An interconnected worldwide economy is feeling the strain of China’s viral flare-up – and the potential $160 billion hit in lost development that might be en route.
In New Zealand, a shower decorations merchant told a client that the German-planned shower head he requested is inaccessible – in light of the fact that the plant in Shanghai is shut.
