What?! Of course, you should consider Covid-19 in making decisions. This is a global pandemic that will likely have significant economic effect on the world (not to mention all of the non-economic effects).
The problem here for investing is not the "crash" but the potential effect of Covid-19 on the world. I didn't sell out in 2008 and haven't sold out now (I am 66). I was at 50/50 allocation and it has all drifted down to 45/55. I do feel that the OP has a good point about the market not seeming to match up with economic reality. I am not likely to sell all my equity funds but I have thought of potentially reducing my allocation because of the mismatch that I see right now (I can't imagine going below about 40% though).
The market is looking 2 quarters ahead, as it has done for years. The market thinks things will be marginally better in 2 quarters.
