The Economic Backlash of the deadly COVID-19 outbreak continue to ripple worldwide, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average in USA dropping 1,191 points on Thursday 27th February 2019 – its worst one-day point drop in history.
As new cases of the virus – which currently has no known vaccine – continue to spread worldwide, there are no signs of the economic backlash abating.
In his prophetic message for 2020, prominent Nigerian cleric had given a worldwide warning that “the economy will have a backlash”, specifically mentioning how the American economy would be affected.
