Jamie Dimon had a dream that coronavirus killed Davos attendees

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon made a joke Tuesday about the deadly coronavirus outbreak.

“I had this nightmare that somehow in Davos, all of us who went there got it, and then we all left and spread it,” Dimon said Tuesday at the bank’s annual investor meeting. “The only good news from that is that it might have just killed the elite.”

Attendees laughed after he made the comment. Prior to his joke, Dimon noted that that he hopes the virus gets contained and “feels terrible” about it.

JPMorgan Chase didn’t immediately return our request for comment.
