Here's a wonderful explanation of Coronavirus by a Singaporean medical official and how it is transmitted.
It is explained that Coronavirus spreads by droplets, and is not airborne. That's awfully important to understand.

Numbers here are low because virus came here relatively later and because Trump's CDC appointees dropped the ball on testing. Numbers will climb exponentially in the coming weeks.

Numbers are higher on West coast because it's closest to Asia with large proportion of direct travel with those nations. Also because cities there are major industry and tourism hubs, so that's where most people are and where most travelers go to.

Nobody gives and F about visiting East Bumble****, Idaho. That's why it will take longer to get there, but it will.

OP displayed such a breathtakingly incompetent, inaccurate, partisan screed that he / she is probably fit for a top Trump cabinet position by now.

Unbelievable. The local government wants to protect the citizens while it seems the Fed wants to kill us all off.

The CDC guidelines have been proven wrong by the SA patient they let go because..2 negative tests let them go and they turned around and got sick anyway.

Does the judge not know that ?

Since California is so filthy the plague broke out there a few months ago, this is hardly surprising.

So, what will happen tomorrow (Super Tuesday, Mar. 3)? Will the stock market keep rebounding as Bernie gets hammered (if he does) while coronavirus keeps spreading? Or will it re-reverse and head back down?

Get real, Bernie has nothing to do with it. Even Donald wasn't that dumb when he said he, just playing dumb to try to score partisan argument perception points. Bernie's ideas are not new, and he won't even be the nominee anyway.

Coronavirus is what's on every investor's mind right now, period. It's a rare event that is threatening global recession. That's what drive the market dive, and that's what will drive another round of this goes from bad to worse.

For those willing to spend an hour, a good video from C-Span today with Dr. Scot Gottleib - former FDA Commissioner under Trump for two years. He's covered a lot of what we've discussed here - and repeated, contrary to what many believe, that this is NOT the 'flu' virus as we know it and it certainly is not a cold, and presents a graph of what could be the exponential spread of this virus - also the likelihood it will return again.

Also talks about stand-alone medical facilities being allowed to develop their own tests - and the eventual development of a vaccine. Because this is a 'novel' virus, the usual flu "platforms" to develop a vaccine cannot be used, which is why a vaccine for mass distribution won't be available for 12-18 months.

A long, wide-ranging interview and informative.

My only quarrel - he's still going, more or less, with a 14-day quarantine - which we know probably isn't long enough.

Exactly. Wealth is being destroyed when factories are idle. Apply all the philosophy and economics you want to it, but producers not being able to produce is a core market indicator.
