In college he worked as a medical scribe for doctors in the emergency room in a small hospital in chattanooga and after decided he wanted to become an emergency room physician.

Uncertainty about the virus itself and what the impact could be. In terms of the stimulus package, that is certainly psychological. The fact that President Trump did not offer this plan he said he what is disappointing for the markets because anything can help. It is hard to know if the stimulus will help. We have little more than a thousand cases in the u. S. If that is the case, the stimulus would be very different than if it balloons to a higher number. The impact is hard to know how much stimulus is actually needed. David we had the bank of england and the u. K. Canceler ship the u. K. Chancellorship come out with a plan. To the markets like that better than what is going on in the United States . Abigail to some degree because you had european stocks slightly higher.
