30. No one wants the stock market to crash.

Too many people have their retirement tied up in 401K type accounts that are invested in the stock market. We don't want the economy to suffer. I think most of us understand that the downturn is in response to the slow down in manufacturing/shipping/ etc. because of the virus. Trade has slowed down because of mass quarantines and illness. I would rather people not be ill.
