 What now? In one week, coronavirus brought the U.S. from complacency to panic. Many of us are suddenly working from home in the hopes of curbing the spread of Covid-19: staggering our shifts, adjusting our commutes, adapting to telecommuting alongside a spouse who is also at home (and possibly in tandem with caring for children whose schools have closed). Wall Street's history-making bull market crashed. President Donald Trump addressed the nation twice about his administration's response, with less-than-reassuring results. Travel and tourism have come to a near-halt, threatening the livelihoods of countless workers. It's a new normal — at least a temporary, uncertain one. So be prepared, take measures to stay safe, and stay updated with Bloomberg Opinion's careful, informed analysis, because the story has only just begun. Brace yourselves.
