    Standard practice with writers covering economic topics is to relate everything to whatever the news of the day is. Good for clicks I guess.

    Yes it's a little concerning that South America and Africa aren't reporting any cases, Indonesia too. When the places least equipped to deal with this are all saying "no problem here" it at least makes you think hmmm.
    People die in these places for god awful reasons all the time but if its a virus it better cause the squirting of blood out the eyes because respiratory failure is just not inspiring. Way too common and mundane.

    For industries that rely on China it will be multi quarter (or they will use the excuse for multiple quarters) for sure. IMO them, they deserve it.

    For others, it will be a blip, as they already are deploying contingency plans like shifting production to less leveraged areas/nations, and will ramp quickly again once China is back online. And don't underestimate the power of billions of people who are trained/want/need to work to work even harder once they are back in the saddle. That is China right now, just itching to get back online.

    For companies that can't execute and haven't diversified supply chain, Darwin Award.

    Taiwan issues travel alert for South Korea as coronavirus cases soar

    https://focustaiwan.tw/society/202002200013

    South Korea and Vietnam are asking millions to stay home to avoid coronavirus as more people get infected and die outside of China

    https://www.businessinsider.com/coro...e-china-2020-2

    Have a business trip planned to Korea first week of March and was 50/50 on going up until reading this news today, pretty sure I'm cancelling now. I'm not worried about getting the virus but more worried about getting stuck in a quarantine there for weeks.

    Asian flight attendants are far more attentive, attractive, and kind than their American counterparts. It’s not even close imo.

    I don't need flight attendants to be any of those. I need them to basically drop off the drink and shut the up.

    That's exactly what I mean by attentive and kind. When I'm flying business class to Korea they've got another two bottles of Woodford on my tray before I finish my last sip. Flying business class back to the US I'm constantly pressing the button for service and even had one American try to tell me I was limited to 2 drinks per hour. I'm trying to get drunk and pass out for 8 hours ... off and fetch me another drink.

    Not a fan of Korean Air but was forced to change flights and hopped on an Airbus 380 and had the entire bar, bartender, and lounge area to myself the entire flight. Got so drunk I had to take the train from LAX to San Diego and pick my car up the next day

    Coronavirus: Chloroquine yields positive data in Covid-19 trial
    https://www.clinicaltrialsarena.com/...oroquine-data/

    Data from the drug’s studies showed ‘certain curative effect’ with ‘fairly good efficacy’.

    According to Sun, patients treated with chloroquine demonstrated a better drop in fever, improvement of lung CT images, and required a shorter time to recover compared to parallel groups.

    The percentage of patients with negative viral nucleic acid tests was also higher with the anti-malarial drug.

    "This transmission chain becomes invisible, we cannot detect these transmission chains. It’s completely out of our radar," O ani told foreign journalists in Tokyo on Wednesday. "In coming weeks we may see very large outbreak somewhere in Asia or Africa; that is my major concern now."

    Agree, but also Turkish Airlines was great on service. Flown many of them and they were near the top in terms of food quan y/quality and booze. Too bad had to fly through Istanbul, what a ty airport
