There are currently 65,213 confirmed cases worldwide, including 1,486 fatalities.
Looks like the Washington Post is starting to figure out your “Supply Root System”
“Everything was supposed to be back to normal by now,” said Craig Allen, president of the U.S.-China Business Council. “It’s not going to happen for a while. I think that’s starting to sink in.”
“Everything was supposed to be back to normal by now,” BASED ON WHAT??? A perfect example of Normalcy Bias.
“taiwan might be in a position to help on short notice? alternatively the same might be said for several se asian countries...”
Depends on how hard they’re hit, but even if not hit hard, they are all PUNY relative to China. We’ll be finding that out real soon!
Did you hear any results for this autopsy?

Ugh. Praying for you Brother! I just came back from a 3 day convention with lots of interaction with the public.
Wait and see.
“However, it will work its way to us, if only to make supply of domestic sourced materials tight.”
It could certainly do that. Also, how deep does ITAR go? Does it go down to small components, like resistors, whose import wouldn’t give away national secrets? In other words, you may get hit more directly than you may be thinking.
Not very deep. Maybe one level.
I was TRYING to be positive! :p

Bioweapons aside, the Chinese would have to be crazy to not be doing such research.
There was that one paper linked to in an earlier thread: The Chinese researchers found 500 different corona viruses in local bats in ONE study, and thought they’d barely scratched the surface. Viruses have been jumping to humans, one way or another, and causing epidemics, as long as humans have existed. Another study found antibodies to some bat coronaviruses in villagers living near a cave (but no active disease in the people at that time.) Chinese slaughter and culinary customs reflect a people most of whom just came out of abject poverty (eat almost anything, “wet” markets, etc.). Add that to a huge population in a temperate zone and astonishing growth in their transportation infrastructure, and ability of many (maybe all?) coronaviruses to mutate quickly...
I am frankly surprised this didn’t happen sooner, labs or no. The Chinese gov’t and scientists are NOT stupid to research these diseases, and in doing so would be taking the lower risk (than the certainty of future epidemics).
Would you mind terribly, posting links to such, please? Someone on another site has claimed that, too, and is getting flamed for it.
Wow. Disinfect everything. If you sneeze, break open an EmergenC packet immediately. I have learned that if you excessively bleach your hands, they will not turn whiter. Lol. They turn red and then you get some open sores. So wear gloves to limit bleaching episodes. On a side note, you can find cuts and rashes easy with bleach sprays. Just take it slow.
I pass the info along next time I encounter it. This “party” will be ongoing for a while.
You want to see an UTTER waste of time and money?
Globalists wanking themselves into a frenzy over “policy prescriptions” and “guidance” without a single thought of lining up and imprisoning the thousands of CEOs, MBAs, CFOs, and the like, who shifted all of US manufacturing and FEEDSTOCKS to China.
“Privatize the profits, socialize the losses.”
“If you’re not part of the solution, there’s good money to be made talking seriously about the problem.”
All made in China, so some CFO could buy a second vacation home for his third mistress with his quarterly bonus on the "savings"...
FUBAR and too late to fix the shortages that will manifest shortly.
