Contagiousness

What is Different: A complete halt in many sectors across countries is unprecedented. The COVID-19 pandemic crisis is in the real economy and present globally.

Economic Outlook

Stockpiling

Social distancing

Uncertainty about the future

Household and business financial constraints
