I've tried picturing the country being put in a lockdown mode, it grinds to a halt and the financial wheels fall off the bus.

The capitalist economic picture has to have freedom of movement in order to survive, without the walmarts, the kmarts the dollar stores and the availability of semi affordable gasoline the United States squeaks to a stop. Picture truckers lined up along the interstate, frozen loads defrosting in the summer sun, not enough gas to get to the destination, what happens then? Tyson chicken, macDs, and the rest don't get supplies, their crews are sent home, nothing gets bought. That'll shake up the stock market for sure.
