One of the doctors in a Wuhan hospital has just died.


70,000 theaters shut down
Disneyland shutdown
40+ million in quarantine
29 out of 31 Chinese provinces have infected
No travel agencies allowed to book any tours or trips in any region of China
Roads being blocked with dirt/rocks
Chinese officials with assault weapons in hazmat suits guarding transportation hubs in Wuhan.
Seems like a lot for 1300 people or in other terms 0.0001083 of Chinese population.
I heard a Mongolian citizen say they were shutting down transport there as well as schools and businesses.
Something just doesn't sit right, this virus incubates for 14 days so we probably have a lot more numbers to come.

China launches high-tech bird drones to watch citizens
For those not interested in either politics or technology, you may not have heard of China's notoriously controlling government rolling out a massive surveillance system to enforce their new social credit initiative. What this does is provide everybody with a score or grade, based on everything they or close family members do, say, purchase, etc. Everything they can track, they will. Having a sub-optimal social score will result in losing certain privileges, such as getting a bank loan, traveling, education, or employment.

Prevention

Wow... that might be the world's biggest cheeseburger ever!

Oh it isn't just Lebanon who are is desperate for USD. It's the entire world.
 
Hong Kong is China's main way of getting USD since Hong Kong is an important area of trading with USD.
 
The repo markets are going absolutely insane with the Fed selling mortgage backed securities and buying treasuries from banks:  

US banks need cash as well. It's a lot closer to home than some would suspect. It's most likely at your own bank.
