EDITOR'S NOTE
There will come a time to bet on the coronavirus outbreak and that time may be Thursday when the World Health Organization meets to decide whether the outbreak has become a global health emergency.

The central bank's chairman, Jerome Powell, said the Fed is monitoring the coronavirus situation and its effects on the global economy. To be sure, it's already a human tragedy: More than 6,000 people have been infected and 132 killed.
"The situation is in its early stages," Powell said, "and it's very uncertain how far it will spread."
