As the world reacts to the threat of a pandemic, markets crash, toilet paper sold out and Purell is counting cash.
What aren't we being told?
3000 people died in China in 3 months. That is the equivalent of 25 people in Canada because of the population differences.
12 people die every hour in Canada due to heart disease based on Health Canada data.
Based on facts, shouldn't we be more worried about Big Macs?
Or is there some other agenda?
Is the Coronavirus more scary? Are world governments protecting us from mass hysteria, similar to George Orwellian theory?
Or is it not a problem and other governments are shaking the American economy to its knees. An investor friend hypothesizes that the recent price reduction in gas has to do with Russia and Saudi Arabia flooding the market with excess oil as an attack on the US economy.
Could this be considered an act of War?
What's really going on?
Financial markets are crashing.
Money is being lost.
Governments are installing travel bans.
Professional sports are shutting their doors.
Did I mention Oil is cheap?
What about governments committing money to Coronavirus relief fund?
Canada is approaching 1 trillion in debt and is committing to a relief fund.
How are we paying for this?
Does this mean our taxes will have to go up when this hysteria ends?
Or does it mean our country is one step closer to bankruptcy?
And if we are closer to bankruptcy, what happens then?
I have so many questions.
But none of them have anything to do with Coronavirus.
Because that's not the issue.
It's bigger than that.
And only time will tell what is really going on.
Have fun.
Stay safe.
Drink a Corona.
Try not to worry. Coronavirus is not a zombie apocalypse.
That'll be the next thing we should be scared of.
