The virus is spreading exponentially. Norway had a +300% increase in cases yesterday alone. Italy is in a 100% lock down. Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Ireland have all closed schools, universities, and many businesses. France, Spain, Germany and other EU countries are due to do the same before the end of next week.

National, private and corporate debt is through the roof. If there is several months of lockdown people will lose jobs, and a huge number of businesses will go bankrupt, combined with global lockdowns, oil shitting the bed, the lack of purchasing and production that will come from the Corona hysteria.
