Maximusian Economy begins to rebound in wake of the Adenovirus outbreak.

Although there was never a widespread Adenovirus outbreak in Libertas Omnium Maximus, the virus was still able to scare many investors into selling their stocks. The panic, as many of our readers are probably aware, did a real number on the Maximusian economy. The airlines fared the worst but nearly every industry was negatively affected by the epidemic. The good news: it looks like things are finally turning around. Nearly all industries have returned to about where they were at the end of the 2019 4th quarter, a very good sign for the Maximusian economy. Additionally, the unemployment rate in LOM has actually dropped since January by about 0.07%. All in all, the Maximusian economy is projected to completely recover from the effects of the Adenovirus outbreak by the start of the 3rd quarter. "I think that, for the most part, [the Maximusian Government] handled the Adenovirus well," stated John Bailey, owner of Bailey Automotive Works, on Sunday during a short interview he conducted with the Iustitia Sun. The 64-year-old automobile tycoon warned readers of the dangers of "getting worked up when there was no need to". He pointed out that Libertas Omnium Maximus experienced less than 80 cases of the Adenovirus during the entire course of the epidemic and only lost seven individuals to the virus. He went on to state that "Had our response to the virus been similar to Zamastan, Shuell, or one of the harder hit nations, as some folks were suggesting, we probably would be in the midst of a recession right now. Instead, it's back to business as usual." The sentiments of Bailey seem to be echoed by much of the general populace, with a recent poll suggesting that upwards of 70% of citizens agreed with the way the Maximusian Government handled things during the epidemic.
