We’re in a state of emergency. The Wuhan coronavirus outbreak has spread to all 50 states. There are over 85,000 cases, and at least 1,200 deaths. New York City accounts for nearly half of the cases, but New Orleans could be the next hotbed. Mardis Gras is to blame. In NYC, the Chinese New Year festivities were also celebrated. In both cases, the risk of exposure is through the roof. All aspects of American industry have mobilized to do their part in combating this disease. My Pillow is shifting gears, making medical masks at a rate of 10k-50k a day. Seventy-five percent of its production capacity will be devoted to this effort. Distilleries are now making hand sanitizer. Apple has a new app that screens for Wuhan virus symptoms and a website that serves as a nerve center for the latest information on the virus as well. The tech giant does stress that this rollout does not serve as a substitute for the many health protocols recommended by experts.
