Paul Tudor Jones says don’t think of coronavirus as a ‘pandemic Godzilla’

Billionaire hedge fund manager who called the 1987 market crash predicts stocks will rebound in a few months

Billionaire investor Paul Tudor Jones on Thursday said that America will beat the deadly coronavirus pandemic, while sharing his own personal narrative, noting that his daughter contracted the illness recently and has since recovered.

”We are going to quash it and send it back to the oblivion from where it came from” Jones told CNBC during a Thursday morning interview, cautioning that people are “prone to hype things to beyond what they are,” referring to the infectious disease that was first identified in Wuhan, China in December and has infected nearly a half a million people and claimed more than 22,000 lives, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, as of Thursday.
