3 No-Brainer Coronavirus Bear Market Buys
There's absolutely no question that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has completely changed our societal habits. With more than 1.8 million confirmed cases worldwide, as of April 12 -- 30% of which have originated in the United States -- stringent mitigation measures have been necessary to help curtail transmission. These measures have included everything from mandated stay-at-home orders issued by state governors in the U.S., to the shutdown of nonessential businesses in most states.
There's also little doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacted a sizable physical and financial toll in the United States. Aside from being responsible for more than 20,000 U.S. deaths to date, it's also cost almost 17 million Americans their jobs over a three-week stretch and sent equities to their fastest bear market in history.
Once this is all over, the way we work and engage is certain to be different than it was, say, two months ago.
