As capital is so liquid, and information is so easy to manipulate, my guess is the countries with best control over information will be able to attract investment, e.g. in the case of China they will pretend to be cured/free of virus/not the cause of virus in order to retain/attract capital.. but likely the opposite will happen, capital will flee China, because we see what happened and what caused it. The US will see an influx of investments and capital like never before.
