Well the stock market took another hit due to short sellers. Have said for years it should be outlawed. And as i recall it has been illegal several times in the past. What has happened they get their scare stories spread by the media for a disease that when all said and done will turn out to have caused a fraction of the deaths that occur each year in this country and around the world by the flu. Since this is a new virus the mortality rate may be skewed due to the fact that in most cases symptoms are mild and people didn't realize that they had covid-19 vs a cold or other mild respiratory illness. That said among confirmed cases depending on location and medical facilities its been .4 and 2.9%. All this media hype is just fueling panic in the general population.https://www.livescience.com/new-coronavirus-compare-with-flu.html
