Tracing the ripple effects of coronavirus' economic impact

With many Americans stuck inside and millions out of work, few are spending as much money as they did before the coronavirus pandemic hit. Tony Dokoupil traces the ripple effects of the economic crisis for our series Financial Fallout. He speaks to one woman who has not been able to go to her favorite diner since losing her job, and the owner of that diner, who says her story along with many others' leads to a lack of cash flow that could potentially mean bankruptcy.

This piece shows how financially fragile many people were prior to the pandemic. Financial Fragility is real. It’s hard for people to be prepared.

Ask yourself: "What exactly matters throughout all of future eternity and to whom does it exactly and eternally matter to?" The current analysis indicates that life itself is ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Either at least one species survives beyond this Earth, solar system and galaxy, OR none do. And currently it looks as if none will.

Can you please report more on what other countries are doing and how some countries are NOT in complete lockdown exactly because they were much much better prepared with testing and tracing than here? The lady in the video said it's nobody's fault. That's just not true. It is directly caused by utter incompetence of both Chinese gov and the current trump administration.
