Given unlimited QE and huge rounds of fiscal stimulus, the financial markets in major developed countries with debts denominated in their own currency are unlikely to suffer for too long.
Once there is a glimmer of hope that Covid-19 will likely be contained or its effects significantly mitigated, the flood of funds seeking yield should start to pour into discounted assets and other investments with good risk-reward ratio.
Looking at Germany and South Korea, mitigation through concerted efforts should be possible within a year or less. Pessimistically, if containment and mitigation fail, the population will have herd immunity by 1.5-2 years.
