The severity of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. He published a paper calling for most of the measures in place now, back when global cases were below 1000 (Jan 26). Would've saved thousands of lives at this point.

"Balancing the economy" sure worked out well huh, with that 1.5 trillion in printed magic fairy dust dollars vanishing in thin air. Every "disproportionate" measure would've been magnitudes less expensive than the post-hoc measures of today. That's his point.

>There's a repo crisis that started last year, pension funds are insolvent, the government is bailing out every industry, dozens of CEOs quit their jobs in anticipation, senators sold millions in February, the unemployment websites are crashing do to load, mass layoffs haven't started, supply chain hit hasn't fully manifested yet (companies will run out of reserve stock soon), quarterly earnings are next month, hmm what else? yes there is a global pandemic.

>Oh right, there's a housing bubble, student loan bubble, sub-prime auto loans. What else? OH YEAH. All growth in the market since 2009 has been fucking stock buybacks! OH RIGHT any the fucking pandemic hasn't even slammed the hospitals yet. Do you realize by this time next month the average hospital will be swamped with elderly people who are literally suffocating to death? Picture it, and the media coverage.
We haven't even priced-in all the people who will be drawing out their 401ks to pay for mortgages, rent, and food.

>OH yeah, and the food shortages. OH YEAH and the national GUARD is being DEPLOYED because of the very real possibility of riots in the major cities. OH YEAH and there's going to be an Occupy Wall Street 2.0 coming that will be militantly violent with a fully built-up army of anti-Drumpf cattle manipulated by strongest anarcho-communist black block America has even seen (as a reaction to the Alt Right).
Yeah mate this is the bottom for sure... for sure... for sure...

Prepare yourselves for a lost decade.
