What if... we don't really defeat it? no, maybe that's too pessimistic... What's the worst case scenario in case we have to live with Covid-19 for a few more years?
- karlkatzke 6y agoThe worst case scenario is that 10-15% of our population that comes down with COVID-19 over the age of 40 has some sort of permanent organ damage. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/cardiology/articlepdf/2768916/jamacardiology_puntmann_2020_oi_200057.pdf https://jamanetwork.com/journals/cardiology/articlepdf/27689...
- eloff 6y agoLikely a serious recession or even an economic depression, judging from the economic knock on effect of lockdowns, whether involuntary or just people curtailing their spending and activities, that we have observed so far. 10-30% contractions in GDP in the second quarter, in dozens of countries. I won't touch the market with a stick because it's going in the opposite direction to the economy. There has to be a correction coming. I know there aren't good alternatives, interest rates are so low, etc. But I still think there's a correction coming, that's my two cents.
