More lock downs coming, count on it

  • 3,507 new local confirmed cases
  • 1,768 local asymptomatic cases

A new record number since early in 2020.

Earlier:

A city near Beijing, China, has been locked down in response to rising COVID-19 cases

This lockdown adding to ones already in place. Shenzen and Shanghai areas notably.

The acceleration in cases and the sever response that will surely come (China maintains a 'zero' policy) will be a weight on China's economy and will reverberate through the global economy via supply chain disruption.
