Dear @fucho80

I've been following news about corona virus literally every day and my concern is growing. Wuhan economy is surely going to be hit very hard and I'm curious what will happen once lunar new year is over. Will factories be re-opened or continue being shut down?

Seriously, difficult times ahead of us. I also was wondering if China will be able to affort to support Maduro financially. Without their help - he won't be able to pay army for their "loyalty". Which can be a game changer for entire Venezuela.

Would't you agree?

In the midst of this situation today they celebrated the start-up of a hospital built specifically for patients infected with the virus.
I wonder, what happens if a virus like this appears in some Latin American country? What answer would I have if it appeared in Venezuela?

Indeed - venezuela would be doomed.

One thing that I admire is Chinese reaction time. Building similar hospital in europe would take months. It would actually take weeks to have 'construction plan' approved. I strongly believe, that similar outbreak in europe would be so much more painful and out of control. Hopefully we won't get to that point.
