a boom period the virus has seen billions of dollars wide off the market value from a call for a sense of less vegas giants including when m.g.m. and sounds. and speaking of the fallout from the coronavirus germany's flag carrier love tons says it is suspending all flights to and from mainland china for longer than initially announced of times our group which includes subsidiaries swiss and all straight out lines will not fly to beijing and shanghai until february 29 other chinese destinations including nanjing cheney on and king doll in eastern china will not be served at least until the end of march europe's largest airline group said it made the decision because it wants to keep its passengers and staff say. tesla shares were up 20 percent at the beginning of the week if the company's biggest gain in 7 years comes after the electric car maker announces its 2nd quarterly profit in a row analysts view the result as
7:36 am

7:38 am
