From a central bank research note of 17 April 2020 on the electronic inter dealer broker market for on the run securities, sample 3 January 2005 to 31 March 2020, and from a 2021 inter agency staff report. Spreads are in thirty seconds of a point, not basis points. Neither source gives absolute depth in dollars or absolute price impact figures. Neither reports any significance test.

Two official bodies measured the same collapse against different reference periods. One reports ten year depth down 93 per cent from the February average, the other reports it falling to about ten per cent of its post crisis average.
