Futures now -400 and change on the news that we apparently have our first untraceable case confirmed in the US, so looks like tomorrow will be another hum dinger.

It looks potentially and most likely pretty bad from my perspective - it's just a matter of time in this country.

Looks like it's already time to update my post from yesterday!
CDC confirms the first US coronavirus case of 'unknown' origin.

They don't know whether the person was in contact with one of the "travel cases" or may have traveled abroad him or herself. And they may never know, as the patient was on a ventilator when transferred to the US Davis Medical Center, which means he or she is very likely unable to communicate a travel and contact history. Consider also the possibility that someone might not admit that they have recently arrived from China for any number of reasons.
It may well be a case of what is deemed "community transmission", but as yet we don't know. I suspect such a thing has always been inevitable. What I do know is that scare mongering large font headlines are unlikely to improve things.

In an effort to focus the Coronavirus discussions we have decided to close this thread and ask that the discussion continue in the existing thread on the financial aspects of the Coronavirus.
https://www.early-retirement.org/for...ml#post2377125
We have also renamed the other 2 threads dealing with the financial, travel and health aspects of the outbreak to make them easier to find.
