A lot has been said about how precarious it is to have our economy and our health dependent on products from China. I am hopeful that as we emerge from the lockdown President Trump will do all he can to encourage companies to return production of many things to our shores. It is certainly the case that in the long run being a producer and exporter of goods is a better recipe for prosperity than being a producer and exporter of debt while being an importer and consumer of goods. Production, not consumption is the path to prosperity. | |||

You make great points but I did not say we, or anyone else, will stop doing business with China. There will be changes to the supply chain based on the obvious vulnerabilities exposed recently. How big those changes are will be somewhat influenced by the factors you outlined but there will be changes and it will hurt China's bottom line significantly. Regardless of political retribution, private businesses will seek geographic and political redundancy in their supply chain. Surely they see now that putting all of their manufacturing eggs in one basket is just too risky. Will China fight like hell to stop that, of course, but they will lose money fighting to keep business and lose business despite those efforts. ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

Duration. It will be very interesting to see how long we can stay committed to that. Not the Sigforum we, the larger we. 1 year feels optimistic. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

Hopefully we, as Americans at least, will get into the habit of looking for products made elsewhere. And with the help of President Trump to expedite a huge manufacturing growth in this country, it would (will) be easier. | |||

I am not talking about consumer driven change. I am talking about businesses that rely 100% on Chinese manufacturing looking to shift a portion of that capacity as a business continuance strategy. Not suggesting that will drive jobs to the US but will certainly drive jobs out of China. Perhaps to India, Mexico, Vietnam and other places with cheap labor. ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

With all due respect, I think the areas you referred to should probably be closed down for a multitude of reasons. No, I was simply suggesting that if testing of effluent showed high signs of Covid matter, then testing could be specifically targeted to the areas creating that effluent and decisions could eb made from there as to how to deal with the findings. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

And again, I would assert that when all this is over, politicos will fight tooth and nail to change anything, even maybe going so far as to pass legislation making it illegal for private industry to pull back out of China. All the while, the public will return to their "I want it now and I want it cheap" approach to purchasing. I really hate to say it, but maybe if the death toll in this country did reach the projections the "experts" are throwing around, maybe then we'd see a paradigm shift pushed into being by the public in this country. I personally do not want to see "supply chain changes" alone occur. I want to see the global community come together in a focused cumulative approach to destroying the Chinese economy. There are many economists who claim the Chinese economy is a paper tiger and vulnerable to economic impacts. I say lets see just how accurate their analysis is and let's see if we can push the Chinese economy over the edge and into virtual default. They deserve nothing less for what they've done to the world with this bug, as well as their other deceitful behavior across the spectrum. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

There are a lot of wealthy politicians and billionaires that are heavily invested in China. Don't expect that any sense of Nationalism or common sense will even come close to overcoming greed. | |||

Well,... I can save you the trouble then. I'm sure the effluent matter will show high signs of Covid matter. But my point is, what difference does that make? Those places are already performing individual testing at maximum capacity, so they can't increase it. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

It's possible there's some way they can get a reasonable estimate of how many infected people there are whose plumbing ultimately goes to each treatment station. That would be very useful (in terms of figuring out how well we are doing catching cases with testing). Otherwise, I don't see much point. | |||

What is going on? Loads of Youtube video's showing hospitals in big urban areas being empty, I just don't know what to believe. My cousin says they are showing video's from Italy to depict NYC, WTF????

The last 2 weeks hospitals in LA County have been pretty quiet as well, but this week we started to swing back to normal patient levels. Most doctors think by the end of the month every hospital bed in the County will be occupied. "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.

I get wanting to win the argument but your position is that the US government is going to pass legislation requiring companies to continue to source from China? You can't be serious. Ever heard of the Trade Agreement Act? Are you aware that US government contracts can not be filled with Chinese manufactured products per the Trade Agreement Act? I have done a lot of business with the VA Healthcare System on behalf of 3 different international companies. Any products in their catalogue manufactured in China are not eligible to be on the VA contract per the TAA. Maybe these politicos you mentioned aren't aware? ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||
