Of course that presumes those numbers are valid. Can we trust CHINA to be honest and report accurately?
What world government is ever honest about anything?
Maybe it's already in the millions. Who knows? I doubt they would be OVERSTATING it don't you? I mean gubments LIE about good things and this is not one of them. So if any lying is going on it is massively understating it.
What does this do to the Chinese economy? When and at what level does the Coronavius stop growing and start receding? Its economy allegedly was growing at the rate of 6% as the new year began but now it is allegedly anywhere from 0% to 1%. How does that translate into millions/billions/trillions of dollars of value gone?
How does it affect the US imports from China? Not to worry or big big worry? What about the economy in YOUR country? Do you trade with China massively import/export or very little?
