The stock market is very divorced from the economy and global events at present. The money faucets have been pumping non stop to stopgap all liquidity shortages within financial trading. As long as you grease the wheels, the market won't collapse.

That said, the coronavirus has also been ignored as a whole until now. AAPL's downward guidance is a big, big fucking deal and is almost certain to cause a short term impact on prices. However, it'll also be transitory much as the rest of the shit is.
