CNBC's update:

10:56 am: WHO says new cases in Iran and Italy are ‘deeply concerning’

While cases in China have slowed, the “sudden increase in new cases” outside of China is “deeply concerning,” Tedros said. Outside of China, there are 2,074 cases across 28 countries, including 23 deaths, he said. “What we see is epidemics in different parts of the world, affecting countries in different ways and requiring a tailored response,” he said. —Lovelace

Coronavirus death rate climbs to 3.3%, just shy of minimum estimated Spanish flu pandemic death rate 100 years ago

A minimum of 17 million died worldwide in the Spanish flu pandemic 100 years ago when 500 million globally were infected, yielding a minimum death rate of 3.4%.

The estimates of deaths go up from there, some claiming as many as 50 million or even 100 million died.

CNBC reports this morning that total infections from Wuhan, China coronavirus number 79,400 and deaths 2,621.

The numbers are puny by comparison, but the death rate is not: 3.3%.

Absent draconian restrictions on movement and assembly this virus could kill millions similar to the Spanish flu pandemic.

The new outbreaks outside the Chinese mainland will foretell the true future for the world as many doubt the veracity of the Chinese numbers, both death counts and case counts.

ICYMI, I know I did, which is how they want it: Bank failure no. 1 of 2020 occurred on Valentine's Day

Yeah, always on a Friday night, even better when it's a holiday.

It's not that the failures always happen on a Friday. It's just when the FDIC likes to pull the trigger. Put the animal down, nice and quiet like, when fewer people are paying attention.

Ericson State Bank in Ericson, Nebraska, failed on Feb 14, costing the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund $14.1 million.

The FDIC insures deposits at 5,256 banks and savings associations as of September 30, 2019, according to the latest bank failure press release from the FDIC.

There were four bank failures in 2019, none in 2018, eight in 2017 and five in 2016.
