Just a data point for those trying to estimate valuations in what is becoming an increasingly turbulent market, driven by uncertainty as to risk.

This is not a classic liquidity crisis. Interest rate drops are not going to restart factories/supply chains, resolve demand shocks caused by social distancing (voluntary or government-imposed), or address the many knock-on effects that flow from those issues.

Really good point. Thank you
