China may be “up and running”, but it’s still not “well.”

It’s not up and running at all. Propaganda spoon-fed by their MSM lackeys.

Yep, they know we are onto there completely fraud numbers (even a child can see those numbers shouldn’t be higher than Italy. So they have to go to second outbreak to catch the numbers up “Closer” to where they should be. I was wondering when they would finally do it.

MSM ran Iranian state propaganda as well last year

they report that everything that Trump says is a lie and propaganda but they wouldn’t dare backtalk their Communist and Islamonazi betters.

People are looking at this all wrong. You can’t physically stop the spread of this virus. You are going to be exposed to it. Just accept that as fact. And you are going to become “infected” with it. There is nothing you can do to stop it. At that point, one of four things will happen:

1. You will not notice it at all
2. You will get mild symptoms
3. You will get sick and have a bad time for a while
4. You will die

Until there is either a “herd immunity” or a vaccine, that’s just how it is.

Period.

The way it’s starting to blow up here, yes. It will get back to China. The cases numbered below will take time to resolve to the other two statistics.

United States

Cases 213,010

Deaths 4,749

Recoveries 8,805

In this case the numbers coming out have been improving. I was just reading from the Port of Hamburg that their teu’s are almost at 90 of what it was.

What appears to be stuck is the distribution of imports into Shanghai. They added 200,000 teu’s of storage in the area.

It doesn’t indicate if there are no buyers, no factories or transportation.

(This feels like an MBA research strategic/planning project.)

You realize this was about shipping numbers? Right?

They are burning through the back log from inventory on the docks, and they are not distributing stuff coming in.

SSDs have been going up in price. Virus related reasons is my guess.
But good news/ I have been tracking this Silicon Power 512GB SSD. It peaked at $61 and is now down to $58.

Well they sealed a lot of people up in their own homes.

But they left a food slot. If they forgot to bring the food, a lot of people would have been in trouble.

Many. Certainly not just the virus doing the killing. Hong Kong has settled down. China is evil.
