Sellers' sales plummeted! The epidemic spread rapidly, Japan and South Korea were in crisis, and Italy was closed...

"We are now on the brink of a global pandemic."

Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease doctor in the United States, said this in a recent interview.

At present, the epidemic situation in China has been well controlled. Just yesterday, except for Hubei, 9 new cases were confirmed in other provinces and cities, and the number of confirmed cases was controlled in single digits for the first time!

However, the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic is spreading. Japan and South Korea in Asia are in crisis, Europe and the United States have also been dragged into the center of the epidemic, and sellers' orders have plummeted!

Italy locks down

Before February 21, there were only three confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Italy. However, within two days, the number of confirmed cases increased sharply. As of February 23, the number of confirmed cases had reached 117.

And the epidemic is still continuing to break out. As of the evening of the 24th, the number of confirmed patients in Italy has increased to 232 !

This has plunged Italy into extreme panic, and it has urgently announced the closure of at least 11 towns and cancelled upcoming football matches and carnivals!

The number of infections in the United States may exceed 1,000

Recently, Dr. Paul Cottrell of the United States released a video exposing that the CDC concealed the truth and the epidemic is far more serious than what the news media saw. The CDC concealed the data just to avoid causing panic, otherwise the situation would only be worse. In fact, the number of new coronary pneumonia infections has now exceeded 1,000!

South Korea discovers "super spreader"

Compared with Europe and the United States, the situation in Japan and South Korea in Asia is more serious!

According to Yonhap News Agency on the 25th, the latest report from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that from 9:00 to 16:00 local time on the 25th, South Korea had 84 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia, a total of 977 confirmed cases , and a total of 10 deaths.

In addition, a suspected "super spreader" appeared in South Korea. A woman attended a cult ceremony, which resulted in more than 1,000 people being quarantined, and 90 of them showed symptoms of infection.

In response, the South Korean government once again declared the infectious disease alert the highest level of "serious" and established a central disaster safety countermeasures headquarters. Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province, where the epidemic is most serious, were designated as special control areas, and super-strong "lockdown measures" were taken to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

Japan's epidemic situation is urgent

Previously, Japan attracted worldwide attention because of the large-scale infection incident on the Diamond Princess cruise ship . As the cruise ship was "unbanned", people who were not tested for infection were arranged to disembark in batches. Some of them chose to take public transportation home, while others were picked up by special planes sent by their country.

However, the Japanese government did not seem to pay much attention to it. With more than 800 confirmed cases, the Japanese emperor's birthday banquet was still held as scheduled, with 470 people from all walks of life, including Abe, attending.

On the 21st, 15,000 people gathered in Japan to watch a football match, and almost half of the fans wore masks and half did not...

Japan's Buddhist behavior really makes Chinese netizens anxious...

According to the website of Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) on the 25th, the latest report released by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan on the 25th stated that as of now, 853 cases of new coronavirus pneumonia have been confirmed in Japan, including 691 confirmed infections on the Diamond Princess cruise ship.

It can be seen that the new coronavirus has spread to the world. If these countries relax their vigilance, it is likely to be out of control locally! I hope that all countries can strictly guard against it and take corresponding protective measures.

Cross-border e-commerce sales plummet

As the epidemic spreads in Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, the sales of cross-border e-commerce sellers in these regions have also been greatly affected.

Previously, sellers were generally concerned about supply chain production and overseas logistics and transportation issues, but with the outbreak of the epidemic abroad, sellers have to worry about order issues.

The number of cross-border parcels directly affected has dropped sharply, and the order volume of some sellers has even dropped by 40%-50% . Even some sellers have begun to reduce prices but have not been able to reverse the decline. After the spread of the epidemic, traffic control in various countries has affected logistics and transportation, and buyers are afraid to place orders for fear of contracting pneumonia due to excessive contact with couriers.

This is understandable. Take us for example. Since the outbreak, we dare not order takeout, not to mention online shopping. As the epidemic has not been completely lifted, everyone is still in fear. If you can stay at home, don't go out. If you can avoid contact with people, don't contact with people.

Fortunately, countries have begun to pay attention to the epidemic and implement control measures, but have not yet taken major actions to close cities and ports. Once the epidemic breaks out, it will really be a cold winter for cross-border e-commerce!

Finally, the editor would like to say that although the number of newly confirmed cases has dropped sharply, the epidemic situation at home and abroad is still not optimistic, and everyone must not let down their guard!
