Sooo, how woried are you about this one?  Thirty million people "quarantined" in 11 cities in China.  

News reports are saying a 5 day incubation period but transmittable during that time and from seemingly healthy people.  That makes it nearly impossible to stop.  

How bad do we think this one is likely to get?  And what are you gonna do (hunker down, sell short, invest and make a buck?)

Skeptical, honestly. Remember how everyone was so worried about SARS and MRSA and Bird Flu and Avian Flu and Ebola and Zika and what came of them? Pretty much nothing. How many millions did hospitals spend on Ebola wards in the US that never got used? How much of the panic over Zika amounted to anything other than a couple million bees getting needlessly killed off by insecticide spraying? And if this is the big one, well, history shows that Earth is due for a mass extinction event, maybe this is it and there's nothing we can do.
