I posted this to the coronavirus thread but I think today's increases in number of infections and deaths justify a separate post.
Go to www.scmp.com/ and read the current info: 1700 infected in China, 55 deaths, Beijing hospitals using anti-HIV drugs to treat some patients - and more.
This is rapidly getting out of control. Most of the world's laptops come from China (one city made 1/3 of the world's total in 2018). I don't have numbers on the cell phones but you know they're in the top two or three.
Quite seriously, where will Walmart get clothes and shoes in six months? Will Harbor Freight and Northern Tool have tools or small gas engines? Where will your kids' backpacks for school next fall be made? Will they have rain/snow boots?
The current quarantine area in China is 50 million people (twice Florida's population) and you know that an area that large has some leaks. I mentioned a leaky quarantine area allowing an infection to spread in a story - seems I was correct.
