I keep telling people to consider the potential economic reprocutions of all of this. They shut the power off in California a couple times this summer due to there own lack of proper maintance driven by greed. Long story short by day three of no ATMs, closed stores and gas stations people were already acting desperate and vile towards each other. This was done with warning and people were still scrambling like it was the end of days. Some people instantly bought months of supplies leaving nothing for others who needed them. Our system is so fragile and over burdend it dosent take much for it to start falling apart. Alot of the world’s economy is wrapped up in and there for affected by China and how it’s government is handling this.

The co. I work at has almost all their suppliers based in China, luckily I’m near retirement but I have meetings constantly with their reps.
Looking beyond my own risk, the folks that I work with are all threatened by this outbreak in the sense that we are a just-in-time biz and there is no way that supplier base can be shifted onto American co’s.
They simply don’t exist.

China’s health minister, Ma Xiaowei, recently told reporters there is evidence it’s already mutated into a stronger variation that is able to spread more easily among humans.

bs. Ok, let’s see the evidence showing that it has recently mutated (evidence other than the inaccurate data that has been already been “shared”).

== result of inept control of the contagion.

The map is looking more and more like the map in the Outbreak movie! SCARY

If tRump did order the quarantine of repatriated Americans…it sure is a secret, and no one except you knows anything about it. Not a fan of Obama, but he had a brain…unlike tRump!
