I don't understand the dramatic reaction from the stock market. 
I will research more, of course, but that was what piqued my interest this morning. Off to Forbes, I go.

I think it’s a reaction to the possibility of death and someone else stepping in?I don't understand the dramatic reaction from the stock market.

I read from several sources and this is what stuck with me and made the most sense. Democrats' are expensive. I think it’s a reaction to the possibility of death and someone else stepping in?
"The news of President Trump contracting Covid-19 could completely change the direction of the campaign and adds to our already cautious outlook on the stock market," said James McDonald, the CEO of Los Angeles-based Hercules Investments. "[It] will elevate institutional money's preparation for a Democratic White House and all the tax, trade and budget implications that go along with it. We expect institutional investors to start de-risking portfolios and increasing hedges in preparation for market volatility."

I don't pretend to be particularly knowledgeable in the stock market arena, but, at least in my recollection, some of the best runs in the market have been during democratic presidencies haven't they (thinking Clinton and Obama)?
It seems to me that the market lags and sags or leaps and soars depending on the current news cycle.
Again, not an expert here
As far as the Covid diagnoses of the president and first lady, I hope they get through it easily and don't suffer any of the particularly nasty side effects that some have.
