Just days ago we were told in a White House briefing that as many as 240,000 Americans would would have perished
once the coronavirus rampage was over.
Yesterday Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control, said that the death toll would be "much, much, much lower" than these figures we've been hearing from the models.
He used the word "much" three times.
Naturally, this headline is nowhere to be found on the Drudge Report, which after a brief and temporary deviation is back to bad news only.
Now of course Redfield is saying that this good result is because of "social distancing," etc. Maybe. Maybe not.
The key thing: this virus and the coverage about it have taken Americans on a roller coaster. From one day to the next it's been hard to figure out what's really happening.
There will be so many people offering advice six months from now about:
-- what could have been done, or
-- what you can do after the damage is done
-- to try and recover or be better prepared for next time.
To TRY to recover from the damage done over the next 90 days.
How about avoiding the damage to begin with?
Tonight the first episode of the Crisis Investing docu-series is being released -- and if you sign up in advance, you can watch it for free.
This is by no means a series only for "investors." It's for everyone concerned about their money and their future right now.
This means you.
Get ready to watch, and protect yourself against what's going to hit everyone else:
