The number of COVID-19 victims has exceeded one million. Countries across Europe are thus introducing a number of new measures. While in the Czech Republic, according to the Minister of Health Roman Prymula or Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, the state of emergency is being seriously considered, the more benevolent Netherlands has opted for milder measures. In the country where the increase in the number of daily cases was approaching 3,000 this week, some residents have been advised to wear masks inside shops for the very first time. As in the Czech Republic, restaurants and bars will have to close at 10 pm. Fans of sports events have been benched for a while and people are being encouraged tp work from home. Prior to this, the Netherlands has been largely avoiding strict restrictions. The highest numbers of cases have been registered in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague. The new measures are entering into force today and should end after three weeks at the earliest.

The coronavirus pandemic has changed consumer habits in China. Demand for luxury car brands such as Porsche is growing.
"Covid-19 has affected the psychology of consumers, increased the popularity of private transportation and at the same time made many Chinese wasteful,"
said Chinese CNBC CEO Jens Puttfarcken. He added that instead of traveling, consumers now spend more on luxury cars.
The German luxury carmaker Porsche stated that sales in China increased by 8% in 2019 to a record number of more than 86,000 vehicles sold. Let's wait and see what impact the newly acquired consumer habits will have on the year 2020!

The popular folk singer Taylor Swift also celebrates success in the field of music! She broke the historic record in the best-selling music records and EPs in the USA. After being number one for 47 weeks, the legendary Whitney Houston was dethroned.

"Human laughter is the most beautiful music."
