There seems to always be fear mongering by people who benefit from the "opportunities" created by the suffering of those most vulnerable whenever there is a sufficient amount of fear, uncertainty, and doubt pumped into the public mind to create an economic pull back. Or maybe they are Russian agents attempting to attack the US economy? Either way, the best advice is generally: don't read the comments, there's too much toxicity, manipulation, and disinformation

TIL that WSJ, Bloomberg, BAML, and a plethora of financial institutions are all "Russian agents attempting to attack the US economy".

Reading the comments was clearly a mistake as the paranoia has gotten completely out of control.

Those organizations are composed of individuals. There are also many ways to influence people's perspectives, often without them realizing.
