True, but my question is about the economics of it if Chinese factories remain closed. Generally goods are about 3 months on the water to get here. If it lasts long enough (even if contained in China) for the WalFarts of the world to run out/low on goods, what then? Fiddlin’ as a country we adapt and get better because of it. This hurts china far more then us economically if it was/is a weaponized virus Chiina as screwed the pooch unless of course they needed population control a it was released on purpose china is wounded and terefore ore dangerous then before terrible thing though Come on HC u seriously think this corona virus was or is a weapon seriously? I fully admit it is likely from there version of the CDC an it got out but if its a weapon A. It would be a pretty shitty one and B. You typically dont try and strike yourself first LOL. This is no doubt something that got lose un there Wuhan cdc. Thankfully as far as pandemics go this at least now is fairly mild at 2 to 5% mortality rate. Still if this goes full pandemic which it likely does kills more than Spanish flu. Would hope China would have to answer for this on a global scale but I doubt it as they wield to much power l.

Not sure a weapon but an engineered strain that got out of control not near a pandemic yet not much known about it will it burn itself out like ebola does in breakouts? And might note i said if it was/is. Its a bad deal but so were early strains of the flu and even now some. Then again the chinese eat some vile crap in those wet markets hell it probably is naturally generated i do have confidence our reasearchers will lock it down unfortunately may takea year or two

Got an email today from my largest customer. The Chinese factory he uses most is supposed to be open for production again. I was surprised to hear it.

The risk of relapse is about the same as it is for flu. Maybe a little more due to it being a new virus. You dont build a "weapon" that kills 5% n least of all hit ur own country first. This was more than likely a virus being studied or played with at Chinas cdc and China doesn't have the safety protocols in place we do. What makes this virus so bad is 2 fold ....... A. The long incubation period and the fact half or more of folks that get it have nothing more than a moderate cold symtoms so they dont think they are really sick. Most concerning of course is even at 3 to 5% death rate that's still dwarfs what the spanish flu did if this truly gets loose everywhere.

It may or may not have been developed in a Chinese lab we may never know for sure...It wouldn't surprise me the commies aren't exactly the most trusting bunch...lol I doubt the numbers the Chinese government is throwing out as of Friday 76000 cases and approximately 2800 deaths a 3% mortality rate...I suspect the cases are higher and the mortality rate be as well...this is different than SARS and Mers in that the mortality rate so far is lower but it is more easily transmittable....at this point just pray this doesn't explode....I love the media mantra more people die from the flu...well yeah we know what the flu can do and the mortality rate isn't remotely on a percentage basis close to the Coronavirus...however, the Coronavirus is the great unknown at this point the media is trying to downplay it is a bunch of bull...I know what the flu can do I don't know what this virus can do at this point...this epidemic which may turn into a massive pandemic...
