As always, media likes to hype everything BUT now that CDC issued a warning against all nonessential travel to China, ups and fdx might not have a whole lot options available to them?

=10ptWhat we are covering here
  • Rising toll: 106 people are dead and more than 4,515 cases have been confirmed in mainland China, as the Wuhan coronavirus continues to spread throughout Asia and the rest of the world.
  • China on lockdown: Nearly 60 million people have been affected by partial or full lockdowns in Chinese cities as the country's government steps up its response.
  • Global spread: There are 62 confirmed cases in 17 places outside of mainland China, including at least five in the United States.
  • Travel advisories: The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention raised its travel precautions for China to its highest of three levels: "Warning."
  • Investigating transmission: People can spread the virus before symptoms show, China's health minister said Sunday, but US experts say there is no clear evidence this is happening.

I think the company will call our travel essential. If we are lucky they might throw in some face masks.
