Yesterday China reported 1,437 new confirmed cases (and an additional 906 new asymptomatic infections) bringing their 24 hour total to 2,343 cases.  Today, that number has more than doubled, with Jilin province (now under lockdown) contributing more than 3,000 new cases.

As I reported yesterday, roughly 50 million people in China are under some form of lockdown, while millions more are under enhanced restrictions. All of this is taking a toll on China’s economy, with both the Hong Kong and Shanghai markets down sharply overnight.
