Sample key takeaways:

1. SARS-CoV-2 is a deadly virus more commonly known as coronavirus. The resulting disease from the virus is called COVID-19. Some infections produce no symptoms at all, while others cause lung inflammation, which leads to difficulty breathing and a myriad of other potential symptoms and complications.

2. The pandemic began in Wuhan, China. Like all pandemics, the number of infections began slowly but grew exponentially. By May 2020, the American Enterprise Institute estimated the number of COVID-19 cases in China was 2.9 million. The official figures reported by China are drastically lower but almost certainly undercounted.

3. The virus was spread to Italy by Chinese citizens arriving in Milan for Fashion Week. Italy’s older population and strained medical facilities exacerbated the spread of COVID-19, but unlike China, numbers were recorded accurately, serving as a demonstration of the effects of the virus for the entire world.

The man who predicted the worst economic crisis in US history shows you how to survive it.

The current crisis is not like 2008 or even 1929. The New Depression that has emerged from the COVID pandemic is the worst economic crisis in US history. Most fired employees will remain redundant. Bankruptcies will be common, and banks will buckle under the weight of bad debts. Deflation, debt, and demography will wreck any chance of recovery, and social disorder will follow closely on the heels of market chaos. The happy talk from Wall Street and the White House is an illusion. The worst is yet to come.

But for knowledgeable investors, all hope is not lost.

In The New Great Depression, James Rickards, New York Times best-selling author of Aftermath and The New Case for Gold, pulls back the curtain to reveal the true risks to our financial system and what savvy investors can do to survive - even prosper - during a time of unrivaled turbulence. Drawing on historical case studies, monetary theory, and behind-the-scenes access to the halls of power, Rickards shines a clarifying light on the events taking place, so investors understand what's really happening and what they can do about it.

A must-listen for any fans of Rickards and for investors everywhere who want to understand how to preserve their wealth during the worst economic crisis in US history.
