Logical Analysis Report

Key Focus

Demand would fall by 80% in entertainment, arts, recreation, restaurants, and lodging (for 3 months).
Retail trade would fall by 25%.
The demand for medical and hospital services would surge.
And, a fear of travel, coupled with government-imposed restrictions, would lead to a dramatic decline in domestic and international travel
It represents the hit the economy takes from hospitalizations, deaths, lost productivity, and a consequent slowdown in the flow of goods and services.
