Coronavirus

The coronavirus or “COVID-19” has become known as impacted the entire world. This “COVID-19” is caused by a specific coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. It saw a surge among older people and those with immune deficiencies in late 2019 and through 2020. While global health was a huge concern, the health of global stock markets has been just as important.

Very few times has history seen something like this and COVID-19 has set itself apart from the rest. Thought to have started in Wuhan, China, the virus rapidly spread across the globe. It infected scores of people and killed many. Without an evident vaccine, global economies completely shut down in order to stall the spread of the virus.
