If the GDP is positive (meaning no recession in the current period), the earliest a recession could occur would be at the end of the current year or the beginning of the next year.
"but i will say this if it turns out that the gdp is positive then that's a good thing because at that point we would reset the counter to zero it's at that point that the earliest that we could get into a recession would be at the end of the year or beginning of next year"
