The "996" working time model means around 50 billion working hours in China every week. It's only 7 billion hours of work in the United States I guess.
This consideration is simplified. If you want to make a career in Europe or America, you also work 70 hours a week.
That is not healthy! There is a risk of burnout.
Nevertheless: the comparison of numbers shows why China is catching up economically with the USA. Add to that motivation, discipline, and more and more good company structures and process organization (which can only be built and maintained with great effort; many American companies already had their best times).
Then you also understand why China is better able to successfully tackle tasks such as containing an epidemic. And you get an idea of why governments like the Trump administration see no other option than to defend themselves with blame and fake news.
The assessment at the beginning of the year that Covid-19 is a purely Chinese problem and that it can help to consolidate the economic position of the USA was wrong.
Another topic: the number of cases in Russia explode!

- Singapore’s Covid-19 cases have risen sixfold since the start of the month, due to outbreaks in crowded migrant worker dormitories
- The authorities say hospitals can cope for now but are ‘stretched’ amid concerns over availability of beds, testing facilities, ventilators and workers

The outbreak in the island nation of 5.7 million people has exposed the poor conditions that many migrant workers live in. There are about 981,000 work permit holders as of , and about 284,000 are in the construction sector.
Over 200,000 foreign workers live in 43 dormitories in Singapore. Most are housed in crowded and unhygienic quarters, typically with 10 to 12 people sharing a room, making social distancing harder to enforce. Thirteen dormitory complexes linked to virus clusters have been isolated, meaning workers will not be allowed to leave their rooms for 14 days.
The workers were packed like sardines to 2 decker beds and 12 into a small room. Each with 4.5 square meters deemed adequate. Living conditions in aircraft carrier will be like heaven to them.
20 of them to share a toilet and shower. How to have social distancing ?
I feel utterly ashamed that such situation existed in Singapore.
Some photos to let you folks have an idea of the horror facing those foreign workers in Singapore.
In another week or so, GOLD Standard Singapore might well be able to push down China a slot or two on the covid 19 tables.
On a more cheery note, take a look at the animals and wildlife reclaiming the empty streets all over the world.
As the humans disappeared.
Photos and videos intensive. So it matter little if you do not have translator working automatically.
Just watch and enjoy unusual sights.

Just to add on my previous post, i also feel sorry for those Chinese americans working in the government right now, they must be under siege from all directions with "enemy within" label painted on their backs, imagine how they must feel especially if they truly have unrequited sense of nationalism towards their adopted nation who sees them with growing suspicions
