@forced_long @LancasJosh X-axis is months since origination (or potentially months since the loans were securitized). Cumulative net loss is the loss (net of recoveries) divided by the original principal balance of the loan portfolio.

This is the medical team from Wuhan responsible for recovering 50K+ patients in just a few months. They're now risking their lives again to help out Italy. Rag on China all you want for the mishandlings early on but you can't deny that these people are true selfless heroes.
