Interesting. I've had a number of readers here state that the Coronavirus wouldn't affect the global economy. Now we see this. The dominoes are falling. First Japan, now S. Korea. We can expect to see Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, The Phillipines and others affected soon.
What should be concerning for many is that stuff like this has ripple effects. From the potential for instability in less developed nations to changing the outcome of elections in the first world (like the presidential election in the US).

White House does not trust info coming out of China with regard to Coronavirus...
“The @WhiteHouse said this week it does ‘not have high confidence in the information coming out of #China’ regarding the count of #coronavirus cases, a senior administration official told @CNBC.” https://t.co/yAeNxfNDN0— Andrew Erickson 艾立信 (@AndrewSErickson) February 18, 2020
Hmm.
We know that China likes to put lipstick on pigs.
What if things are much worse than we're being told? What if the numbers that are being released are only the tip of the iceberg?
This should be another datapoint to consider when we think about this thing.
