Coronavirus Pandemic

[Letters]

How many things do you own that were made in China?

For me it's a lot. And I don't have that many morals.

I saw someone on FB say we should never buy anything from China again and make everything here.
I asked if he was OK with paying twice as much for everything, I don't think he replied...

Way too many. When lessons arrive you can either learn them or learn nothing.

By looking at the numbers, such as they are. That's all we have to work with right now.

I replied and gave you a link to the numbers. What numbers are you looking at?
They don't look that rosey to me. The number of cases and deaths have been going up in the exponential way you expect in a pandemic with no significant curve flattening. There are shitloads of active cases.
Lockdown policies have been decided by different governors which has meant a very scatter-gun approach.
What numbers are you looking at which makes you think they've done well?

A vulture capitalist myth. And a nasty one too because it casually condones slavery as an economic benefit.

Outsourcing jobs to a slave labour market might be highly profitable for a few, because they bank the immediate margins and then avoid paying tax. The customer benefits up front by a much smaller margin, and then pays back the difference (probably more) in all the social costs attached to domestic poverty and unemployment as well as the full amount of taxation under pains of stiff penalty.

The likelihood is goods from China work out to be far more expensive when all costs are considered. And they will be of inferior quality. So it's a really bad deal to be buying from them. Slave masters at the large corporations will dangle consumer products under your nose and scream about lowest ever PRICES. But they will never reveal the cost.

Anyway, you are a Christian so you are obliged to boycott Chinese goods for more reasons I can think of. Pretty much every reason in the Bible.

Well I won't order raw bat.

???

Same data you are looking at.

USA 39 deaths per 1m Pop
Spain 311
Italy 283
France 158
UK 91
Germany 24

Seems the US is doing extremely well given the sheer volume of cases, which means a huge demand for medical staff and resources/ equipment, and presumably a large number of medical staff getting sick or being isolated.

The nasty commies at the Guardian will be delighted by this news. Not that they will have even looked into the data to figure if this is true or not.

What a coincidence. China has handled this best and the US and UK have handled it worst. Who could have predicted the lefties would come up with that storyline?

Daily Mail run exactly the same story. Are they the left too?

No, but they just signed a big deal with a Chinese content provider that is run by the CCP.

My point though was not the easily debunked "news" from another "research" organisation run by Gates. It's the unbridled joy of the left when they get a chance to put their country down. They can't conceal it, no matter how hard they try.

Worst country hit in Europe. Why would it mention China?
