Coronavirus accelerates in China

It ain’t pretty in the daily update:

4,295 cases globally, most in China;
855 critical;
106 deaths;
mortality rate up again near 4%.
30k sick under observation in China alone.

Much faster than SARS. Clearly out of control.

S&P futures are, of course, up.

Amazing.
