I hope it’s becoming clear to the “it’s only the flu” crowd that this disease has far reaching economic impacts far beyond the health impacts.

Take the Chile Cherries for example....Now those cherries are going to be dumped on the market at a loss. The cherry folks in Chile are going to default on their loans. The drop in prices will impact the Washington State Cherry crop—meaning workers will not be hired, acres wot be tended to, etc. then their loan money goes unpaid.

Only the people and companies that grow cherries for local consumption (or where they don’t have to be shipped) will survive.

People and companies that are too leveraged will feel the impacts of this flu without ever showing a fever!

But couldn’t France or Germany give them a lift?

Pretty sure they would have IF they were Muslims.

As most companies in China are highly leveraged, hey may not have the cash reserves to start up the production once it’s over.

And, if the death toll is higher than reported (I am being generous) they may not have the staff available to get back to normal for months.

Plus...their loans are due. I cannot imagine that Chinese bank collection efforts are tame.

The economic and health ramifications will be tremendous. It is not a hurricane like some are expecting to see, it is a slow march. Or like dominoes falling in slow motion.

Seattle and Georgia has positive tests? Do you have a source? I know they both have hundreds in self-quarantine.

You would think people so accustomed to warning us about rising sea levels would recognize the action.

Yes, but they haven’t figured out a good way to push for a tax on this one yet. Give it time ;-)

Pic from S. Korea. I would imagine you would start thinking about coffins when being placed in one of these things.

And maybe just to the hospitals for tests and evaluation if not heavily symptomatic?

This could be the source for the outbreak in S. Korea, and has a link to the church as well:

2.5 million is larger than
Dallas, San Diego, San Antonio, Phoenix, Philadelphia and Houston in 2018 numbers
can we even imagine those cities with streets deserted?

The headline said they were tested positive and were being taken to the hospital. No mention they came down with symptoms. I guess you can assume most anything.

The down is down 300 points in the last few minutes.

I guess it is settling in the Japan and Korea are next.

Idiots on FBN are talking about cases slowing down. They have no idea why the counts changed (CCP changed the counting method.)
