-1st death in the US in Washington State and a declaration of emergency

-China mfg PMI fell to 35.7!! from 50 prev. This is the lowest level ever recorded. Lowest level in the financial crisis was 38.8.

Mild is a very positive story. That’s ~40%. I think it’s misleading that 80% has become the new mild number. That’s not right to make people feel it’s just a cold and it’s an old person or underlining conditions only concern or issue.

Also to note PMI, China’s economy at that time (2008/9) was half of what it is today, so that PMI number is absolutely crushing.
