Re: New virus from shithole China
That's what I mean when I say this virus might wake us up and drastic changes will be made and things will be different heading into the future. We absolutely NEED to manufacture life saving medicals and equipment at home and thank goodness Trump is at the helm in the US and hopefully will do exactly that and then Australia will follow.
We should not be outsourcing any of this to China who are also trying to play silly buggers amidst something they started.
On a terrible note though the Aussie dollar has fallen to 55 cents

It won't be as cheap as slave labor China can do, but it won't threaten national or world security and our allies will benefit. Of course, I'd like to do as much as possible in the US first. They can educate their own students and build their own technology.Black Orchid wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 1:33 pmJust to add to the joy China is apparently blessing us with something else.

https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/20 ... vince.htmlAs the deadly coronavirus continues to spread, an outbreak of a "highly pathogenic" H5N1 bird flu has been reported in China's Hunan province.
According to China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the outbreak occurred on a farm in the Shuangqing district of Shaoyang City.
The city is a six-hour drive from Wuhan, the centre of the deadly Coronavirus.
"The farm has 7850 chickens, and 4500 of the chickens have died from the contagion. Local authorities have culled 17,828 poultry after the outbreak," the ministry said in a statement on Saturday.
No human cases of the virus have been reported, reported the South China Morning Post.
H5N1 also known as the bird flu and avian influenza is highly infectious in birds.
According to the World Health Organisation, however, it is difficult to transmit the infection from person to person.
When the infection spreads, the mortality rate is about 60 percent.
Right said Fred, Time to pop a rocket up those chink asses, My general view is that this virus will change the global thinking in regards to out sourcing

The Yanks don't muck around -
Trump is basically nationalising industry to fight a war
against the Coronavirus.
If it is your business you would lose control of it.
The Govt. would tell you what to do &
presumably there would be big trouble if
you didn't do what you were told.
After announcing he was invoking the act Wednesday, Trump said at the White House that he sees the country as on a wartime footing and himself as a wartime President.
"I view it -- in a sense as a wartime President."
Here's how the 1950 wartime law Trump just invoked to produce medical supplies works.
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/18/poli ... index.html
The Law passed in 1950 as a response to the Korean War -- gives the government more control during emergencies to direct industrial production.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency describes the act as "the primary source of presidential authorities to expedite and expand the supply of resources from the US industrial base to support military, energy, space and homeland security programs."
Ex-General: We should have already invoked defense act
Ex-General: We should have already invoked defense act 02:12
The act will hand Trump "a broad set of authorities to influence domestic industry in the interest of national defense," according to an updated Congressional Research Service report on the act released earlier this month.

Re: New virus from shithole China
It's a sensible thing to produce medical supplies at home. Outsourcing to China is extremely risky and China has already threatened to withhold medical supplies to the US.
I say China can go take a hike.

It's still a hell of a step to take -
it's saying that your private business is no longer yours.

Re: New virus from shithole China
I believe it only extends to certain businesses in that field and the government will help them to produce medical supplies at home. It doesn't mean everyone's business is going to be taken over.

Governments need to decide what products are in the national interest , And have them manufactured at home regardless of the cost, , China threatening Americas drug life line is beyond the pale , almost an act of warBlack Orchid wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 3:51 pmI believe it only extends to certain businesses in that field and the government will help them to produce medical supplies at home.

Economic wars become trade wars become shooting wars......and in between we have the China virus.....
Believe what you want to believe......
