chinese companies have sought loans totaling more than $8000000000.00 u.s. dollars to try and soften the impact the crisis comes at a time when the chinese economy is in the middle of a difficult period of transition the government has already pumped more than $200000000000.00 into the country's financial system to avoid volatility and yet there was optimism on the global financial markets after a top chinese health advisor suggested the epidemic would soon peak and could be over by april in a statement on chinese state television. according to our mathematical modeling the epidemic will reach its peak in the south after the middle of february or in the 2nd half of february although. still the situation is one of contrast as the death toll climbs above 1000 and the optimism is simply not reflected by the reality on the ground a report published on tuesday by
