Bank of America analysts on the coronavirus situation in China:

  • The turnaround in China will likely take time.
  • Daily Covid-19 cases in China, at over 20,000, have risen close to the peak in April this year
  • Many people will only reluctantly re-engage due to fear of getting sick

Another point is that with folks being tracked so closely in China those that are in the vicinity of a new case risk being locked up for an extended period - another reason to limit 're-enagement'.

The mismanagement (and misinformation) in China is weighing on people's livelihood and the economy, over and over and over again.
