It's not simply worry about the economy. It is worry about the stock market, a sector of the economy that disproportionately impacts the 1%. Rather than taking command of supply chains and production, they're printing money to help their friends in the stock market. Being concerned about the economy is fine if they mean being concerned about how physical goods will reach quarantined areas, but the leaders of the US are very obviously not doing that. But at least we learned that spending $1 trillion to make a number go up 1% for 20 minutes is sound economic policy.

Unfortunately, that's the reality of the Capitalist economies. It's built on a house of cards. A stock market crash will lead to lower investment, leading to lower job creation...... and so forth, and so forth! a vicious spiral! That's way they are trying to pop-up the stock market!

I hope you've stocked up on food, staying home is the safest thing to do right now!

Good sensible advise. Food and water should be your priority if you are inclined to panic buy! This is why I can't understand why people panic buy toilet paper..... and guns?

I can understand guns. It's to prevent people from taking your supplies.

(I'm only half joking.)

The twitter handle is "jenniferatntd", the "ntd" stands for New Tang Dynasty which is a Falun Gong TV station in New York, so yes, it is definitely anti-China/CCP propaganda.

Thanks, so its rumours then!

At the risk of being accused of being political by sensitive members here, because I'm posting a video from a chinese CCP government mouthpiece, CGTN.

Well done, guys. I'm afraid, no fanfare for a job well done. Just tears of joy for a mission accomplished! And sad farewell with friends made during this, the sad chapter of the nation's sorrow, and friends that didn't make it. The country owes you all a debt of gratitude! I salute you all!

The real heroes. Everyone in China is a hero, the manufacturers that produce goods, the army, the construction workers, the people that followed quarantine rules, everyone except the hanjian terrorists and foreign spies.

There's no doubt in my mind that we've just witnessed the end of a great battle, and China came out victorious.

The war is Humanity against the Plague, and the theatre is the entire world.

It’s pretty telling that even now, when COVID19 is spreading like wildfire in the west, western pundits and politicians are still far more worried about politics than actually dealing with the crisis.

They keep harping on and on about how China ‘bungled’ it’s initial handling of the crisis now more than ever, in a bid to deflect form their own, exponentially worse performance. But just like their response to the crisis, that is not based on facts and reality, and instead is based on political spin and lies, and that is the problem!

If there is one overwhelming factor that explains China’s good performance in dealing with COVID19 and the west’s utter bungling of it, this is it. While large sways in the western political and media elite has stopped believing in science and wants to spin and lie and theories their way out of difficult situations, China believes in science and facts and doesn’t argue with them.

The biggest culprits in this sad state of affairs in the west is the utterly biased and partisan MSM. This is what happens when ‘free speech’ trumps reality.

And no, this isn’t ‘west bashing’ before anyone start to complain; this is fact, and this is deathly relevant to the issue at hand, because it goes to the heart of the west’s utter failure to adequately plan and prepare and deal with this crisis.

So long as the western MSM wastes theirs and everyone else’s time with political point scoring articles like the one quoted above; and western politicians continue to try to spin and lie and go out of their way to avoid learning from all the things China did right in its handling of the crisis for petty political reasons, the crisis will get worse and more people will die needlessly.

100% agree. Particularly with regards to the "bashing bit". I keep telling people here we are not "anti-west". Just anti-anti-China! But somehow that get translated as western bashing!

China doesn't need to do anything. Karmic is very fair, it does not ignore the West

OPINION: WASHINGTON SECRETS
Americans: China should pay for spreading virus, 3-in-10 say it’s ‘war’

Americans: China should pay for spreading virus, 3-in-10 say it’s ‘war’
Many people want China to help pay for its “silence and secrecy” that allowed the coronavirus to spread globally, according to a new survey focused on the crisis gripping the United States.

In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets, 42% of likely U.S. voters said that the communist country should help pay some of the financial costs that have resulted from the so-called Wuhan coronavirus, named for the city it began in.

Some 36% disagreed, and 22% are undecided, said Rasmussen.

Support is higher among Republicans. Of them, 54% want China to “pay at least some of the world’s coronavirus bills,” said Rasmussen. Just 37% of both Democrats and voters not affiliated with either major political party agreed.


Anger at China in the U.S. continues to build, and Rasmussen asked about taking further steps to punish China, including war, if the country retaliates against Washington.

Rasmussen noted that Chinese efforts to blame the U.S. for the virus outbreak have included a call that the government restrict U.S. access to key drugs it makes for American markets.

Said the pollster: “Twenty-eight percent (28%) of voters here say that if China follows through with that threat, it should be considered an act of war. Forty-eight percent (48%) disagree, but 25% are not sure.”

You see, its those evil commies, beware of the yellow peril all over again!

Of course talk of war and China being sued. It's considered a natural disaster and that's why people around the world couldn't sue the US for the swine flu since it started on a US corporate farm. How are they going get their money? They would have seize China's assets and that would be an act of war. That's an intentional act unlike the coronavirus hence why the conspiracies that it was engineered. Do they have proof? Just because they believe it, it must be true? Yeah whoever has the most power in this world gets to bully everyone on their beliefs and that's why they have to stop China's rise because they just have to look at themselves to the see abuse of that power. The US didn't go to war with North Korea because of the consequences. China is bigger hence the consequences are bigger. The coronavirus doesn't change that. It's just another excuse for their agenda for regime change in China. Even that is a euphemism for a US takeover of China. Look at how nicer it sounds. Everyone else is it's an invasion. For them they're only working on regime change for the better of the people that live in that regime.

Careful, Mace, this rebuttal of the western journalist survey could be interpreted as western bashing by some!
