If my work closes down for a few months because we can't get parts from China, but I'm not infected, I still would get to not pay you rent as it is directly related to the virus. 

@Brian Nel I wish there was a crystal ball, though I think real estate agents will always say it’s a good time to buy/sell irrespective of the macro/micro situation.As per some articles that I read, impact could be like 2009-10 for Houston if the trend on virus infection and oil price continues in the same direction.

That may be your policy but what happenens when a guest travels to Your Airbnb THAT HAS THE VIRUS AND INFECTS YOUR PLACE SOMETHING CALLED KARMA!

It's infecting this forum!!!!

Nobody wants to fly to Maui on a plane with hundred's of potential infections all around but they won't mind driving 5-10 hours to the mountains.

What if 2% of the population is infected within a 2 weeks period. 

Infected cases remain relatively low in most areas across the US, but if you notice these figures are doubling every day - do the math and you can get to millions infected very quickly which will inevitably put a massive strain on our healthcare facilities (look at what is happening in Italy). 

As of February 17 2020 only approximately 1000 people contracted the virus in China, where it originated, now has become a global pandemic with 270 000 people being infected in as little as 30 days later.

Notices about washing hands, or detecting if you might be infected?

We could be battling this thing well into fall.Add alt textConfidence: Until we see new infections peak and patient-recoveries grow, I don't expect much in the way of confidence.
