After downplaying COVID-19 for his own political gain and consistently and xenophobically calling it the “China Virus,” Donald Trump and Melania Trump have both tested positive for the Coronavirus. CNN reports that many White House officials knew that Hope Hicks, a senior counselor to the president, had tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday morning but encouraged Trump to attend a New Jersey golf club fundraiser with an attendance of over 100 people.
As a study in Nature discovered, older men produce a weaker immune response to the virus than women their same age but many older men have recovered from the disease. On MSNBC Friday morning, Pelosi said, “it might be as you say a learning experience.... This is tragic, it's very sad... Going into crowds unmasked and all the rest is sort of a brazen invitation for this to happen. Sad that it did, but nonetheless hopeful that it will be a transition to a saner approach to what this virus is all about.”
Moving forward, Trump’s in-person Friday campaign plans were cancelled and due to isolation it is assumed any in-person events for the next two weeks will be postponed. The economic response to this news includes sliding stocks and oil futures. For non-economists, this just means these particular investments are more dependent on policy shifts which could be deeply affected by Donald Trump’s sickness or death.
