[QUOTE="Nik, post: 198198, member: 1"] One part of this outbreak to watch for is how China has handled it. After initially hiding it they had a major crackdown and military style quarantine descend on 60+ million people. The virus has now peaked over there and China could well be the safest place to be to avoid infection shortly. Extrapolating some data, the peak was reached within ~60 days with extreme quarantine conditions. My guess is we will see longer periods before it goes into recession on account of a much slower and less draconian response here and in the US. Countries in Europe (not just Italy) are trying to action everything they can to combat this. You get a ticket when you leave your house without a reason. On a more optimistic note though some pills that treat the symptoms (note NOT the anti-viral vaccine that's at least 2 years away IF it ever comes) may be out in the market within 30-60 days. Also weather is getting warmer which will play a small factor into this and the world is much more educated and prepared than it was 60 days ago. The enemy is always inaction and hoping for the best. So while I really hate these closures a 2 month pause on life is much better than sitting back and watching it unfold. I personally think we're looking at a 2 month pause ahead of us that just started. [/QUOTE]
