Some calamities can indeed affect the economy, but Coronavirus is not one of them. Around 3k people have died from it globally, but we know that from 12k to 61k people have died from the flu every year since 2010 in the US alone.
In short, this Coronavirus thing is a vastly over-hyped scare story the media force-feeding their readers and viewers with. It will hardly affect the economy, and surely it will not lead to collapse of banks.
I will not agree to that, Coronavirus may not be a life-threatening disease like others but
the issue is with the rate it spreads to others it is being spread to others at a very faster rate like more than one lakh people in the last two months is very high this will prevent from proper functioning of the economy thereby affecting the banks. If it is controlled there won't be any issues but if it is not controlled then it is a serious issue for the economy.
Please, read reliable sources before making statements. In the recent report by the World Health Organization they say that common influenza viruses spread faster than COVID19 does.

There are more than 20 vaccines in development for COVID-19 currently. Pfizer or someone else will surely find a solution soon.
This situation can affect economies, but mainly because of the news, not the virus itself. And the collapse of banking is out of the question entirely.
