I hate to break it to the Dims, but the actual timing of this is likely to be more helpful to President Trump than the Democrats. It will be hard to keep the hysteria going through Spring and Summer as this thing dies down. With the billions of dollars thrown at it, there is likely to be some type of effective treatment developed and most likely some form of vaccine. With lower interest rates and lower fuel costs businesses will take off and the stock market will bounce back. Open borders will have proved to be a bad idea
The hysteria will go away once warmer temperatures arrive and this virus fades for a bit, but the Democrats will no doubt hold hearings and talk 24/7 about Trump’s response. And there will be plenty of never-Trump losers and panic pushers to help them. Not that he can’t win against such crazies, but it will be a battle.
With lower energy prices, it’s always a net positive for the US economy as a whole. The coronavirus-induced stock lowering (which in my opinion was partly a needed correction; way too many overvalued stocks) will be more robustly countered and we may see the stock market at a non-correction-needed 27 or 28 thousand by September or October, just in time for the final run up to the general election.
