suggested sales were down 30 percent or more because of the virus with 40 years in this market kim heechul has seen ups and downs through the sars and mers epidemics which lasted months. i think the korean government is acting quickly preemptively the chinese should do the same this is not something to hide i hope they react and quarantine as quickly as possible. shops are giving away free masks and restaurants increasing hygiene to reassure customers travelers are practicing safer habits. what we've done differently is that we do make sure that we're washing our hands a lot more you know they put a hand sanitizer at the museums and whatnot so we've been pacifically taking advantage of that so 3 ins worries about the economy are tempered with humanity. the chinese don't come sales will decline so i'm worried about the economic side but i'm also worried about people's health because that's the most important thing in life and how downing it will cut that i think otherwise the epidemic continues to hit stock markets as well with south korea's cost be index down 6 percent over the past 2 week
