Global equities are in rally mode again this morning on easing concerns over the impact of the coronavirus and news of possible treatments.  One number we’ve been watching closely over the last couple of weeks is the mortality rate which continues to drop.  Through the latest reported global statistics, the mortality rate has dropped down to 2.01% which is the lowest we have seen since statistics have been published.
