Bullshit. Did the market crash then? It crashed this time not because of the virus but because we have a blubbering idiot in charge, wall street had a right to panic.
As long as it's not 1/3...
They had over 3 1/2 years of Trump to panic. They didn't. Why then, were the markets and economy on a constant rise until the spread of this virus that crashed a number of countries markets? Care to explain that, Tacky?
I wonder we we haven't been seeing THIS ON THE FAKE NEWS????
Higher confidence than under Ebola (2104) or H1N1 (2009) outbreaks....Oh..I think I KNOW WHY WE'RE NOT SEEING IT......
High Confidence in Government to Handle Coronavirus
•77% trust the U.S. government to handle a coronavirus outbreak
•Current trust exceeds that for prior global or U.S. disease threats
•Two in three expect coronavirus to negatively affect the global economy
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- About three in four Americans say they are very (31%) or somewhat confident (46%) in the federal government's ability to handle an outbreak of the coronavirus. This is a higher level of confidence than Gallup has found for the government's handling of previous health scares.

Trump's not handling shit, dummy. He cowardly and cravenly passed it off on Pence like a dog turd bag dropped on Pence's doormat.
Where does the buck stop? Here? I don't think so.
Thanks for the talking point about Trump's failed leadership, no accountability, passing off of non-delegable duty
and shirking responsibility.
THE POLL ISN'T ABOUT THE MARKET, IS IT? IT'S ABOT WHO CAN HANDLE THE OUTBREAK BETTER.
READ THE RESULTS OF THE OBAMA YEARS.
273,000 IN FEBRUARY is FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE STOCK MARKET....
PENCE IS DOING GREAT and TRUMP IS DOING OTHER THINGS.
TRUMP KNOWS HOW TO DELEGATE, LIKE THE GREAT CEO HE IS.
273,000 jobs in FEBRUARY....
Is this what you tried to give Obama the credit for?
Overregulation of diagnostic testing has played a major role in this delay. For weeks, the CDC operated the nation’s sole diagnostic laboratory for coronavirus, while testing in the rest of the world proceeded apace.
Test protocols using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were publicly available shortly after Chinese researchers published (or described) the sequence of the virus in mid-January. The World Health Organization (WHO) used a freely available German procedure to create a test kit, shipping 250,000 tests to 159 laboratories worldwide.
Since early February, the WHO has facilitated specimen transfer to referral laboratories.
In China, labs have tested thousands of patients each day. By Feb. 23, the Chinese government had approved 10 test kits, and production capacity reached 1.65 million tests per week. Meantime, South Korea has more than 500 testing sites and has screened over 100,000 people, reportedly testing 10,000 individuals per day and pioneering “drive-through” testing facilities.
This enhanced testing capability is a key reason why the country has reported over 5,100 cases — the second-largest, outside China — including larger numbers of patients with mild illness, as reflected in a case fatality rate less than 1 percent.
As of March 3, the UK had tested nearly 14,000 cases.
By contrast, the United States had performed a paltry 472 tests by March 2. Further, CDC testing criteria have precluded recognizing community spread because of requirements stipulating recent travel to China or exposure to an infected person. Adherence to these guidelines delayed testing in the first probable case of community transmission, in Northern California, by four days.
The CDC has expanded indications for testing to include travel to Japan, Italy, Iran and South Korea, but testing guidelines remain biased toward the sickest individuals.
For those without known exposures, the CDC only recommends testing for severely affected patients.
In theory, doctors could have tested any individuals in whom they suspected coronavirus, and Vice President Mike Pence on March 3rd encouraged this; however, the unavailability of testing has been a major obstacle in practice.
On Feb. 4, following Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar’s declaration of a public-health emergency, the Food and Drug Administration issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to the CDC, allowing it to distribute test kits to designated public-health laboratories.
The CDC began shipping the kits on Feb. 5, but laboratories could not validate them because they contained a defective reagent.
Laboratory tests typically contain what is termed a “negative control” — material expected to yield a negative result when tested, and which protects against false-positive results stemming from contamination or other issues. Many labs obtained positive results with the negative controls, invalidating test runs and precluding use of the kits. Affected labs were required to send their specimens to the overburdened CDC.
The FDA has not allowed the experienced and highly skilled professionals at public-health, academic and commercial laboratories to set up their own laboratory developed tests (LDTs), and no manufactured test kits have been authorized for sale in the US. In Europe, several companies, at least one US-based, have regulatory approval to sell test kits there.
The FDA’s regulation of laboratory tests has been a longstanding concern. This includes moves to regulate LDTs, despite the existence of stringent alternative-regulatory and oversight mechanisms. In general, the FDA has exercised “enforcement discretion” with respect to LDTs. With coronavirus testing, the FDA’s abandonment of enforcement discretion may have proved deadly.

Let's hope the admin catches the curve.
HORSE SHIT. We DIDN'T HAVE THE MEDIA PUSHING HYSTERIA THEN.
THE MARKET IS NOT "THE ECONOMY", AS THE 273,000 JOBS ADDED IN FEBRUARY PROVES.
HE DIDN'T WAIT SIX MONTHS TO DO ANYTHING DID HE?
KEEP HOPING THE REST OF THE NATION GOES HYSTERICAL LIKE THE IDIOTS IN DEMOCRAT SHITHOLES...
