German government has just announced new measures to curb the spread of #covid19 through physical distancing. I’ll post a quick rundown and you can find the government’s press release in German here: bundesregierung.de/breg-de/aktuel…
They make a point right at the start of what will stay open (yes, that’s where we are at now):
pharmacies, supermarkets, gas stations, banks, post offices, hairdressers, and the like. In fact, they will now be allowed to open on Sundays (generally not allowed here).
What will close? Museums, theatres, operas, gyms, playgrounds, zoos, cinemas, brothels, concert halls, plus many shops not mentioned specifically above. Also gatherings in churches, mosques and synagogues will be banned.

I’ve spent the last 16 hours getting back to Europe, my home and per @WHO now „the epicentre of the pandemic“. Via almost empty airports and half-empty planes I‘ve now arrived back in Berlin, a city shutting down schools, clubs, theatres, gyms, cinemas, museums.
Seeing this, it‘s hard not to marvel at the awesome power that 30,000 letters of nucleic acid have unleashed, what a little set of genetic instructions can do to this fragile, interconnected world we‘ve built.
The possibility was always there, of course. Many of us have written about it over the years. And yet, looking back little more than 10 weeks ago, when China announced a cluster of unusual pneumonia cases, it is hard to grasp how fast this tiny virus has changed our world.

Hi, this is @kevinpatterson. I’m a critical care doctor; I work in an ICU on Vancouver Island, and in the Arctic on the west coast of Hudson Bay. I’ve been thinking a lot about the history of pandemics lately, for all the obvious reasons—and also, about February 15. 1/11
Only six weeks ago, in the last days of January, Wuhan, China was seeing thousands of new cases a day. The hospitals were overwhelmed, and 14% of nurses became infected. It got pretty Dantean. 2/11
On January 23, China imposed draconian public health measures to try and halt the spread. At that point, there had been 517 #COVIDー19 cases in Wuhan, and 17 deaths—on both counts, fewer than America has right now. 3/11

@DrTedros "As of 6am GVA time this morning, #China has reported a total of 75,567 cases of #COVID19 to WHO, including 2,239 deaths.

In the past 24 hours, 🇨🇳 has reported 892 new confirmed cases and 118 deaths"-@DrTedros #coronavirus
@DrTedros "The significant 📉 in confirmed cases is partly due to another change in the way 🇨🇳 reports numbers.
Last week 🇨🇳 started reporting clinically-diagnosed cases, in addition to lab-confirmed cases. They have now switched back to reporting suspected & lab-confirmed cases"-@DrTedros

🇨🇳 #China (1) | The question is no longer if, but how hard, the #coronavirus will damage Chinese economy (and its trading partners) in 1Q20.
🇨🇳 #China (2) | A blockage of 16 cities (~50 million people) coupled with the extension of the Lunar New Year holiday and prohibition for Cos to return to work soon implies that 1Q will fall below 6% for the first time since QoQ figures are recorded.
🇨🇳 #China (3) | The impact will probably broaden from retail sales, tourism/transportation...

#China #OBOR #OBI #SouthAfrica
China’s interest in South Africa represents a strategic addition to the New Silk Road, sometimes referred to as the One Belt One Road (OBOR ) or One Belt Initiative (OBI). Not only is it a step in the initiative, it also has some natural resources that China would like to access.
"As China has done many times before, they are using a country’s “value” over the cost of the investment. One only needs to look at countries that are indebted to China for funding/backing loans that finance “Infrastructure Projects,” to understand the dynamic."
