On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Coronavirus Disease 2019, otherwise known with its acronym COVID-19 as a Pandemic. In terms of global comparison, the Pandemic resulted in proportionately higher number of people infected resulting in the highest number of deaths as a percent of population in the United States. As a result of lock-down and other preventative measures, the U.S. economy plunged into a deep recession. Starting in late November 2020, United States adopted a more aggressive and all-out efforts at containing the Pandemic. A significant part of the U.S. government’s efforts at reducing the impacts of the Pandemic was massive infusions of two stimulus packages. While the government’s efforts appear to be successful to a great degree, the path to recovery, especially the shape of the recovery curve remains unknown at the present time. The objective of this paper is to analyze the alphabet-shaped economic growth curves with a view to predicting the exact nature of post-COVID recovery.
