Has the epidemic really affected the American economy, Zhihu?

It must be affected. As long as there is isolation, there will be influence. For example, there is no impact, life and work are normal, and everyone is in the previous state. However, people who are sick now need someone to replace their jobs, those who are sick at home need someone to replace their jobs, and those who are not sick are also isolated at home. Now the number of infections and deaths in the United States is already a huge number. And the hospital has been busy to death, it doesn't matter, so no one takes it seriously.
