As economists around the world search for the right terminology to describe the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression, it could take years to settle on a name.

The IMF calls it the Great Lockdown. Morgan Stanley says it's the Great COVID-19 Recession, or GCR for short. Ed Yardeni, who coined the term "bond vigilantes" back in the 1980s, has named this the Great Virus Crisis.As economists around the world search for the right terminology to describe the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression, it could take years to settle on a name, if history is any guide.

But there are rivals. Yardeni, president and chief investment strategist of Yardeni Research, floated the Great Virus Crisis in an interview with Bloomberg News in March, and has been plugging it in his research notes since. "A well-coined phrase conveys a lot of information once it becomes universally accepted," Yardeni said in an interview, adding that he still gets calls asking about "bond vigilantes" decades after he first used the term.

"When you go on Wikipedia and look for Great Virus Crisis, if it's there then I guess it made the hit parade," he said. "Or else we'll find something else, Great Lockdown or whatever." For Morgan Stanley, its use of Great COVID-19 Recession reflects its expectations for the deepest peacetime contraction in global growth since the Great Depression, according to chief economist Chetan Ahya.

And here we have the problem. Too many people, media included, can't see beyond economics. In this case the economic problem is part of the overall Pandemic, which we already have a name for, Covid19. But that's just not good enough. It really is a conceptual issue.

You just said it, the Greatest Depression. Because there's never been a depression so great. People come up and ask me, how do you make this depression so great? I've never seen anything like it, there's nothing like it. But I promised you I'd make depression great again.

Coronavirus serving as a 'mid-life crisis, whether you're conscious of it or not' | Sky News AustraliaPsychotherapist Melissa Ferrari says people should use the coronavirus lockdown as a chance to reassess what they want in life. \n\n“It’s kind of like a version of a mid-life crisis in a way for some,” she said. \n\n“We’ve all been under an incredible amount of stress and I think people are really taking stock of their lives and thinking ‘what do I want from my life’.” \n\nDr Ferrari said the coronavirus pandemic created added stress for so much of the population, “whether you’re conscious of it or not”. \n\n“We’ve all got that part of the brain that goes into fight or flight response,” she said. \n\nShe urged people to make good of a difficult situation and take some time out for “self-reflection and mindfulness”. \n\nImage: Getty I googled Ms Ferrari and can but wonder what on god's green earth qualifies her to talk on anything.

Treasury forecasts erred over 'once in a century' pandemic: Frydenberg | Sky News AustraliaTreasurer Josh Frydenberg has defended Treasury’s costing error, which saw the JobKeeper scheme initially forecasted $60 billion higher than was required, saying Australia was plunged into a crisis and responded to early economic forecasts. \n\nThe treasurer has ruled out extending the JobKeeper eligibility after it was revealed the scheme will cover about 3.5 million workers instead of a projected 6.5 million workers. \n\nSpeaking to Sky News on Monday, Mr Frydenberg said Australia’s response to the coronavirus crisis was a “health miracle” and had a “real economic benefit”. \n\n “We’ve had much more success than we initially thought and that’s a good news story for Australia and it is also good news for the budget and for the bottom line because it means our borrowings will be $60 billion less than they otherwise would have been,” he said. \n\nThe treasurer said he remained in support of the Treasury and its forecasts as the nation was placed in a unique position and responded to the forecasts at the time. \n\n“[It was a] once in a century pandemic and it is obviously very uncertain times economically and therefore very difficult to forecast the take up for particular programs,” he said. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia JoshFrydenberg You call that a defense?
