I am in particular fascinated with the stock market being almost a breathing animal. I watch fox business and cnbc daily cnbc seems to be more calm these past few days but fox business on the other hand treads into fox news bullshit waters.

(11,804 posts)Are going to be so willing as we move into a phase where his incompetence has immediate widespread effects, particularly in a state of heightened awareness. Perhaps he's so influenced his audience that they won't see his incompetence but it's hard to believe that people who's following of him is more a practical matter ("sure he's an idiot but he is giving me a tax break / driving liberals crazy" will go along with it.

The investors are not stupid, because of our failure to act to contain this... back when we might have had a chance... means months to possibly years of reduced GDP. There are so many sectors that will be negatively affected it would be better to try to enumerate the sectors that WON'T see more than a small downturn.
Right now, they are pricing in 40 percent of all citizens of the US becoming infected... and, since we can't or won't contain it, re-infecting the world.
I won't be at all surprised by a further drop of 10,000 points.
