Dear Members,
As the year began and extraordinary efforts were made by China to stop the spread of COVID-19 the World may have been a little too optimistic about how quickly the virus would become under control. It’s now apparent that all of China’s efforts are merely slowing down the spread, and that the ease of transmission and longevity of incubation are worse than most people had envisioned. I checked an interactive map (found here) today that illuminated some surprising statistics, Italy has more confirmed cases than Beijing or Shanghai. South Korea has more cases than Guangdong Province, which I find very surprising. I guess countries outside of China had their guard down and the virus snuck in un-noticed. Brazil had its first case, making it pretty certain that the COVID-19 will be a pandemic (present in every continent other than Antarctica).
This week we features members representing Bhutan and Cambodia and share several photos of our Chairman’s visits with service providers and members while attending the Breakbulk event in Dubai.
Cross Ocean’s Americas mini-meeting in NYC on which was scheduled for March 3rd is now cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic risk.
