Kuehl: Recovery Could Begin This Summer

We are in the middle of a black swan event—an event that is expected but unexpected, said Chris Kuehl, managing director of Armada Corporate Intelligence during Wednesday’s SMU Community Chat Webinar. “Viral threats are not new and have been frequent in the past few decades, but we don’t know from year to year how they will manifest, where they will break out and how they will impact us. We are trying to deal with something that we weren’t prepared for and that we probably should have been prepared for,” said Kuehl.

The restart of the economy is under way and we are left between a rock and a hard place, says Kuehl. “No matter what you do for either the economy or to deal with COVID 19, it’s going to make the other problem worse.”
