The Fed announced late Wednesday a new lending facility to back money market mutual funds battered by the coronavirus crisis.
The move is apparently aimed at ensuring that the nearly $4 trillion money market fund industry can weather sudden redemptions by investors amid a major correction on Wall Street and a sharp upsurge in layoffs caused by the coronavirus crisis. The announcement followed one earlier in the day meant to backstop the market for commercial paper — unsecured promissory notes issued by businesses to meet such short-term liabilities as payrolls, accounts payable and inventories. And on Sunday, the central bank lowered its benchmark federal funds rate to near zero and pledged to purchase $700 billion in Treasury securities and mortgage bonds.

Will people feel like idiots when they find out that coronavirus was actually no more deadly than the flu, because the death rate was hyper-inflated due to the fact that severely ill people are far more likely to be tested and diagnosed, than infected people with weak symptoms?
So they’re preparing for a run on the banks?
Credit? It means more debt!
Help humans before markets! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Worried about Wall Street? Fxck Wall Street...what about US?
