US/China Lawyer Malcolm McNeil (interviewed on FoxBiz, moments ago) saying chances of businesses re-opening, any time soon, is completely up in the air.
Asked why Tesla, and other cos are re-opening....
He said it’s probably some attempt at creating vision of stability....
Liz C then says...GM is getting ready to re-open, in China....what advice would you give to GM, over this?
McNeil: I would tell them that they better reconsider their liability, over this....
He also mentioned that he knows of one pharmaceutical company that has advised its employees not to deliver any goods/services or travel to anywhere in Asian region...so, it’s not just a China related problem...the message is...we don’t want this virus to spread to anyone in our company...and, it should be a message to other businesses.
He’s scheduled to go back to HK in March...for a trade show....he’s thinking it will likely be cancelled, since so many of the airlines have already cancelled flights, until/beyond that time.

COMMUTERS WARNING
Coronavirus can live on door handles and bus or train poles for up to nine days — more than four times longer than flu, according to new research.
It’s much hardier than common bugs – shedding fresh light on its rapid spread, say German scientists.Surfaces that are frequently touched are most likely to be harbouring the highly contagious disease — especially in hospitals or crowded Tube stations.
But the potentially deadly droplets can be destroyed within a minute simply through regular wiping with disinfectants such as Domestos (a bleach spray).
Corresponding author Professor Gunter Kampf said: “In hospitals these can be door handles, for example, but also call buttons, bedside tables, bed frames and other objects in the direct vicinity of patients, which are often made of metal or plastic.”
