Economy question...

From someone who has a decent chunk invested (at least, as far as a 34 year old goes) but knows very little about the actual market, I have a question regarding this recession...

...because it’s global, if the majority of countries markets crash like ours has, does that make the fall negligible? If our dollar is still as strong vs the Yen, Euro, etc, is an economic fall less impactful as, say, 2008? When it was the USA economy falling while the rest of the world status quo?

In short, because so much of the worlds economies are falling, does that make ours less impactful or no difference? Is that answer different for individual wealth vs the country’s strength as a whole?
