Post-Covid scenario: Swoosh, pipe, Z, L & W… shape of our future

Predicting recovery graphs, economists add cool shapes to plain vanilla V or U trajectories. There’s the Swoosh, a recovery pattern that looks like Nike’s famous logo. There’s the smoking pipe graph. There’s a W, Z and an L. Entirely predictably, because they can never agree on anything that’s important, different economists are championing different shapes, including in India.
