Starbucks said on Saturday that the move is out of “health concerns” for its customers and employees, according to a post on China’s twitter-like Weibo.

Bit extreme for a different strain of the common flu don’t you think? We are not talking about Ebola now. Off course compromises immune systems will be susceptible to catch a virus. This is not the end of the world! Some pharmaceutical company will again coin trillions off this

Wow. Starbucks is willing to risk millions in turnover by closing stores in China? (i doubt insurance will cover the risk of disease)

Is this a bad thing? Their coffee is swill.

Seriously... WhatTookSoLong Starbucks It took a megacorp this long to decide that its shops where people congregate MIGHT be a bad idea during a plague. Just imagine how long it will take realDonaldTrump

Starbucks is a virus itself...transmitting $7 coffee American single use culture worldwide...
