Coronavirus: overhyped fear-mongering or potential mega doom?

I meant the pound fell against the US dollar, the world's reserve currency. All of them orbit around that one.

I read that some dimwit, predicting the imminent demise of the European Union suggested that the UK was far better placed to manage the contagion enveloping us. Yet in that period the Pound has slipped from 1.20 to 1.06 against the Euro. What do the markets know about the strength of the UK economy now we have got Brexit done and we have control of our sovereign destiny I ask myself.
