Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

I think you are going to see a major manufacturing shift over this. “Just in time” inventory modeling is hugely problematic when dealing with supply issues. Manufacturing **** in China bc it’s cheaper is a huge problem. Hell they basically threatened to withhold medicine the other day. That’s an act of war IMO if carried out. I suspect you will see incentives/tariffs/laws that prevent this going forward. Can you imagine, in the middle of the Cold War 1970, saying here Russian here’s a ton of our IP and please produce this critical stuff for us? Hell no. Yet we did it.

I am not saying we shouldn’t manufacture **** in China. I am saying there are things we have no business manufacturing outside the US.

I could see this also but it will all depend on the election this fall.

If you want to read about how the CDC has failed the nation once again, here is an article from that bastion of libertarian thought, the NYT. There is a disaster unfolding and concerned scientists are trying to get in front of it but the CDC was basically more concerned with making sure all the paperwork was signed in quintuplet and the boxes were checked. Typical gubmint.

And the infamous Spanish Flu of 1918 is now thought to have originated in ... freakin' Kansas.

I thought it was from Iberians eating Spanish flys.

It’s the liberal way

The mess this will create is unimaginable.

So maybe I'm a bit loopy from lack of food & sleep as last night from around midnight to 9AM this morning I spent basically all night on the throne with a dishpan.

The strangest thought struck me as I was gagging...

If someone with coronavirus coughs or sneezes is that considered a Coronal Mass Ejection?

I need sleep!

Thanks for sharing!

New polls show effect of right-wing media's dismissive and conspiratorial coronavirus coverage - CNN
Two polls released this week show the troubling effects that weeks of dismissive and conspiratorial coverage of the novel coronavirus from Fox News and other right-wing media outlets and personalities had on the American public.
The irresponsible coverage had a real effect.

Humm I wonder why people wouldn't trust CNN, I can't put my finger on it....

This is somewhat pertinent.

GOP senator warns bailout-seeking firms: Must show plan to bring 'jobs back' to America

I swear I never would have taken you for one of the ones pushing hysteria. 20,000 people a year die from the flu here and no one ever panics. We are likely over 50,000 deaths per year from auto accidents and no one stops driving over it. I could go on but it won’t make any difference to the hysteria we are all going to die crowd

apples + oranges = nuts

I guess we'll find out if being heartless is a good defense against this thing.

Polls show liberals more fearful. Big surprise.

Being heartless is always the best defense.

Nobody wants to miss our sports, lose our paychecks and have to cancel our vacations. We certainly don't want to get sick/die or lose beloved family members/friends.

Just do what they say. Distance yourself, follow the guidelines and this thing will be over quicker. Temper tantrums over the inevitable just causes stress for everyone. ignoring what the experts are saying will just make this hell last longer.

Why do that when we can argue and blame this on the librulz?

I guess that’s why he’s self quarantining in DC instead of going to Florida to be around his vulnerable wife.

I guarantee you they have increased, how much do you think there were in 1980? 1990? Today?

I'm not going to look it up because I don't care. But I believe percentage of accidents per miles driven have gone way down and percentage of deaths per accident is way down also. I dare you to go look it up.

Which one did you pick?

 

[zeppelin128]

Good grief. Some one should tell Lou boot licking will spread the virus.

Wheres fantastic? Cause that's what it is, damn Chinese virus
