German industry never shut down, the only thing that closed was travel, retail, automotive and restaurants. Unlike America, where 70% of GDP is driven by consumer sentiment, German Manufacturing drives the economy and stayed open. What is coming online this week is school, retail and some services. International longhaul travel is very unlikely to resume until late summer.
