The World Health Organization announced it will convene an Emergency Committee under International Health Regulations on Monday, February 1, concerning the Zika virus ‘explosive’ spread throughout the Americas. The virus reportedly has the potential to reach pandemic proportions — possibly around the globe. But understandingwhy this outbreak happened is vital to curbing it. As the WHO statement said:

Scientists have discovered that planet earth and its moon are actually one planet that was fragmented into two following a violent collision that occurred over 4.4 billion years ago with a smaller planet. Metro reports: Edward Young and his team at the University of California said the orthodox belief on the origins of Earth and the Moon – that a smaller planet, Theia, grazed the Earth and send a chunk into Earth’s orbit – was false.

Thanks to BoJ's global "float all boats" NIRP-tard-ness, Chinese stocks avoided the headline of "worst month in 21 years" by rallying above the crucial 2,667 level (for SHCOMP). However, January's 23% pluinge is the worst month since October 2008 and is officially the worst start to a year in the history of Chinese stocks.

While Shanghia Composite was ugly, the higher beta Shenzhen and ChiNext indices were a disaster...

Making it the worst January ever...

So February is a buying opportunity?

The National Institutes of Health has officially declared that the Zika virus outbreak is at pandemic levels, as the World Health Organization (WHO) have warned that the virus could infect four million people in the months ahead.  The virus has spread to at least 23 countries so far, including the U.S., with 31 cases in eleven states over the last few months. Cbsnews.com reports: The virus, first discovered in the Zika Forest in Uganda in the 1940s, is linked to serious birth defects. “Questions abound,” WHO director Margaret Chan said.

The Virginia Health Department have confirmed the first Zika virus infection in an adult, sparking concern that the rapidly spreading mosquito-bourne infection may soon spread across the entire United States.  The Zika virus has been linked to microcephaly, a dangerous birth defect causing babies to be born with small heads.
