Covid-19 and its economic damage

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

It's like an image of Covid-19 on top of a downward slope for a graph of the world economy. It's basically trying to say that the virus is the cause for this downward spiral. I found it on Google Images.

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

The object that I've uploaded says that the pandemic will have a long-term effect on the entire world economy. The global GDP will go down, businesses will close, and millions of people will be left without a job. So unless there is a vaccine found faster, each month people are not working and society is going back to normal, the recovery time will only grow. I'm pretty sure this is obvious stuff to know but I guess that's what I'm most worried about the pandemic.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
