The real situation in Wuhan.

https://nypost.com/2020/01/24/coronavirus-outbreak-video-shows-dead-bodies-in-halls-of-china-hospital/

There is speculation that the true situation in China is 10x more than the official numbers.

The cremation facilities in Wuhan are working 24/7 now to burn the corpses and this has been on-going for the past few days.

 If the death toll is only 490, the cremation facilities will not need to operate 24/7 for the past few days to burn the corpses.  Many corpses are piling up at the cremation facilities now.

China has acknowledged that the coronavirus has mutated.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/04/researchers-say-the-coronavirus-may-be-more-contagious-than-current-data-shows.html

OMG!  This virus will spread faster and infect more people because it is more potent now.

The regional countries are starting to blame Singapore for spreading the coronavirus.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/singapore-business-meeting-linked-malaysian-054110183.html

The regional countries are starting to blame Singapore for being a transmission hub now because SG has exported coronavirus to Malaysia and South Korea.

Look like SG is being famous for the wrong reason now.

Becareful! The stock markets are being artificially supported now!

The stock markets are artificially inflated now.  Why?

Many listed companies will suffer from declining revenues due to the coronavirus outbreak because of reduced human activities.  However, these stock prices stay elevated artificially.

When the numbers of infectious cases and death tolls keep rising, the stock markets also keep rising.  Does this make any sense at all?  This makes no sense at all because the virus outbreak has not reached its peak and there is no sign of the outbreak abating.  This is especially true when China is not providing a true figure about its infectious cases and fatality rates.

https://meaww.com/china-wuhan-coronavirus-lying-official-figure-sending-bodies-victims-cremation-eyewash-deaths

US suspended flights to Hong Kong due to local transmission.

https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/transport/major-us-airlines-add-hong-kong-to-china-flight-suspensions

Singapore also has 4 local transmission cases and 24 infected cases that surpass HK's.

Is the US going to suspend flights to SG because SG is also an air hub too?

Hangzhou is in lockdown now!

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/hangzhou-and-taizhou-cities-far-from-virus-epicentre-implement-12388714

The virus outbreak is spreading in China as more cities are in lockdown.  Hangzhou is just about 100++km away from Shanghai.

Community transmission is already happening in China!

The coronavirus human-to-human transmission has started in Singapore.

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/wuhan-virus-coronavirus-singapore-community-spread-tourists-12389314

The coronavirus human-to-human transmission has started in Singapore.

Singapore is a densely populated country and this poses a high risk for any virus transmission.

I hope that our medical practices and procedures can contain the virus transmission.

Guangzhou has fallen!

https://news.cgtn.com/news/2020-02-03/Coronavirus-detected-on-doorknob-in-S-China-s-Guangzhou-NMua1LcOWY/index.html

The coronavirus has spread to Guangzhou.

It looks like community transmission has occurred in China.

China is trying very hard to keep Beijing safe now.  All hell will break loose if Beijing cannot be free from the virus outbreak.

China can stabilize its stock markets but not the real economy.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-market-regulator-guidance/china-regulator-urges-fund-managers-not-to-sell-shares-unless-they-face-redemptions-sources-idUSKBN1ZX0C4

China is trying to stabilize its financial sector by asking fund managers not to sell stocks and also pump monetary liquidity into its financial system.  Although China will be able to rein in the financial repercussions from the virus outbreak, the real economy will be badly affected because consumption will drop into the abyss.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/china-oil-demand-plunged-20-231351018.html

China's oil demand had plunged by 20% since the start of the outbreak.

The other sectors like retail, tourism, F&B, transportation, etc, are all badly affected because the Chinese are trying to cut down on human interactions.  When there is no human activity, there is no economic value.  Any monetary or fiscal policy will be useless in stimulating the economy unless the virus can be contained or eliminated.

The whole world will be severely affected when China starts to reduce its imports significantly due to the rapid deterioration in its local consumption.

Is the January 2020 PMI an aberration?

-->

The ISM PMI rose to 50.9 in Jan 2020 primarily due to a huge increase in the new order that also led to increases in customers’ inventories and production.

The prices rose to 53.3 due to an increase in imports and a reduction in the local raw material.  This PMI might be a precursor to an improvement in the next US GDP growth.  However, the coronavirus epidemic might also thwart this turnaround.  Therefore, we need to observe the epidemic situation closely to determine if this turnaround in US economic growth will materialize in the foreseeable future or not.

Red alert - H5N1 bird flu outbreak in Hunan.

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/china-reports-h5n1-bird-flu-outbreak-hunan-wuhan-coronavirus-12381796

China has not managed to contain the coronavirus yet and H5N1 outbreak has started in Hunan.  It is estimated that the coronavirus will reach its peak in April 2020 before it subsides.

With these 2 viruses circulating in China, there is a high possibility that 1 quarter GDP growth will be wiped out in China.  It will be impossible for China to maintain a 6% GDP growth in 2020.

What happened to those cities under lockdown in China?

The markets, streets and malls are all empty and look like a ghost city.

When there is no human activity, there is no economic value.  Therefore, the 16 cities under lockdown with an estimated 60m people will be greatly impacted economically because China is a consumption-led economy now.  Furthermore, China is being increasingly ostracized by many countries as the Chinese are being denied entries.  The world is looking at China Chinese as locusts now.

There is also some speculation that the fatality rate of the coronavirus is much higher than stated because China is labelling the cause of death as visceral organ failure for those who die due to the virus.  The economic consequence will be much greater in 2020 than the SARS in 2003 because China's GDP in 2003 was only US$1.66T.  Moreover, China's economic contribution to the world is now at 39%.

The US and Thailand have reported human to human transmission cases.  Although the fatality rate is much lower than SARS, the economic impacts will be much greater than SARS since there are more people getting infected by this new virus.
