Removing fear in the market and world economy is a different kettle of fish to statistics.
Ask Europeans, they think the probability of getting done over by a shark in Oz or a spider or a snake are much much much much much higher than been in a car accident. When it comes to fear, people have a different perspective on probability theory - world markets have been feared because of the spread outside China since my Jan post btw, i.e. look at Italy and it has shutdown virtually its soccer season last week and soccer is a religion in Italy- it will be sorted out but for traders/short termers tomorrow is a long way away, even if tomorrow is two weeks away.
Yes like SARs they will bring this under control, but removing fear is a different kettle of fish and that takes a little longer. Not an issue for explorers btw because it will have little impact on FA and timeline to mining, on the assumption it will be brought under control in the next few months, but until then markets will be volatile. It is teh way it is and the best thing they can do is work to the cure, as any death to the virus means a family has lost a member (and that is always sad).
All IMO
