Perfect storm: 2% mortality rate Mar 3, 2020

While swine and bird flu did stir the global multibillion demand shaking the stock market and making countries buy obscure stuff, some epidemiologists state that fancy ‘coronavirus’ is but another ghost story, whereas economists consider it a rational explanation for increasing PRC goods prices 2x-3x-5x-10x or more... This summer I’m planning to try and buy a new Tesla or Volt, so it worries me a little.

Hopefully, it will fall in place soon.

Irina, are you really twiceshy of being a translator or just driving Lada-1600? And why exactly should I be ashamed of having three expensive cars? Your offtopic input is oddly short; nonetheless, if a modest wordsmith really can’t see the meaning, my story demonstrated that at certain moments one’s abilities, capabilities, and means is not enough to resolve the issue alone. Suddenly it is more than mere pay at all costs or else. ▲ Collapse

DZIW,

You are having hard time understanding my concept of good manners, and I'm having hard time following your stream of consciousness. Let's leave it at that

No response Apr 13, 2020

Reportedly, the lockdown of Wuhan has been lifted since April 8th, but there is no response from the company. I could access one of their server, and confirmed they continued their business at the earliest on March 27th.
