Executive summary (February 14, 2020)
2019-Novel Coronavirus Acute Respiratory Disease (COVID-19) has caused close to 67,000 confirmed cases and over 1,500 deaths as of February 14, 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 from the Lunar New Year holiday.
The first priority is infrastructure, basic supplies (food, water, electricity, gas, communications, transport, government), and medical supplies. The government is allowing
factory restarts if companies can ensure a safe working environment and adherence to stringent processes, including checking employee travel and exposure history.
This will likely lead to a restart of manufacturing activity but it may take weeks. Other than Hubei (where there are 518 laboratory-confirmed cases per million
inhabitants), all of China’s other provinces have fewer than 20 laboratory-confirmed cases per million. 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 planning to restart their China plants
before February 14. Such actions will help mitigate the impact of the outbreak on automotive supply chains globally. However, full productivity may prove elusive: Some
returning workers are subject to 2-week quarantines; schools remain closed – a challenge to working parents; personnel concerns 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
versus supply alternatives. Some manufacturers are shifting temporarily to Southeast Asia (e.g., Philippines) to account for a shortfall in their production, but there is a
limited ability to do this due to lower Southeast Asian factory capacity and high degree of component customization, which 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 personnel concerns are alleviated sufficiently for public gatherings
to resume. We believe that personnel 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 and following health advisories, now is the time to establish a systematic nerve center to
respond to the crisis. The first task 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 and balance sheet management. 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: e.g., optimize limited production determining highest margin and highest opportunity cost / penalty
production, pre-book air freight or rail capacity, look to ramp up now on alternative sources if supplies are in Hubei, monitor lead times to gauge performance and
capacity against supplier promises, use aftersales stock as bridge to keep production running.

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)
