Is this happening across the Globe? Or just a localised situation in the affected country.

Similarities between the Swine Flu & the Lower Rents for Landlords- This does not reflect the commercial / retail industry alone but across the board for all properties. Physical Properties & Equities - Too little with Too Much Where shall it be invested in? Reits? Local Companies? Developers? In this situation where we see the H1N1 aka Swine Flu first infecting the host country ( due to toxic habits) & then being 'transported' by global travellers, the same is also happening to our financial world economy. Should we be surprised by the manufacturing output being slow? Should we be surprised by slower consumer purchases?  Should we be surprised by lesser consumer pressence? In my country like Singapore, we are the financial hub for the Asean region with neighbouring countries with huge natural resources. Does this impact the way Funds flow to Singapore from developed countries?  Can we trust the current normal system & what can be done
