posted by Hannity Staff - 3.02.20

The Dow Jones Industrial average jumped 700 points during mid-day trading Monday as global stock markets struggle to shake-off last week’s frenzied sell-off stoked by fears of the Coronavirus.

“Monday’s moves mirrored the volatile overnight session where Dow futures traded in a range of more than 1,000 points, indicating this week may be as volatile as last week as well,” reports CNBC.

“The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite all fell more than 10% last week, their biggest weekly declines since October 2008. They also entered correction territory, down more than 10% from all-time highs notched earlier in February. Both the Dow and S&P 500 have fallen for seven straight days,” adds the website.

BREAKING: CDC Says Coronavirus Will Likely ‘Become a Global Pandemic,' Urges Americans to Prepare

posted by Hannity Staff - 2.25.20

Officials at the Centers for Disease Control confirmed Tuesday afternoon that the deadly Coronavirus will likely “become a global pandemic” in the coming days.

“Current global circumstances suggest it’s likely this virus will cause a pandemic,” Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told reporters.

“It’s not so much a question of if this will happen any more, but rather more a question of when this will happen and how many people in this country will become infected and how many of those will develop severe or more complicated disease,” she added.

The virus has infected more than 80,000 people -mostly in China- and killed upwards of 3,000. Recent outbreaks in Italy and Iran have drastically increased the likelihood of a major outbreak somewhere in the United States.

“We must use this time to continue to prepare for the event of community transmission in the United States,” Schuchat said. “Part of that preparation is educating the public and our state, local and private sector partners about what transition from aggressive containment measures to community measures or community mitigation would look like should we end up there.”
