Intron Health: COVID-19 - Lockdowns Until 2021

Whilst the market is expecting a near-term peak in cases in Europe, we show that there are likely to be continual outbreaks into 2021 and we will likely see ongoing economic disruption for many quarters to come. HK & Taiwan eased some of the social distancing measures and saw a marked increase in COVID-19 cases. The UK govt’s base case is for continual outbreaks. We show that ICU beds are the limiting factor & driving govt behaviours, not economic disruption. Crucially, we show that looking at daily case numbers to find the peak is no longer a valid dataset & market focus on this dataset is misplaced. From an equities perspective, the winners could be bigger winners & the losers, bigger losers.
