The outbreak of coronavirus, which has cost nearly 3,000 lives across the world, is showing no signs of slowing down.

As the virus, which has already affected people in over 75 countries continues to spread, the researchers are now worried about a global recession. The shutting down of factories in China has disrupted global supply chains ⁠— e.g. lack of parts have stalled car manufacturing, lack of inputs have hurt drug making and so on ⁠— trade and travel have to come a grinding halt, triggering fears of large-scale unemployment, and those are just some of the effects of the deadly coronavirus.
