Why does the US need to work with Huawei to set the 5G standards.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-u-drafts-rule-allow-144523358.html

The US has no choice but to work with Huawei to set the 5G standards because it is impossible to sidestep Huawei's patents to develop 5G technologies.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/03/huawei-won-fight-in-europe-against-us.html

We had already reported this before.

The US also has to work with Huawei for the 6G developments as China is ahead in these telecommunication technologies.

What are the scientific analyses for the origin of covid-19? - Part 2

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3083211/coronavirus-may-have-jumped-humans-early-october-study-says

London universities had released their research that the coronavirus outbreak started as early as October 2019 and China was not the origin of the outbreak.

"In most countries, including Britain, the United States and Ireland, the genetic diversity of the samples essentially reflects the global diversity, suggesting the local epidemics came from independent introductions of the virus. However, China, where the outbreak was first reported, is a main exception to this pattern, where only a fraction of the global diversity can be found."

We support the use of the scientific method to trace the origin of the outbreak and not use media and politics to pinpoint the origin of the outbreak.

We are very happy to see more scientific researches are pointing out that China is not origin of the outbreak.

The US ISM PMI in April had worsened.

The prices dropped to 35.3 (-2.1) because of a significant decline in new orders including new export orders and local orders. The producers were unwilling to pay for the price increases as the outlook was gloomy due to the covid outbreak. The consumers also continued to pull back their spendings. The customers’ inventories increased because of a significant decline in new orders and not due to producers increasing their stocks. In fact, the producers cut their production and employees because of the gloomy outlook. The supplier’s deliveries increased to 76 because of a delay in deliveries (longer delivery period) due to the lockdown. The PMI is in the low 40s now which denotes that the US is already in a recession (-4.8 in Q1). The Q2 figure will definitely be worse than Q1 as the PMI has worsened.

SUTD made a bizarre epidemic prediction from its data analysis.

https://www.web24.news/u/2020/04/beware-of-this-study-which-states-that-the-epidemic-will-end-on-august-9-in-france.html

This kind of publication must be approved by its professor.  The SUTD will either prove that it is a 3rd-grade University or a 1st-grade University in July since it predicts that SG will end the outbreak in July 2020.

Many companies will either hire SUTD graduates or blacklist them after July 2020.

What's my take on this prediction?

My common sense is telling me that SUTD is most likely wrong in its data analysis and prediction.  Why make this data analysis public when the outcome is likely wrong? I really don't understand the professor's mentality.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-southern-hemisphere-must-brace-for_24.html

I hope someone can shed some light on this.  Please enlighten me!
