There’s great urgency to re-open the U.S. economy.
Here in Vermont, we’re starting our fifth week of “shelter in place.” And folks are getting frustrated and impatient.
Yet Japan may offer insights into what happens if restrictions are lifted too early: a second wave.
On Feb. 28, Japan implemented a “soft lockdown.”
Three weeks later, the number of new cases appeared to be under control. On March 19 restrictions were lifted. Kids went back to school. And many people began to return to work.
Less than four weeks after lifting restrictions, Japan now reports a second wave of COVID-19 cases.
On Saturday, Japan reported 743 new cases of the virus.
That was the single highest number of new cases since the pandemic reached the country.
The same second wave is now happening in China. The country reported 169 new cases on Sunday. That was the highest number of new cases in five weeks.
Here in the U.S. investors will be watching corporate earnings closely. These reports will provide signs for what’s ahead as the U.S. enters week No. 5 of the economic shutdown.
