the 6.8% is year on year
not month on month
month on month can well be 0% or even negative
but all seemed ok
highways full, along with restaurants and airplanes
but yes, many factories shut down, but not dissolved and will not be dissolved, because they will be needed

and many many factories on 1-2 months holidays

owner of 2009 vintage brand spaking new panamax drybulk ship for intra-regional trade are unwilling to take my us$ 1500 per day charter rate for 12-15 days, not so much because it is an insult for a ship that costs 80-100m but because he wished to hold out for a longer term charter (3-6 months) as events pick up

he took the rate when push came to shove :0)

in any case, the 1st half will be dire - think airborne ebola

expect real estate price in hk to absolutely crater - hoping so in all cases

it is all very interesting
