The wonderful videos of flash mobs in #Italy singing in solidarity from balconies during #COVID19 lockdown, sent me searching for videos I was sure came out of #China during quarantine lockdown in Feb. This is #Wuhan: Wuhan Jiayou! Come on Wuhan!

And this is BBC story about it bbc.com/news/av/world-…
Always look for love and solidarity, even and especially during the most difficult times. These are some videos from #Italy #COVID19

Why are Americans like this? When it’s not #RedRobin woman, it’s the FUCKING GOVERNOR OF OKLAHOMA.

#COVID19 is not a terrorist attack. You’re not showing us how “brave” you are. You’re showing us how selfish you are.
Asked about the 20% jump in new #CoronaVirus cases in one day, #Italian officials cite “irresponsible behavior of many citizens...” h/t @kitzfuhel
#Italy has logged its biggest day-to-day jump in cases: officials “cited irresponsible behavior by many citizens, who despite the earlier warnings not to gather in large numbers, headed to beaches or ski resorts, and hung out together in town squares”

I decided to make a thread because what's happening in Italy right now is amazing.
It's warming my heart and giving me hope that also during a quarantine, people can comforting each other through music.

In Turin, dancing the Macarena:
#Covid_19 #COVID19 #coronarvirusitalia
Around Salerno:
In Siena, they are singing "Viva la nostra Siena, la più bella delle città" that means "Long live to our Siena, the most beautiful of the cities"

🇨🇳 #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 backtracked on nearly all aspects of #US trade deal - All of us that follow & know China knew that this was never going to fly. You can't negotiate with a rogue, predatory state like China. This is for the better. mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
The diplomatic cable from Beijing arrived in Washington late on Friday night, with systematic edits to a nearly 150-page draft trade agreement that would blow up months of negotiations. The document was riddled with reversals by China that undermined core US demands, sources said
In each of the 7 chapters of the draft trade deal, China deleted its commitments to change laws to resolve core complaints that caused the US to launch a trade war: theft of US IP & trade secrets; forced tech transfers; competition policy; access to financial services, etc, etc.
