The Nature of Things - COVID-19 Pandemic

During weekly project team teleconferences with my biotech contractor in Shanghai, COVID-19 and asking about everyone's health has become part of each call. This week was no different except that there was news of a partial lock-down of Jilin City, pop. 4.4 million, in northeast China.

On one hand, I was surprised only because I have not seen anything in the news. On the other hand, I was not surprised since the spread following initial outbreak seems to be just as scientific experts have warned.  Details are in this article from yesterday's Straits Times.

With this information, we get a preview of the nature of how virus spread and I hope our State and local governments are monitoring events like this to prepare for the second wave.
