Good morning Montecristo, That's ridiculous. I was a technical analyst for 29 years. Not in finance. As an investor you should know better than to call out conditions in China. Think about it, Viruses have been about long before us, in Fact they form part of all life. If a mutation was to take place, than it is statistically likely that it will take place in a region of high population, living in close proximity of each other, so that its survival rate is higher. That's simply how viruses spread. China is the most populous nation on the planet. Think about HN51 and previous viruses. The Chinese have been magnificent in their approach to containing viruses. This was always going to happen one day, and while I agree we should not panic, we need to take this seriously. This is nothing to do with people, who through no fault of their own, live in levels of poverty that we would all find unacceptable. I would appeal to anyone who posts anything about Corona virus online, to consider two things. 1st remember your humanity for your fellow human beings, and in that check your facts before posting. Secondly, and this especially applies to Columbo, Have some empathy for people who do not have the level of resources we have, and must be frightened for their family and friends, and through no thought of there own, live in some of the poorest regions in the world. This doesn't only apply to China.
