I'm no brain surgeon, but I know it's not a good idea to bite the hand that feeds you and I reckon China could ruin us in no time if they wished.

I'd suggest they've already begun.

^ I disagree with BC here.

I think the worst thing we can do is allow China to bully us. It's not in our long-term national interest to let threats of economic coercion influence our politics and if we adopt such a defeatist attitude we'll end up losers regardless.

Also, I don't think the quite reasonable proposal of an enquiry to determine the origin of the virus, how it was contracted by humans and how it spread so far can be seen as 'biting the hand that feeds us'. One hundred thousand people are dead FFS.

He's already done it. Its a biggly Chinese conspiracy with Crooked Hilary's hands all over it, probably from a lab but you never know, but if you can skull or mainline a bottle of Domestos you'll be fine.

And that's worse than "we allowed a US soldier into the country and let him walk around Wuhan and he had Covid19 and that's where it all started"? This is Baghdad Bob all over again. But, you tell me who is the bigger evil here.

The only reason China came to the table with the US for a trade agreement is the nutcase bloke sitting in that chair. (BTW; funny that they refused to sign until the US agreed to a pandemic release clause!) China would have told Obama to eff off (if he had done something about it which he didn't)
The only way the WHO will face up to its incompetence is the nutcase bloke sitting in that chair.
The only way the will of the UK people was done was because of the nutcase bloke in the UK chair.
North Korea has been getting away with their crap for years. It doesn't affect us but South Korea and Japan live with it every day

There's an increasing number of small businesses that deal with China, mine included. The panic in my suppliers communication since CNY has been palpable, factories going bust all over the place (they have millions of factories so it's probably something PRC aren't too fussed on just yet).

My manufacturing base has now officially shifted to Pakistan - this was our plan anyway, it's just been escalated. Lots of people I speak to regularly are dong similar.

But interestingly there's a significant number of people who are determined to ride it out as they see China as only becoming a cheaper place to manufacture with a better level of service due to all of this.

Customer in NZ yesterday told me all their suppliers had raised prices 10-15%, and asked if we were doing the same..... I said no, but thanks for the idea!

Scott Morrison has flagged that restrictions on domestic travel and going to pubs are closer to being lifted than previously thought, but warned international travel and going to football games again are a long way off.

Americans love that sh*t.
After Trump suggested drinking disinfectant could help with Covid-19: Calls to New York City’s Poison Control Center say they received 30 calls in the 18 hours after the Commander-in-Chief’s remarks, compared to just 13 in the same window last year. Hooray for democracy.

Not to down play the Covid virus but some perspective anyway.
Not sure on the accuracy of numbers but worth a thought.
