Concerns of a widening threat from coronavirus are growing as millions of Israelis are preparing to gather at polling places for national elections next week, following reports that a group of South Koreans who had visited some of the country's most popular religious and tourist spots tested positive for the infection.

A story that everyone knows is not a story anymore.

none other than China's nationalist propaganda mouthpiece, the Global Times, published a report overnight which dramatically changes the narrative, namely that a "New Chinese study indicates novel coronavirus did not originate in Huanan seafood market."

According to the brand new study by Chinese researchers published on Feb 21, the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November from a place other than the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan.

Ya I still read WSJ...China's actions are yet another example of "face" culture in action. Basically, all media outlets throughout the world are expected to say wonderful things about China, its people, and especially its government. If they say anything that is even slightly negative, then they are punished by the CCP.

North Italy Has 51 Cases; South Korea Hospital Hit: Virus Update

From what I've been told of Chinese domestic politics, there is a constant tension between the central government (the "inner CCP") and the regional and city governing bodies (which I'll call the "outer CCP" for want of a better term). When something happens, it seems that the first thing to happen is figuring out who gets the credit, or who gets blamed.

When you couple this ongoing tension with the "face" culture that is common to Asia, one can see pretty easily where things can go awry. Policy making and executive orders are given as much for appearance as for actually being effective.

- Minhang District market regulatory body as well as the district's public health department have found the retailer failed to take due public health measures, including insufficient action to prevent large crowds from forming.

GVI Forex 16:44 - it is as good a justification as any to support what 10 (1.475%) & 30 yr (1.917 %) bonds are trying to tell you (a looming recession)

There are two principal sentiment considerations:
every msm economist, politician and would-be assorted do-gooder peddle the idea that prospects, threat (promise is too harsh and banned term) and the coming about of a recession must be faught tooth n nail because ... well according to that crowd a recessionary redressing would be too sufferening for too many.

Thing is ... that things suffering are not universal - all vs none absolute: some benefit. once-in-a-lifetime outsized (huge in a short time-period) benefit.

Bottom Line
It is one's own prerogative to recognize gathering sentiment turning into trend and taking action or not. really no different from that of a 1hr chart. only the chips are bigger.

"should have"s is not a tactic. preparing to take advantage of the crowd - including the FED, currently insisting that 1.50-1.75% is appropriate and rate cut not - is.
