$11.5 trillion dollars has been wiped off the stock market in the past few weeks[1]. That's not just the virus because there's an oil price war going on too, but it does seem like suggesting it'll be back to normal in 6 months implies you don't understand the scale of the problem.

No one knows the scale of the problem. It's the uncertainty that's driving the volatility.
