The pandemic is pushing us into a certain framework. But luckily, there are now more than enough cool marketplaces like this https://spanish.globalsources.com/ that allow you to shop from the comfort of your home.
the blame game and the change in tone began when it was identified that China knew of this crisis months earlier. WHO facilitated the Chinese government to run their own mitigating procedures unchecked. Why has China lost over 21 million cellphone subscriptions between Jan and Mar? Chinese depend on cellphones for communication... did 21 million Chinese DIE between Jan-Mar? Asking hard questions takes more work than echoing pre-published comments.
The fact is: China beat the virus! No matter how you think of China, the fact is there: China beat the virus!
