https://www.theguardian.com/busines...lt-china-travel-as-coronavirus-spooks-markets Many firms just got notice TODAY. 1/28/2020 Incubation period is 2 to 10 days. There are estimates that the actual numbers infected are 100k+. 3 months away from any type of potential vaccine. Not saying this is a time to short. I don't see how this doesn't start hitting markets though in the next few weeks.
By 3 Months we mean a year and 17years on still haven't got a antidote for SARS so maybe never. When 100K+ have symptoms and 30% need specialist hospital care, that's when the system fails and the death rate shoots upto 20%+. Markets aren't real don't care about real news, it can all be spun so just trade the charts.
Just jumped to 17 countries and extra deaths reported aswell. someone 15miles from me in the UK confirmed. I'm nearly at the point where I say, it's Wild and we are all getting it
Don't want to cause panic, or they know like Swine Flu by the time it was spotted it was already wild. It's likely just a slowing down excersize here in the hope they can get a cure sorted. Low odds on it killing me ( although Asthma so ?? not zero ), going to suck and we are all going to know people that it does kill. 2Months, 3 tops before we've all got it.
I lived in Toronto during sars and didn't know anyone who died. Not sure why you're predicting this is different.
SARS wasn't as easy to spread, wasn't spreadable until symptoms aswell, so it didn't become a pandemic really and didn't blow up the hospital system although more deadly even with treatment, that would of been proper nasty. Airborne, SARS contact only!!
They're not sure if you can spread it pre-symptomatic yet or not. 4% death rate at the moment. Air travel will be restricted soon IMO
I read it was, but might of been an error. 4% could increase still a lot of people in hospital, only 60 released cured last I heard, could just be a slow death, IF/when hospitals over run and doctors and nurses sick / dying and limited treatment due to huge numbers infected and limited supplies, then 20-30% expected which is a scarey scarey number. This is if it goes wild, not quite there yet, might be by the time I wake up though.
