Stocks are opening sharply lower on Wall Street and bond yields are sinking to more record lows as investors fear that economic damage from the spreading coronavirus outbreak will be longer than previously thought.

I guess the losses in travel & hospitality are too big to be offset by gains in healthcare (doctors, labs, pharma, medical equipment, etc).

The great thing is to buy buy buy. Buy as much as you can.
