Feb.07 — The spread of the coronavirus continued to grab the headlines, with its fallout threatening the global economy. SARS was a killer. Both literally and economically. SARS killed almost 800 people in 2003. It also knocked two full percentage points off China’s growth. Current travel restrictions are also much wider than those imposed in 2003. So if the outbreak is contained quickly growth that might be hammered in the first quarter could recovered later in 2020. That would put full-year growth at 5.7%, two-tenths of 1% below Bloomberg’s original forecast.
