Rich, famous, royal, powerful — it doesn’t matter, all socioeconomic strata are coming down with covid-19

As the coronavirus outbreak enters the BOOM! phase in a fast-increasing number of countries across the globe, world leaders are scrambling to implement tighter and tougher controls.

Sadly, most of these desperate official actions will be necessary but insufficient.

Finally some good news?

Several drugs show promise for treating covid-19.

With millions now living under home lockdown (or as it is more gently referred to, “mandatory shelter in place”) the serious reality of the coronavirus’ impact is sinking in.

Living within the confines of your home, squeezed in with family members, can be frustrating and stressful. Especially when you’re seeing your savings vaporize in the markets on a daily basis.

On top of that, many households aren’t receiving income while under lockdown. And many of those still with jobs are increasingly fearful that the longer this persists, the more likely their job will be lost in the coming mass layoffs.

The key to preserving your happiness and sanity during this undetermined period of house arrest will be maintaining your emotional resilience, as well as healthy relationships with those living under your roof.

Most of what we’re learning now abou covid-19 reinforces the conclusion that many, many people will become infected; the virus will be with us a long time; and the economic legacy will be massive and painful.

More and more US states & cities are banning public gatherings and forcing closure of non-essential businesses. Rumors of a coming national curfew circulated this morning.

Meanwhile, grocery and pharmacy shelves are being stripped bare . Even the slow-movers are now panicking.

A similar panic has gripped investors. The stock market is experiencing a historically vicious sell-off — after falling 24% by the end of last week, the Dow is down another 13%(!!) today.

Chris predicts that more national lockdowns — as we’ve seen so far in China, and now Italy, Spain, and a fast-increasing number of other countries — are likely to be announced soon.

These will be mandatory quarantines enforced by the police/military.

Looking at Ben Hunt’s “case, case, case, cluster, cluster…BOOM!” progression for covid-19, more and more countries are now entering the late cluster stage.

That means, expect Italy, Iran, South Korea, Japan, Spain, France, Germany, the US and a number of others to enter the “BOOM!” phase shortly.

That’s when hospitals become hopelessly overwhelmed, deaths begin skyrocketing, and government mass lockdowns get enacted.

We’re not saying this to scare you. We just want you emotionally prepared for what’s likely coming.
