Coronavirus update, Feb. 10

The novel coronavirus outbreak has worsened since our first report two weeks ago: Infections have increased by more than 1,300%. This year, about 16% of vessel sailings from China to the West Coast were voided due to the Chinese New Year holiday, and a further 7% were voided because of the coronavirus, bringing the total to 23%.
