IMO...

Thanks for that link. Sweden is a horse of a different color leaving the decisions to the health care team instead to those that seek office.

Actually the Japanese did. Things were developed in their famous 731 lab.

Perhaps ...

OTOH, the economy represents the ongoing efforts to service and meet the necessities of life for Americans, and probably to a lesser extent, their wants (not actually needed, just desired) ... and it will be interesting to see HOW it transforms itself to do that.

There are several addresses in my general area where the GPS powers that be think lie at my doorstep for some reason or another.

Today a guy in a van shows up looking for one of them (happens fairly regularly)

Turns out he was trying to deliver a food order ... from a small local fresh fruit/vegetable/deli market ...

I doubt that service existed to any real extent 2 months ago ... but I suspect business may be booming now.

Yes the stock market level is based on emotionalism today. On 30 June 2020 we will see what the stock market is doing based on real data at that point. If it is no lower than today I would see that as positive.
