      1/2 This is something we've been discussing for some time: Evidence from China shows while manufacturing has restarted, consumer activity hasn't rebounded. Partly it's reduced consumer confidence, but people are also afraid of viral spread and staying homehttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/28/business/china-virus-economy-consumption.html?referringSource=articleShare …

      Can we hope to reduce viral spread more effectively than China has? That seems unlikely. Even if they're lying about their numbers, they seem to be very focused on the problem.
