Shanghai, China is in deep shit.

More than half of the coronavirus infections reported by China on Sunday stemmed from a Russian flight to Shanghai on April 10, underscoring the possible severity of the outbreak in Russia.

Shanghai’s Municipal Health Commission said 51 of 52 imported cases on Saturday were of Chinese nationals who were diagnosed to have Covid-19 after they landed in the city. The travelers accounted for more than half of 97 imported infections China disclosed on Sunday morning. No other information was provided about the flight.

Ninety-two people linked to the Russian flight have been tracked and quarantined, Shanghai authorities said. It’s not clear why the Chinese nationals were in Russia.

Russia has emerged as a fresh source of imported virus infections for China, which seems to have tamed its own outbreak and has now pivoted toward staving off cases from elsewhere. China has grounded all but one inbound flight per week for foreign airlines in a bid to limit imported cases, but new infections have also found their way back to the country through land borders, especially the one with Russia.

1. I had a Zoom conference with friends in Italy today

One of my friends helped establish universities in former Soviet Union countries. He heard from a friend in Russia that the extent of the virus is being covered up and Putin's government is being very heavy handed it keeping the virus and information about it contained.

2. Boomeranging, two ways.

Export virus, it finds its way back.

Export virus but squelch it by wreaking economic havoc on your own economy, you get to deal with the economies you export to being trashed.

Only plus is that your factories will be open as soon as there's demand from the rest of the world, before they can get their factories up and running. Profit with a side bonus of expected gratitude and parades.
