Trump said Wednesday that the U.S. will suspend all travel from Europe to the U.S. for 30 days, and that the new rules are going into effect on midnight Friday. The measures will affect 26 European countries but the U.K. and Ireland are exempted from the restrictions, as are American citizens who have undergone virus screening.
"These restrictions will be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground," Trump said, blaming Europe for not taking adequate action to control the spread of the virus; Italy is the worst hit country outside China and a nationwide lockdown continues there. The World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic on Wednesday. There are at least 118,381 confirmed cases of the virus worldwide, according to the latest figures from the WHO. At least 4,292 people have died worldwide, the WHO said.
On Thursday, investors are awaiting the latest monetary policy decision from the European Central Bank which is expected to announce stimulus measures to mitigate the economic impact of the coronavirus.
the way trump is dealing with corona is insane (but excepted) however, the structural inequalities built into unregulated capitalism like; not having socialized medicine, letting private enterprise lead w testing & no paid leave makes this pandemic a nightmare for any admin
Why would anyone want to travel from Europe to the US at this time except to come home No reason for markets to freak out. Jesus fucking Christ get a grip folks.
Any investors out there have any 'inside tips' on which Healthcare companies may have an inside track on this virus? I'm looking for any way possible to make a profit off this crisis. Someone knows something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is Trump short the market?
