Stocks tumbled on Monday as investors braced for the economic fallout from the spreading coronavirus, while a shocking all-out oil price war added to the anxiety.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average tanked more than 1,800 points at the open, while the S&P 500 dropped 7%. The massive sell-off triggered a key market circuit breaker in morning trading. Trading was halted for 15 minutes until 9:49 a.m. ET.

Deep State was waiting for all this to occur in “October”, but circumstances are forcing them to make their move now!

The Wusan coronavirus panic will begin to fade when Americans realize that although the virus is here, there have been no massive China or Korea outbreaks with the dead piling up in the United States. If the CDC and WHO released the race, age and underlying medical conditions of those who have become infected, then seriously ill or have died, the panic would end quickly.

Many believe this is an anti-Trump manufactured market panic, myself included. Good for those sitting on some cash, though.

At the expense of how many US Citizens? I cannot understand how Democrats can wish for the downturn of the economy which will hurt so many who are not in a position to withstand it.

All you have to do is compare and contrast the coverage of SARS and H1N1 on Obama’s watch.

Too much to expect the pathetic sheep in the US to think

This is a manufactured hyped non crisis.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Roughly 111,000 cases 101,000 recovered or mild. 3884 deaths

Yet we destroying the world economy because of drama queen hysterics in the Fake News. When will people FINALLY learn to STOP listening to the liars in Fake News?

Maybe not Trump, but maybe the GOP in Congress. What’s worrisome is the GOP voters tend to vote on Election Day, and all the Deep State needs to do is put out a virus scare a week before Election Day to have the impact they want.

Did you know that the region in Italy where the outbreak occurred is heavily populated with Chines immigrants and Asian workers. Do you know the age and underlying medical conditions of those native Italians that have become infected or died? Also did you know the Iranian population’s genome has a large Chinese contribution? The Silk Road and numerous Chinese caravans transversed Iran and the Mongols once conquered most of Iran.
