If the pandemic is like a very severe flu, models point to global economic growth being two percentage points lower over12 months, at around 1%; if it is worse still, the world economy could shrink. As that prospect sank in during the week, the S&P 500 fell by 8%.
如果此次流行病和一场非常严重的流感类似,那么根据模型,全球经济增长在12个月内下降两个百分点,大约为1%;如果情况更糟,世界经济可能会萎缩。随着这一预测在本周逐渐明朗,标准普尔500指数下跌了8%。【注:据最新数据,标准普尔500已经下跌了25%,主要是由油价下跌和新冠疫情导致的】
