University of Virginia economics teacher, Edwin Burton, addressed community members about what they can expect in the future.

\Marvin Hilton, President of the Senior Statesmen of VA said, "They can expect to learn from an expert where he thinks the crisis is going to end. Is it going to end soon or is it going to be a long term situation."

Burton is the former head of the Virginia Retirement System.
