    The coronavirus pandemic has caused severe global social and economic disruption. For producers, it has led to uncertainty, price volatility, manufacturing and supply chain disruptions, and financial issues like shrinking cash flows and tightening credit. The lockdown in Wuhan, a major transportation hub, has greatly impacted global supply chains. For consumers, current behavior includes cutting expenses, staying indoors, and stocking up, while the supply side shock is causing delays and non-delivery of goods. Governments are providing measures like loans, paid holidays, tax deductions, and access to contingency funds to address the crisis.
