If fundamentals were sound, there would've been NO need for the government to throw $4.5 Trillion into the system, over the period of a whole month.

That cold hard fact is non-refutable hard evidence to prove it is in fact a financial crisis.



No, the confidence crisis (see above) and resulting market volatility (see above) are causing a disproportionate amount of investors to flock to cash/bonds, which is causing a temporary liquidity issue. It's not some underlying ticking time-bomb. It is a point in time in history where hospital ER's, COVID test kits, and the bond markets are being tested to their limits.

The fact that the bond markets are falling WITH the equity markets illustrate the uniqueness of the situation.

So it’s “only” the bond market that needs $4,500,000,000,000.00 (4.5 Trillion), to keep it afloat, gotcha.
