From an article I ran late last night, depending upon if China's being honest, the number infected is beginning to slow. Specialist say it should start to diminish over the next couple of months as weather conditions improve and are less favorable to the virus to grow. As long as they can contain the spread in the next couple months the damages will be temporary, I hear the auto industry is starting to slow because of it but automobiles sales are vital to the economy new car sales aren't a necessity one can't wait a month or two to buy, like food and water. I am sure the government stock piles enough essential food supplies to hold people over for a few weeks if it comes to something of that nature. In the meantime they have been infusing cash into the stock market which isn't a good thing but it's better than letting it crash as that will come with a whole new host of problems. People will find alternate vendors for things like nails it'll just take them a little extra time to locate, order and deliver. Hopefully by next year they'll have a vaccine that is more than just in the early stages as quoted this morning, there probably won't be much of an objection by some in China willing to be early test subjects by passing here what would take two years to get accomplished. Unlike in some foreign countries here there will also be available unemployment compensation to those effected, for others though who make similar products here they should see a up tick in business which may help alleviate some of the economic losses.
