#5 Tons of people are confined to their apartment complexes, one person from each apartment is allowed out once every two days to buy food. They get their temperature checked going in and out. Most businesses are closed except for food stores.

China is taking a bath on this one. They're going to lose 1/12 their economy for the year by being closed for a whole month.
