Doom, Gloom and Chaos.

Woe betide us all. The end?

Or new beginning.

As Covid-19 is taking hold in many countries, others, like Singapore and China, are beginning to recover. As outlined in this infographic from Visual Capitalist, in China:

Daily life is slowly returning to normal.

Factories have re-opened, operating at 2/3 capacity.

Apple has reopened all mainland China stores.

Customers are warily returning to malls and restaurants.

The UN expects global economic losses of up to $2T. However, some analysts expect the downturn to be relatively short-lived.

While the timeline could vary widely, some analysts are forecasting a recovery as early as the third quarter of 2020. A variety of factors, such as government stimulus, consumer confidence, and the number of COVID-19 cases, will play into this timeline.

However it plays out, there will be a new tomorrow.
