Meat would be mostly pork, and the door should be slammed shut there anyway. Quarantine. (The “pig plague” can be carried by pork products, so, if uncooked or poorly cooked scraps are discarded and fed to hogs, the disease is spread.)

Soybean / feed farmers are going to take a hit regardless, if 200 million Chinese hogs die from disease, in short order, and more in other parts of Asia / the world.

If PC monitors are on that list, I’d guess TV’s might be, too? Some are dual purpose, anyway.

“Soybean / feed farmers are going to take a hit regardless”

We have been discussing that a bit on this thread. Congress was ready to bailout farmers if needed, but the President’s tweets indicate that tariff revenue could do it as well:

“....If we bought 15 Billion Dollars of Agriculture from our Farmers, far more than China buys now, we would have more than 85 Billion Dollars left over (from new tariff revenue)”
