It’s surreal, watching our “leaders” debate how many deaths are acceptable and whether workers and children should be sent back into harm’s way. Only a few weeks ago, we all agreed upon the need to flatten the pandemic’s curve so we could prevent a surge from overwhelming our medical system. Now, the debate is about flattening the soaring jobless claims and preventing the country from falling into a depression.
I wish I knew the answer. I don’t. But, I’m fairly certain that if we emphasize the economy to the exclusion of medical issues, it would all be for nought – especially for the dead. As the country reopens and COVID-19 cases and deaths resume their rise, we’re all canaries in the coal mine.
Futures are off sharply this morning and appear likely to reach our next downside target either today or tomorrow.
