🔆Crónica de una victoria “atípica”

Ella es mi nonna, se las presento. La mujer más increíble que conozco.
Le dieron su alta médica después de derrotar a este terrible virus.
Tiene 99 años y está historia #Covid

Todo empezó con una visita al médico para tratar un tumor de piel en la nariz.
Fue un miércoles, fuimos con todas las precauciones posibles.Esto fue por allá del 18 de marzo
4 días después de la nada,fiebre ligera y tos.Pensamos que podía ser una infección urinaria ¿pero la tos?

⛔️Al día siguiente, el lunes 23 mucha tos y mucha fiebre. La llevamos con mucha angustia a consulta con un excelente Dr. Neumologo
Los rayos x mostraban una neumonía complicada, con infiltraciones bien definidas.
TODOS los síntomas clínicos coinciden con #SARSCoV2 #Covid19

Currently, economic recovery depends on two factors: 1. duration of the pandemic; 2. damage to the production capacity: new.cf40.org.cn/uploads/202005… #NovelCoronavirus #COVID19 #economics

Recovery means reconnecting interrupted supplies and demands. Restoring demands, instead of expanding demands as some suggest, is the top priority at the moment.

One reality of economic growth amid the pandemic: the economy is shifting from conventional growth model to the "anti-epidemic growth model", meaning it’ll be always necessary to devote some resources to tackling the virus, making it impossible to achieve potential growth rates.

#CF40 #MACROECONOMIC POLICY REPORT The Great Depression and Roosevelt’s New Deal by senior fellow Zhang Bin: new.cf40.org.cn/uploads/ZB2020… #COVID19 #novelcoronavirus #economics

The #GreatDepression and Roosevelt’s #NewDeal are very precious historical treasures, of enduring significance to future generations as to avoid great depressions, carry out relief programs,reinvigorate economy &implement reforms.Key measures for the current crisis may include:

1. Maintaining credit growth and preventing deflation are cure for avoiding severe depression. The excessive tightening of credit led to the Great Depression, which ended following the restoration of credit, and economy could not recover from the Great Depression without help.

The novel coronavirus is wreaking havoc on China and the global economies, as economic activities come to a standstill and unemployment rate skyrockets. The #GreatDepression and the #NewDeal are valuable experience and lessons for the current economic situation.

“The #novelcoronavirus outbreak is far from over worldwide, so our current task is not to conclude or reflect on it. Rather, we should draw on past experiences and theories to provide reference to our policy response,” said CF40 Advisor Cai Fang in a recent article.

This article summarizes several stylized facts about the impact of the pandemic and its countermeasures: new.cf40.org.cn/uploads/202004…

1) there is no policy overreaction. According to historical experience, policy response leans toward conservative stances in most cases, and often appears to be passive in keeping with real needs. So in hindsight, there is no so-called "overreaction" in any policy response.

Everyone might not be equal in the #novelcoronavirus outbreak:
mp.weixin.qq.com/s/ZbLsFjNjERbs… #COVID19

The virus does not discriminate against any life,but the availability of immunization,treatment,recovery opportunities, and the extent of and resilience to the economic impact of the outbreak vary between rich and poor countries, and among groups of different income levels.

It’s true that in modern society, with the increase in universality and availability of medical technology, both billionaires & political elites in developed countries, and informal workers in developing countries struggling on poverty line have equal chance of getting infected.

As the #novelcoronavirus continues to spread, rolling out rescue measures is more urgent and will be more efficient than stimulus package in easing the impact of the pandemic and restoring normal economic activities, said Gao Shanwen in a recent piece: new.cf40.org.cn/uploads/202004…

In addition to public health expenditures, the article said the current policy focus should be on providing relief through compensating the affected enterprises and low- and middle-income residents and helping them maintain a healthy cash flow.

Compared with the idea of driving the economy through infrastructure construction, rescue measures can achieve much greater effects with relatively limited costs. Plus, it can help stabilize employment.

LES RUEGO!! NO HAGAN CASO DE GENTE IDIOTA COMO QUIÉN ESCRIBIÓ tweet ABAJO 👇

Quien no pueda permanecer en su casa y tenga que salir DEBE DE USAR CUBREBOCAS!!!! Úsenlo!!

Hay consenso mundial, que el principal riesgo del #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 es la transmisión entre asintomáticos

https://twitter.com/_estefaniapc/status/1249133974699548672

el principio aceptado globalmente es que la gente haga cuarentena en casa ante el altísimo riesgo de ser portadores asintomáticos del #CoronaVirus
Ante esa circunstancia uno de los métodos más efectivos para quien tiene que salir a la calle es evitar la diseminación de microgotas

De una enfermedad en la q se sabe poco, y que aún es muy pronto para tener evidencia científica irrefutable sobre tratamientos y mecanismos de prevención, la experiencia empírica internacional es el mejor soporte.

China’s macro policy response should be public-well-being-orientated amid the #novelcoronavirus pandemic, said Peng Wensheng in a recent article: mp.weixin.qq.com/s/TswuZ7IM6frm…

To cope with downward pressure on the economy, a typical policy response is easing monetary policy and fiscal expansion, but the impact of the pandemic on economy is different from past downward pressure on economic or financial cycle.

The pandemic is mainly a supply-side shock. Although demand-side shock has been seen in Europe and the US, it is not a typical demand-side shock which tends be caused by income decline, rising interest rates, etc. So the role of money to stimulate demand will likely be limited.

Though less affected than the manufacturing or trade sector, #realestate sector in China would nonetheless see changes after the #COVID19 crisis. According to Zhong Wei, #novelcoronavirus could have 8 Impacts of on China’s housing market:
cf40.org.cn/uploads/202003…

1⃣Policies concerning real estate will not go through major adjustments because of the epidemic. Even under adjusted short-term macroeconomic stimulus policies, the real estate sector will not be the main beneficiary.

2⃣The market demand for real estate is still there, only delayed. Winter is not the peak time for delivering real estate construction projects, nor is it a peak selling season.

My husband and I have experienced a traumatizing event in the past 24 hours #covid #personalstory #threadstorytime

A few days ago, we made arrangements with my husband’s sister to have their travelling mom live with us for a bit during the quarantine period immediately after her arrival. My mother in law “officially” lived with my sister in law. And the latter has an immunocompromised child.

My MIL left the country to go to France in mid January this year. She usually arranges this type of trip yearly to be with her retired sisters who live there. This year they planned to go to a pacific island with a group in early March.

A recent article by CF40 member Wu Ge on the global impact of the #novelcoronavirus and policy room: cf40.org.cn/uploads/202003…

Various indicators have shown that the impact of the epidemic on the global economy is comparable to that of the subprime mortgage crisis.

Compared with the worst period of the subprime mortgage crisis, corporate income in China in the first quarter this year will likely decline by a larger margin, especially for service sectors such as catering, tourism, retail and real estate.

THREAD (1/n)👇👇👇

Is it reasonable to call #coronavirus the “Chinese virus” or "Wuhan virus"?

Chinese Americans & refugees I queried are saying yes. But others are saying it's racist.

It originated in #China. Why is African swine fever virus named so?

But let's go deeper…

@EpochTimes

(2/n) After having massively mishandled #coronavirus in #China & hiding it for at least a month & a half, the Chinese communist party has gone into overdrive with pro-#CCP and anti-American propaganda.

Here's our own @EpochTimes thread documenting this:

https://twitter.com/EpochTimes/status/1240282587140161536

(3/n) According to the #CCP, it's a savior both internally and globally. In reality, the CCP's #coronavirus statistics are highly suspect; it's questionable has actually been contained; draconian measures were taken internally; & the #CCP's secrecy has cost thousands of lives.

#NovelCoronavirus to Survive Indian Summer, Reappear After: Researchers

📸: (Tejal Pandey/TOI, BCCL, Mumbai)

Despite many hoping that the deadly novel #coronavirus disease #COVID19 would fade away as the summer sets in, it has continued to spread across the globe in March.

Now, researchers involved in the study of the virus suggest that it is likely to survive the summer in India, and reemerge after mercury levels fall.

Along with rising concerns over the global spread of the #novelcoronavirus and its subsequent economic impact, the challenge to macroeconomic policies has also increased, according to Wu Ge: mp.weixin.qq.com/s/nR2TGFZLv8OT…

Compared with the time back in the subprime mortgage crisis, the room for policies aimed at supporting aggregate demand has significantly narrowed for many economies.

With intertwined industrial chains under globalization, the impact of the novel coronavirus will be more complicated than before. Many signs have shown that the impact of the epidemic on the global economy could be comparable to that of the subprime mortgage crisis.
