It could be that this is a natural disease.

BUT!
Having the disease start, within a stones throw of a level 4 containment / testing facility, that was working on just this sort of virus...

And then, the first govern-cement response was to hold the largest ever buffet (for good will) and hope it all blew over.

And then, quarantining a city... after so many had already left for the Chinese New Year...

It is in the realm of possibility that this is a natural disease
but we will always be left with a doubt that can't ever be filled.

This virus is not effecting the stock markets... but it will be effecting all the markets (like wallymart) very soon.
