President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were diagnosed with the China coronavirus yesterday. This morning the markets are way down in reaction to this news.
CNBC reported this morning:
The development, which comes late in the run-up to the Nov. 3 presidential election, has raised the possibility that others at the highest levels of U.S. government could have been exposed to the virus in recent days and may need to quarantine as well.
White House physician Dr. Sean Conley said in a letter that the president and first lady were “both well at this time, and they planned to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence.”
Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!

Yahoo Finance reported as a result of the news, the market futures are down this morning:
Stock futures fell Friday morning after President Donald Trump revealed he had tested positive for Covid-19, injecting further uncertainty into an already contentious political environment.
Americans and the world recognize that the Trump economy is what has fueled massive growth in people’s 401k’s and financials around the world. Since President Trump’s election win, the markets are up nearly 50% as of yesterday. This is after shutting down the economy in the US in March and April due to the China coronavirus.
On Thursday night Trumps Campaign adviser Hope Hicks announced she had tested positive for the coronavirus.
Trump is said to have minor symptoms. He was lethargic at the Bedminster fundraiser, per an attendee. As of last night, officials were discussing treatment options as well as options for addressing the nation. https://t.co/DCq8wCL3B4

Hope traveled on Air Force One with the president three times this week and could be the source of Trump catching the virus.
Less than an hour after the news of President Trump and First Lady Melania’s diagnosis the far left Washington Post tweeted out this story.
“Imagine what it will be like to never have to think about Trump again.”

Vice President Mike Pence tested negative for the virus.
It should be noted that most people who catch the disease recover especially those people under 50 years-old.
