COVID-19 A Second Wave

After a tumultuous first six months of 2020, which is absolutely unbelievable andunprecedented, we have arrived at a bubbly stock market, riots and an impending and polarizing election season. Will COVID-19 rear its ugly head again and be used by the media and politicians? It is likely to be so.

As states reopen, a mini-second wave of COVID-19 has shown up. States including Arizona, Washington and California have seen upticks in infection as the political and social fabric of America is strained. The media is wrapped up in the riots, and consequently these riots are where new COVID-19 infections are spiking

Will there be a second lockdown? Will there be more infections that are used to prematurely quell the discord in America? The powers that be risk a stock market collapse, but they are on the sidelines flush with cash as retail investors gamble in the roiling markets.

The media and politicians will likely use this to their advantage like most things. Keep on your straight and narrow path and keep your eyes open. Consider developing an emergency fund and hold precious metals and cryptocurrency. Godspeed.
