A lot of global trade can be blocked by a significant pandemic. And a massive rise of cases worldwide would put a huge strain on all the medical and financial resources. It is believed that the number of those infected in China is vastly greater than they have claimed. There is a projection that the number is over 100,000. And that China's closed system of aid and prevention being controlled and coordinated solely by its central government can't efficiently handle the problem. So that the spread of the disease could be quicker and much larger than anticipated.
That may not happen, but the fear of it can have an impact on investors.
