What the fed do will matter little this time, I think. This crisis have been managed very badly by most Western countries, and the markets have started to price that in. I think we're 1/4-1/6 of the way down before this bottoms out. Sold all my stocks at the end of January.

> 1/4-1/6

We're down ~10%. A 60% drop sounds extreme for how much long-term impact this could have.

i don't know.

We're going to have serious supply chain issues for the foreseeable future. A few months with decreased production is going to set things back pretty significantly. And with the possibility of 6-18 months of delays and decreased production, i can see it taking 5-7 years to fully recover from.
