John Rubino: Coronavirus Spreading Like Wildfire; Central Banks Will Cut Rates

Something bad was always going to happen. Whether this is it or not, we don't yet know. This virus is contagious before the symptoms show up. With people traveling all over the world, there's no way to contain it. It's already having an impact. China is already on lockdown and there's been rioting Hong Kong over plans to place victims in public housing. Closing down of international trade could result and that will cause central banks to cut rates.
