I guess ignorance is bliss. Some people would rather gouge out their own eyes that acknowledge some basic facts. What a bunch of worthless dumbasses.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
It maybe due to the local politics there.

Well fuck. Clean bill of health but then a positive later.

I think China's current situation can be summed in one word: OUCH
As for Iran, this is another situation that will need to be watched closely. I don't see their current healthcare system as being much better than China's, if at that.

Smartphone shortages imminent as major Samsung plant shuts down in ROK over confirmed coronavirus infection.
These real impacts are happening more and more.

This really fucks me over. I wanna get a new phone before the real shortage starts but fucking taxes and the shitty carrier providers where I live are making it near impossible to do.

Last I heard(Thursday) there were five possible cases in Brazil being monitored, but other than that, nothing.
Opinion | Don’t buy China’s story: The coronavirus may have leaked from a lab

Yup, the Dear Leader himself has given a speech yesterday about how much of a national security issue lab safety is, and the Ministry of Science has released a directive about improving it in microbiology labs...
Take that as you will.
This "Dear Leader"going by the name of "Xi Jinping" must be one of those crazy conspiracy theorist who would have you believe that the Glorious People's Republic of China's recent insignificant incident with a minor viral infection could in any way be tied to some kind of laboratory outbreak.Opinion | Don’t buy China’s story: The coronavirus may have leaked from a lab

Definitely worse than SARS since it's hasn't even been 3 months and its already causingI think a lot of people are ignoring the elephant in the room, here. If that level of decline in economic activity is the overall effect of the virus, then that means it has infected and killed far, far more than we’re being told. You don’t see 25% carbon reduction and $1.1 trillion dollars in damage for a measly 2,360 deaths. SARS wiped out $40 billion in value and it took it almost a whole year. COVID-19 has only been a major public health issue since late January when the quarantining in Wuhan began. About one month, and $1.1 trillion has already been wiped out?
Yeah. It’s much, much worse than we’re being told.
This much chaos.
Well, shit, hopefully mine doesn't give out any time soon.

I thought that those figures were the estimated damage over the course of the next year, not the damage that's currently present. Essentially locking down the whole country for half the year has the fact they're reporting that as expectations seem honestly hopelessly naive.

See, this is where I'm a bit skeptical. I'm not disputing everything that's getting said there, but the moment said poster says "You should invest in X and Y" has my personal BS detector going off. Anytime there's a legit crisis or a looming crisis there will always be the hucksters who love to come out and peddle their wares, conspiracy theories, etc. whether for political power, monetary gain, fame, etc. They are attracted to unfortunate events like these like flies to shit, Alex Jones being an infamous example. I'm not saying to dispute all news or rumors, the fact we're able to get bits of information from sources other than the Soviet Pravda-style crap from the CCP should speak for itself, but even that has to be treated carefully as it doesn't always portray a full picture. We have to be able to read between the lines without drowning ourselves in endless paranoia and conspiracy mongering.
And for the record, as I stated I work in a very busy city hospital, if this thing hits my area and there's a reasonable chance it could, me and my coworkers are gonna be on the frontlines of this thing, so I'm not dismissive of the threat at all. It's okay to be afraid, fear is a natural response to crap like this, everyone here knows life isn't sunshine and rainbows. But use that fear productively, and make sensible preparations. Be sure to practice VERY GOOD hygiene, as in frequent washing of hands, especially before eating and drinking, and boost your immune system with some extra vitamin c pills or citrus fruit, I cannot stress this enough. Also exercise a little extra caution in large public gatherings and cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough, and see a doctor if you don't feel well. Also practice good hygiene and sanitation at home and frequently wash your clothes and linen. Simple steps like this go a long way.
I reiterate what CurtisLemay said, and I hope he doesn't mind me paraphrasing him: It's okay to be afraid, but don't panic. Panic is what kills people, panic is what makes people do half-assed and very stupid things, I've been there and done that myself.

I always wanted to try my hand at the stock market. Maybe I should invest some money on Bayer or something. Go on Ms. Corona-Chan's Wild Ride with a smile and all.
It has really accelerated now. Italy is the canary in the coal mine now. As soon as that place shuts down we know that this isn't just a case of Chinese infrastructure and hygiene being shit. It will go wild.

Hmmmm... I might just copy you my guy. Looking into some companies who have done viral research and who own HIV patents and such later on.
The real problem is that 1: I am poor 2: Even if I wasn't I use BRL as currency which is quite weak. Still I should be able to snipe a few shares.
Oh that's not because of the deaths themselves. That's because of the effects of all the lockdowns.
Lockdown = people don't go to work = businesses don't work = there is nothing to transport = no power and fuel used. Since quite some time, slightly over a quarter of China's population is under some variation of a lockdown.
Global recession fears as China quarantines MILLIONS over coronavirus
THERE ARE fears disruption caused by the coronavirus could spark a global recession due to disruption to the Chinese economy.

Funny how closely these things add up, around 400m out of total 1440m people under some level of quarantine, 25% carbon emission reduction, mostly in transport and industry energy use. Quarantined people use some energy, but on the other hand a lot of businesses that don't have their workers quarantined are unable to function anyway, because their suppliers, customers, or transport routes aren't working.
And that's exactly why China is shifting to a "damn the virus, the factories must resume work" policy.

The one good thing out of this whole outbreak happening would be the Chinese Communist government finally collapsing and a truly democratic government taking the reins.
