Figured I'd start a thread on this because the impact has substantial consequences if not already it's made. To the best of my knowledge on this the virus is transmitted from animals to humans 1st. The epicenter is China with the city of Wuhan the culprit, food markets apparently. I've heard references of snakes and bats to other animals being involved with this passing it on, and then of course, humans passing it on.
Much of China's cities are on lockdown due to it spreading...over 50 million people locked down. The virus is mostly a respiratory concern, especially to older or younger people being at the most risk, and even dying from it. Most of the deaths are in China with handfuls throughout other countries now being afflicted.
The virus seems to have a long incubation period, as much as two weeks making it tough to screen. Although you will see many people wearing masks, it seems touch might be the main way to transfer it. Doctors are saying wash your hands, avoid touching your face etc. A medical cure for this is roughly 12 months out, at best.
President Trump has ordered screening at 20 US airports, Airlines are cancelling flights into China. Disney closed it's theme park there. Hotel and casino companies, travel and recreational companies like Royal Caribbean are seeing the effects. The stock market is a bit on edge right now.
If there is any good news, the virus may not be as fatal as other virus's. But it is still early to say, as this virus initiated in China where information can be a bit foggy to come out.
