The money men are assuming the real numbers are 10X what is being reported, and they still think it won't cause major global supply chain disruptions past the next 2-3 months. What gives them the optimism is it is turning out to be more like a really bad flu in the numbers it killing. But there are a lot of folks in China, so even at the lower mortality rates, that is a lot of dead Chinese.Meanwhile the WHO would have us believe it's nothing to worry about. Beijing has been completely locked down for over a week. That cruiseship is a perfect macrocosm for the spread of this virus.
The Tencent leak has more credibility than the WHO numbers and we really ought to support the initiative in the house to allow Taiwan a seat on the WHO.
But if I was going to buy a new laptop I would go ahead and do as soon as possible.
