I can see the direct correlation between coronavirus outbreak and the economy slowdown. For example, many people refuse to go to work because it is safer stay at home. The ramifications of the outbreak are continuing to affect lives and businesses in the region. It also affected the crypto space.
The TOKEN2049 crypto conference, planned for March 17-18 in Hong Kong, has been pushed back to October.
Any kind of such harmful virus might make people fear for their lives which would hardly allow them to leave their places. Also people would avoid going in over-crowded places which might even affect the local markets. In any country, strict measures are been taken in place where such kind of virus outbreaks. Swine flu was one of such virus which made a number of people lose their lives and now the same can be seen in case of corona virus.
A strong antidote is been required in order to stop contamination which is not yet found I guess and that is what makes people fear more and care about their lives. In such situation the economic condition of china would surely be affected but it won't take much time to get their routine back to normal once antidote for such virus is been unleashed.
