Well,the economic consequences might occur regardless even if we contain the virus to China mostly. We already have a pretty robust response in place. What’s next? Sever all flights with China and all the other infected countries? I agree this could be Trump’s undoing if it gets out of hand but is it time to impose panic inducing measures now? Time will tell.

Far better to overreact than not.

Something like 85% to 90% of the flights to China are gone already, as no one will fly there. So it’s just a matter of grounding the rest, so we don’t also end up with a “Love Boat”, like they have in Japan now.
