Senator Alexei Pushkov reacted to the largest collapse in the US stock markets since 1987.
The parliamentarian believes the assumption that the coronavirus is a consequence of a conspiracy of pharmacists is absurd.
“The US stock exchange crashed in a way that it has not crashed since 1987. Nobody benefits from the epidemic, and the world loses billions”, – Pushkov wrote on Twitter.
On Thursday, March 12, US indices closed with a fall from 7.9 to 9.3 percent, which was the worst indicator in more than 30 years.
The situation was negatively affected by a statement by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, who announced a 30-day ban on entering the country from Europe due to coronavirus.
Against this background, the day before, American exchanges opened by a seven percent drop and were forced to suspend trading ten minutes after they started. After resumption, indices continued to fall below seven percent.
