Ok, all Chinese haters now discard everything you bought from China because it was either cheaper or more precisely, not made here ! The human factor is only present whilst
things are exploitable !
Dog Pack mentality !

It will be interesting to see how this pandemic will affect the attitudes people around the world will now have towards China and Chinese people.

Some commentators are saying that governments and corporations will no longer have confidence in China and will probably withdraw capital and investments from it. A case of not putting all of your eggs in the one basket.

The Chinese have never been liked in Australia and the pandemic will only make their social position less tenable. I say give them their marching orders. And definitely put a stop to further Chinese immigration! We only brought them into country to get our hands on their money and ended up with their virus. The joke's on us!

Me thinks today ScumO' and his motley crew are going to have to make a very big cash splash, stimulus 2.0, even before stimulus 1.0 has passed parliament. Today will most certainly not be the last of it, over the next few months there will be little option for the government other than to dole out the cash, as the recession bits hard into the everyday lives of Australians. I can't see much change from $100 billion over the next few months.

ScumO'; Hot on the heels of a series of bushfire clangers, ScumO' came out with this gem last, re coronavirus and leadership, when asked what he was doing for the weekend ScumO' said; : I'm going to the footy!" Wow, how bad that sounds now! Me thinks he needs a permanent holiday, and not in Hawaii.

Is anybody thinking that it is looking like we might be heading into not a recession but an economic depression similar to what the world experienced in the 1930s?

Hi Mr O,

I'll be accused of Yank bashing by the Donald lovers, but so be it. There is nothing like a crises to show the leadership qualities of the political elite. The Great Depression gave us Roosevelt (A Yank), and WWII gave us Churchill (A conservative Pom), leaders with outstanding qualities, men for their times. There is a saying "America sneezes, and the rest of the world catches cold", how prophetic is that saying today. Under Trump, America is doing more than sneezing, it coughing up its lungs!

Some world leaders have been on the front foot with the coronavirus, not that many, some like Morrison have been caught napping, and on the back foot, The Donald however is neither, front or back footed, the fool has been found to be flat on his arse on this. Trump has absolutely no idea what to do! The other conservative fool on this side has been Boris Johnson in the UK. Unfortunately, and lets call a spade a spade, these fools inaction, and bad decisions are costing peoples lives, Morrison take note!

BTW; Did you get the joke from Josh Friedbrain the other day, talking about the Australian economy good old Josh, pointed to the unemployment figure for February, wanting us to note it had fallen from 5.3% to 5.1%, golly gee said the passengers! A bit like the Captain of the Titanic noting that the sea is rather calm tonight, just after the ship hit the iceberg, golly gee said the passengers!

All ties with the Chinese Communist Party, which have always been disgraceful, must be cut as soon as possible. We need to restart our discarded manufacturing industry and employing the 0.7 million out of work Australians. If ever there was a sign that it is stupid to indulge in globalisation and throw away our independence, it is the China virus. We must never forget where the China virus came from after it is dealt with. The Chinese Communist Party and President Xi are the greatest threat to the world that has ever been.
