This is the Pandemic.News update for February 24th.
Monday, the markets really took a nosedive today, down about a thousand points.
I don't know exactly where it ended up, but it's widely believed that this is some reaction to the coronavirus pandemic.
But I want you to understand that this is really just the perception of a possible problem in the future.
Investors have not yet seen the real effects of a supply chain Armageddon.
That's coming.
So if just the psychological realization that there might be a problem can cause the market to plummet a thousand points, then imagine what happens when you have the wave of bankruptcies of Chinese manufacturers.
Imagine what happens when the supply chain craters for many U.S. manufacturers who rely on components from China or Korea or Japan or other similar places.
Imagine what's going to happen to this market when the overbought bubble collides with the supply chain Armageddon of the coronavirus that has shut down manufacturing in China.
It's going to be catastrophic.
Now, of course, President Trump is out there saying this looks like a great time to buy.
You know, when you're the president, you can't really say anything other than positive comments about the market because Trump inherited a bubble.
It was a bubble thanks to Obama's eight years of bubble buoyancy.
And now Trump has inherited the bubble.
Making him the bubble boy.
You can't say.
If you're the president, you can't say, yeah, we're in a bubble.
Everybody sell until we get back to sanity.
Because if you do that, you'll crash the whole system.
That's how far gone this is.
So you almost can't blame Trump.
He's just up there saying everybody keep buying.
Well, what else is he supposed to say?
That the markets are insane?
That the P.E. ratios are out of the entire realm of rationality?
What's he supposed to say?
Yeah, the supply chain disruptions are coming and a lot of U.S. companies won't be able to even make products to sell or import products to sell or even replace their computers because of the semiconductor collapse.
No, Trump's not going to say any of that.
And no president would.
So you're not going to get that.
You and I know, and I think privately, Trump knows that the market is in insane territory and is going to suffer a major correction.
Now, I'm not your financial analyst, of course.
And you know I've been talking about how this market is overbought since 2008.
And one of the things I've always said is that we know this market will have a major correction, a major crash.
We just don't know when.
But we do know, and I've said this repeatedly, we do know that a black swan event, as they're called, could catalyze a sudden correction.
Back to sanity.
Now, the thing about black swan events is you don't know what they are in advance by definition.
That's what a black swan event means.
It's like, out of the blue, here's a black swan.
Here's something that's normally not expected.
Suddenly, here it is.
So you can't predict those types of events.
They're events like an asteroid hitting the Earth or a solar flare wiping out the power grid or a biological weapon accidentally getting released in China and spreading...
Around the world and infecting 50% of the global population, for example, that's a black swan event.
And you can't factor those in into your models or any kind of prediction.
And even the insurance industry can't factor those in.
You know, the insurance industry is easily hit hard and in some cases wiped out by natural disasters like hurricanes.
Imagine What's going to happen to the insurance industry when you, if you have, let's say, 200 million people dead across the planet, theoretically, let's hope it doesn't get there, but You've got scientists right now talking about 50%, even 70% of the world might become infected.
So, I mean, we can do the math together on this, right?
50% of 7.5 billion people.
So we'll say like 3.6, a little bit over 3.6 billion people get infected.
And out of 3.6 billion people, if 1% died, that would be what?
That would be 36 million people dead, right?
If 2% died, that would be 72 million people dead.
If 4% died, it'd be 144 million.
And so on.
And if 10% died, then obviously it's 360 million.
If I'm doing the math right, I think I am.
Yeah, 3.6 billion down to 360 million.
So whatever you think the death rate is on this, you can do the math.
Maybe you believe the WHO because you think the WHO is a highly credible, science-based, honest, ethical organization.
Yeah, the joke's on you, of course, if you believe that, but they say the death rate's only 2%.
So then you can figure, well, okay, 72 million people are going to die if this infects half the population, right?
That's even on the low side.
So I don't know what people are thinking who are denying all of this and saying, no, there won't be any economic impact.
The markets are going to be great by the dip.
They're not doing the math.
And the math on this is not that difficult.
You know what?
I'm going to put together a spreadsheet on this just to show the exponential growth in how this spreads and what the economic impact is going to be.
Because the factories of the world obviously have to have workers to function.
And when the workers are sent home because they're all infected, then the factories don't function, and then the parts don't get supplied, and then supply lines crater.
And then, well, you have businesses suffering massive bankruptcies.
And when this shutdown status goes on for very long, let's say 90 days, you get, by some estimates, 82, I've heard up to 85% of the businesses go bankrupt.
And never to be reborn again, you know?
So this thing, unless this is stopped now, unless next week we have a magical cure.
Oh, crystals from space.
It's space ice or whatever.
Yeah.
Aliens brought it to the WHO and it cures coronavirus.
Unless something like that happens, which would be, I guess, another double black swan or something.
Unless that happens, then this thing is going to wreck its way across the global economy.
And with it, we're going to lose the efficiencies that you have, price efficiencies and production efficiencies that are present in a just-in-time global delivery system.
Without those efficiencies, things become less available and a lot more expensive.
So you are about to experience a world where all the things that you usually buy dirt cheap at Walmart are going to be double or triple the price.
Everything.
Everything that is made is going to be double or triple the price.
And it's not just monetary inflation because of the fiat currency and all the money pumping, although that's a factor.
It's also because we are losing the efficiencies Of low-cost, dirt-cheap Chinese near-slave labor factories that have no environmental regulations and all that.
If you make things in America, yeah, they're higher quality, yeah, you create American jobs, but of course they're a lot more expensive.
And some things made in America are ten times the cost of what they are in China.
So get prepared.
You're about to pay a lot more for everything.
And that's a shocker.
What's that going to do to spending on luxury items or recreational spending, discretionary income?
People are going to have a lot less money to spend on recreation and the things they want because they're going to be spending more and more money on the things they need and can't live without.
And that's all because of the coronavirus.
So the markets, at some point, will have to react accordingly.
It's not going to be pretty.
It's going to be pretty damn ugly, actually.
But it's going to take months to unfold.
Many months.
