CBEI Extra!: The Coronavirus

CBEI Extra! The Coronavirus: Why the U.S. Economy Will Never be the Same The coronavirus has caused untold harm to the U.S. and world economies. In this special issue, our chief analyst Kevin Bahr describes the impact of the virus on the stock market, supply chains, the health care industry, and corporate debt levels. He also includes a detailed breakdown of the stimulus package and the likely implications of the virus for the federal deficit and national debt. His report calls for reforms of securities regulation of Congress. Kevin also gives tribute to the low wage employees of the service sector who continue to do so much for us in return for so little.

Please continue to follow Kevin’s blog page at http://bit.ly/uwspcbeiblog where he will post updates on the coronavirus as well as articles on other important business and economic topics. The health impacts of the coronavirus and the social distance responses to it have dramatically disrupted the ebb and flow of all our lives. The Center for Business and Economic Insight is no exception. The coronavirus forced us to cancel our May breakfast, for example. God willing, we will return in full force in the fall with our breakfast presentation and publication. In addition, we are looking to add a luncheon to the mix. It is too premature to announce specific times and locations. Please stay tuned!

Thank you for your support of the Center for Business and Economic Insight. Stay safe and healthy, friends!
