This much is absolutely true.
A couple of reasons:
Adding to all of that is the fact that the left has been desperately hoping to somehow crash the stock market or exacerbate any pain even if it means that millions may die, they want to create or exacerbate any crisis, pump it up, and pin it on Trump.
They did this in Puerto Rico - massive aid was sent after Hurricane Maria and hidden - the mayor of San Juan even stood in front of it on TV and lied that people were dying because of Trump. Rumors circulated that the aid was hidden and not distributed - but relax, we were told - the FBI was investigating. NOTHING EVER CAME OF IT... until two years later, someone opened the warehouse stuffed full or rotting aid that was never distributed, but rather hidden so that they could blame Trump. Nobody was punished. They got away with it. People died.
People on the left have already publicly stated that they intend to infect Trump supporters if they get this virus. People will die. This is what we are up against.
Another reason are the unbelievably stupid and selfish such as the employee of Dartmouth Medical Center who was under self quarantine, yet went to an event and infected coworkers.
Not to get off on a stock market rant, but I think we need to look at the market by itself and not an indicator of “economic health.”
The stock market was at all time highs, but that is mostly based on the rush away from the bond markets. With interest rates at near all time lows, the ONLY place to put money is in the market.
If you think it is bad now, think of this: None of the indicators coming out now through the end of the month will contain ANY indicator of the impact of the virus. For example, Jobs Friday is tomorrow. The numbers may move the market, but in terms of Q2 and Q3 impact they will be meaningless as anything other than a high water mark.
