Maersk - Significant Labor Shortage At Chinese Ports
“On Thursday, Maersk CEO Soren Skou warned that the world's biggest ocean carrier is experiencing significant disruption at Chinese seaports due to the effects of the coronavirus outbreak. "We are experiencing huge pressure at [Chinese] terminals because there aren't enough workers at the ports to move the containers around, not enough truck drivers to move the goods, and no one to receive them at the factories or warehouses," Skou said.” |

I don’t understand, if the state is saying there is no problem here how could this be? If the whole country gives the government the finger can they kill them all?

Especially since it's rearing it's head in S. Korea now. |

Giving Trump USA a huge leg up towards bringing manufacturing jobs back to America is an unintended consequence to my earlier observation about a conveniently timed pandemic stopping the Hong Kong rebellion in it’s tracks.

Now we just need to get people to understand that buying American even if it costs a couple bucks more is the best for our country. Had people done this in the first place we would be in much better shape right now.

To add to the drama, nobody knows what the situation in North Korea is like. They have close to zero medical systems.

China is bringing in River Cruise ships for medical personnel
“China is bringing seven river cruise ships into Wuhan to house medical workers helping people with coronavirus in the province. The seven ships will provide an extra 1,469 beds for workers. So far, over 1,700 health workers have been infected with the virus, several have died. Although China is reporting a slow down in the number of cases, concern is growing elsewhere in the world with an increase in infections in South Korea, Italy and Iran. South Korea now has over 600 people infected, six have died. Italy now has around 150 cases and has banned public gatherings in many areas. The number of cases in Iran has risen from two on Wednesday to over 40, with eight deaths. To date, 2,445 people have died from coronavirus in China out of about 77,000 cases.” . |

I am told normal flus “flip” one for one, meaning the person with it passes it onto one other person.
The Corona Flu flips 6-to-1, meaning a person that has it gives it to six other people. . |

Now China is blaming the USA for this,what a bunch of BS first they botch the outbreak then they blame us after the entire world could have been months ahead preparing if only they had any morels.
I hope we remember how they screwed the world by looking out only for their interests. They are not our friends and never will be. the snowflake generation needs to wake up and realize they are just a more advanced North Korea. |

Quoted: I expect China to send folks to my industry trade shows to photograph everything and pickup all the literature they can..... just like all the other industries View Quote To our credit, our drunken IT guys had already done so, so it was a wasted drive on the agents’ part. One interesting factoid - commies had gone to trade shows wearing pure silk ties of which they covertly dipped into solutions on display they found access to, then we they got back to their mothership, their scientists removed the silk from the residue left on the tie and voila’, the secret formula was now theirs. . |

View Quote They just announced the first death fro this in Oregon. A 70 year old male in the northern part of the state. I am guessing that means we have more than 13 cases now. Our little town’s city council is discussing emergency actions. I suspect shopping is going to get worse. |

Update: 47/1 is the count. Thousands out of work and soon to be out of their homes the prize.

We have 3 confirmed positive cases in my county.
I do not have much faith in the people that run my facility. I work on a shop floor with about 75 other people. Business as usual here. |
