Another Reality Is Coming 另一现实快将到来

As of February 20, 2020, 6:22 AM Pacific Time, the COVID-19 virus has infected 75775 people and 2122 deaths, most of them inside China. Confirmed infection cases have been spreading to 30 countries in the world. Among these countries/regions, situation in South Korea, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong and are most serious. These 4 countries / regions may become the new battling grounds for the virus. From February 4 to today (February 19), confirmed infection cases in the countries / region s have increased multiple folds:

Countries/ regions     February 4th     February 20th     % of increase

South Korea               11                     104                      +845%

Japan                          17                     94                        +453%

Singapore                   13                     85                        +554%
Hong Kong                12                     65                         +442%

Overnight the shocker is that Korea confirmed infections increased by 46 to 104, almost 80% increase from yesterday.  Another shocker is Iran reported 9 deaths overnight due to COVID-19, an increase of 450%.

The COVID-19 Situation is getting worse outside of China and The World Health Organization may be declaring it a Pandemic. What is a pandemic? A disease spreading to lots of people, over broad swaths of territory, will suffice to call a pandemic.  The World Health Organization defines pandemic as the worldwide spread of a new disease. The declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic is going to be another reality the US stock market is going to face.  Looks like investors are sensing that is coming because a big sell off is happening at this instant.

截至2020年2月20日太平洋时间上午6:22，全球 COVID-19病毒已感染75775人，死亡2122人，其中大多数在中国境内。确诊的感染病例已扩散到世界30个国家。在这些国家/地区中，韩国，日本，新加坡和香港的局势最为严重。这四个国家/地区可能成为该病毒的新战场。从2月4日到今天（2月20日），这四个国家/地区已确认感染病例都猛增了几倍：

国家/地区     2月4日     2月20日     增长百分比

韩国              11             104             + 845％

一夜之间，令人震惊的是，韩国确诊感染人数增加了46至104，比昨天增加了近80％。另一个令人震惊的是，伊朗报告说有9人因COVID-19死亡，隔夜死亡人数增加了450％。

在中国境外，COVID-19的情况正在恶化，世界卫生组织可能快将宣布其为大流行病毒。什么是大流行病毒？这种疾病在大片地区蔓延到许多人，足以称为大流行病毒。世界卫生组织将大流行定义为一种新疾病的全球传播。将COVID-19宣布为大流行病毒将是美国股市将要面临的另一个现实。投资者似乎感觉到了它的即将到来，因为此刻股市正在被抛售中。
