    I'm not just talking stocks and money itself

    People use money to buy stuff to eat, survive. I'm talking about supply chains, food security, later violence, crime, even war

    Read this one

    Aussies turned away from shops and made to carry white flags over virus fears in Peru

    Sounds like Peru is already running out of food and they aren't all that affected by the actual virus so far

    If the economic disaster ends up killing more people than the virus, then yes it is a big deal

    100s of millions of people in Central and South America, China, the Rest of Asia, Middle East, Russia and Eastern Europe even could face starving to death

    Yes, but you say no one is considering that, as if the current measures that are taken aren't worth it because of this possible economic consequence. I say many experts and leaders ARE considering/aware of it. They simply disagree with you that current measures like temporary social abstinence and possibly a lockdown (two subtily different things) are needed and worthy.

    What's the population of China? Like 1.2 billion? If you can trust their stats, they locked down for two months and successfully flattened their curve without mass starvation. It can be done.

    Let's divide it in to two models

    1. The Singapore / South Korean way of handling it, which is what Scotty from Marketing is copying. It's obvious now Sars-CoV-2 is seasonal

    2. Your way, let's call that the Italian model, which most of Europe seems to be copying


    When it comes down to it, you are there, I am here


    ....and relaxxx I think is in the US, a country with 400 million civilian owned firearms

    It remains to be seen if the curve is flattened nationally. Wuhan is only one area. It could now spread soon to other parts of China and the whole thing starts over again.

    Maybe

    I've heard reports that they're not exactly being honest with the data they're releasing.
    They're expelling journalists from their country.
    Who really knows what the real story is there

    i've always had a soft spot for the Chinese. Maybe cause one of my better female friends is Chinese. :p

    BTW I showed her the Kung-Flu Hiding meme I made and she laughed. she said that was hilarious.

    Besides China was always going to take over eventually. America has 50 states that can't even get along. The demise is inevitable.

    I think when America figures out how to actually win a war in one of those "shit hole" desert countries then we can sit back and have a laugh about them trying to take on China. :tearsofjoy::sweatsmile::tearsofjoy::sweatsmile::tearsofjoy::sweatsmile:

    Cause after Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. They're only little countries. Can't even win them convincing if at all. Even Germany was a little country. America Vs China... C'mon man.

    No I compared having her "abuse" me as having a six year old "abuse" me.
    And by that, I mean I pick up no real malicious intent..
    Just her own frustration and anger finding an outlet.
