Executive summary (February 11, 2020)
2019-Novel Coronavirus Acute Respiratory Disease (COVID-19) has caused over 44,000 confirmed cases and over 1,100 deaths as of February 11, 2020.
About 99% of the cases have been in China. The transmission rate appears to be 1.5-2x higher than the flu, but may fall with public health measures. About 20% of
cases have required hospitalization, and 0.1-4% of all confirmed cases have been fatal. A robust Chinese and global response has helped slow disease spread.
China is attempting to resume economic activity in waves, as migrant workers (>15M in Shanghai and Beijing alone) return back from the Lunar New Year
holiday. The first priority is infrastructure, basic supplies (food, water, electricity, gas, communications, transport, government), & medical supplies. The government is
allowing factory restarts if they can ensure a safe working environment and adherence to stringent processes, incl. checking employee travel & exposure history.
This will likely lead to a restart of manufacturing activity, but may take weeks. Other than Hubei (518 cases per million inhabitants), all of China’s other
provinces have less than 20 cases per mission. China appears to be betting that this relatively contained number will not worsen dramatically with a controlled restart
of its factories. For instance, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Tesla are all restarting their China plants before February 14. This will help mitigate the impact of
the outbreak on supply chains globally in the automotive sector. However, full productivity may prove elusive: Some returning workers are subject to 2-week
quarantines; schools from KG to university remain closed – a challenge to working parents; personal concern about the outbreak remains high, amplified by the
death of Dr. Wenliang; public travel and return to work could drive a spike in new cases, which will significantly set back the restart. New rules to avoid contact
between workers (no meetings, lunchtime rotas, work from home) will affect productivity.
In addition to evaluating a restart, some manufacturers are temporarily moving their manufacturing, but most companies are focused on a smooth
restart vs. evaluating supply alternatives. Some manufacturers are shifting temporarily to Southeast Asia (e.g., Philippines) to account for a short-fall in their
production, but there is a limited ability to do this because lower SE Asian factory capacity and component customization makes the Chinese supply base sticky
In our base case, China sees a partial recovery: Supply chains restart but the service sector remains dampened. Manufacturing may return over the next 4-6
weeks but the service sector (e.g., retail, transport) will remain dampened – possibly until May – until personal concerns are alleviated sufficiently for public
gatherings to resume. We believe that personal concerns will remain elevated until some combination of the following conditions occurs: Case growth remains at
current levels in spite of migrants’ return and factory restart; existing drug cocktails prove to be effective; case growth peaks; fatality rates are confirmed to be lower
than current estimates and more comparable to the flu.
What companies need to do: Besides the basics on protecting employees & following health advisories, now is the time to establish a systematic nerve center to
respond to the crisis. The first task of this center is to assess the company’s financials in the potential scenarios, and ensure that there is a robust response for
supply chain, inventory management, working capital & balance sheet management. Next, the company should consider establishing a portfolio of tactics based on
clear triggers for when to act. On the supply chain side, a number of quick actions may be needed: for instance - Optimize limited production determining highest
margin and highest opportunity cost / penalty production, Pre-booking air freight or rail capacity, look to ramp up now on alternative sources if supplies are in Hubei,
watch for extending lead times to gauge performance and capacity against supplier promises, use after sales stock as bridge to keep production running

Key factors that will influence the containment and

Differentiating factors relative to the SARS epidemic in 2003 (not exhaustive)
Exacerbating factor
Clinical effects Faster spread of cases - within 5-week window, the total number of cases had already surpassed the total case counts for SARS-CoV
(which occurred over 6-7 months) and MERS-CoV cases (which spanned years) Mitigating factor
(biological)
Increased individual mobility with higher population density (relative to 2003) likely to increase spread
Asymptomatic transmission might be possible; it did not occur with SARS-CoV and was rare (but did occur) with MERS-CoV; no
confirmed evidence of airborne transmission
Total economic impact of
Healthcare system significantly improved in China since SARS, with increases in public funding for health, improved access to
healthcare and modernization of the healthcare infrastructure COVID-19 dependent on:
Improvements in genome sequencing assets, enabling rapid characterization of the virus (e.g., identifying and quarantining the Effectiveness and speed of
origin, tracking genetic changes during the epidemic) control measures (e.g.,
Improvements in vaccine development technology and creation of Coalition of Epidemic Preparedness Innovations “CEPI”, the containment)
leading vaccine development group that led (and funded) the development of the vaccine for MERS

China as significantly larger contributor to global economic growth today vs 2003 (4% vs. 16% share of global output); Wuhan was Headwinds (e.g., supply chain

hospitality, tourism, aviation, luxury goods) that suffered the most during the SARS outbreak; in general, greater economic fragility corporations, criticality of
suppliers in Hubei)
Aggressive actions to curtail spread of COVID-19 at a scale never seen before in history – e.g., restrictions on travel, school /
restaurant / company closures; effective quarantine of over 50M people
Governments
Early recognition of importance of data sharing, evidenced by more openness in rapid publication and dissemination of information
(e.g., viral genome)
Likely underreporting of cases given challenges in data collection, shortage of testing kits and reagents in Hubei
Medical supplies, beds, facilities in short supply, exacerbated by lockdown preventing supplies from reaching hospitals; quick actions
taken (e.g., building two additional hospitals in <10 days) likely insufficient to meet demand
