Bad News: China Closes Movie Theaters

Vanity Fair: China Closed All Its Movie Theaters Again

While the Chinese government didn't specifically cite coronavirus concerns, the expectation is that the theater closings were ordered amid fear that another outbreak could hit the country. Over the last two weeks, as cases in China have dropped, the country has slowly begun easing quarantine restrictions. Just this week it was revealed that China had announced it would lift the lockdown on Wuhan, the city most closely associated with the coronavirus pandemic, by April 8.

Service industries may be hit for longer than expected.

Hopefully, the virus is most virulent in the 45 to 50 degree range (aounrd 10 Celsius) and warmer spring weather depresses the spread.
