Apparently Spain is allowing “high-risk” hantavirus contacts to mix with each other in shared spaces while in quarantine.
One person has just tested positive, meaning the others have also been newly infected.
Will the authorities plan to start a new 42-day quarantine? ⏰ https://t.co/M5W1KlCZUw

China?
This is quite interesting. There have been two stories in the last 24 hours:
1) “A huge capital outflow is occurring in China.”
2) “Hong Kong overtakes Switzerland as the world’s offshore wealth hub”
But it’s actually the same story. China is experiencing large-scale capital outflows… pic.twitter.com/PHJDmeNlyC

The real China credit story lies in what’s happening between cost of capital, loan rejections, and pent-up credit demand.
