I remember reading with massive horror about a new virus sweeping through Hubei, China, and 60 million people had just gone into lockdown. A part of me was sad that this was happening but glad that such drastic action was being taken to stop the spread. As the virus spread — I was also surprised to see that the world had largely ignored the fact that a full third of the Chinese economy had been effectively “switched off”- stock markets ignored it, most people in the rest of the Western world did too, until March 2020.
