The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the globe, and not just with the spread of the virus. Stock market deficits, school closures, interruption of foreign trade, industries closing, manufacturing shutdown, transportation shutdown, businesses closing, unemployment rising, total global shutdown.
Because of the closings of businesses, even though some can work from home and communicate through internet meetings, the chance of total recovery is bleak. Many of the smaller companies have already closed permanently, and it is questionable as to which businesses will rebound and flourish again.
For global recovery, the gates of trade have to open, and the factories need to produce something to trade. People need to be able to work and make money to be able to buy dry goods, groceries, and support the grocers, shop owners, and indirectly the product producers.
