There will _definitely_ be a worldwide epidemic.

China is losing millions every day, aside from psychological credit, as people want nothing to do with China.

(Anecdotally, the local shoe outlet claims that the kids shoes for at their brand will be manufactured in Thailand from next week.)

The Chinese can solve their disadvantage by either eliminating the virus, or by making sure other countries have it as well. (No point in going to Thailand if they are also getting sick.)

Elimination doesn't seem to be going as well as hoped for.

The Chinese government doesn't have a reputation of caring about other people, or human rights.

What are the chances it won't be breaking it out worldwide?
