The Chinese government is known for two things: being cartoonishly evil and having the ability to plan long-term.

What are the odds that they intentionally released coronavirus to sabotage Trump's reelection efforts?

Doing something to defeat Trump is not a long term plan. He would only get another four years.

Now, showcasing the inherent superiority of an authoritarian and controlling unitary state is a different matter.

That effect could spill-over for generations.

So 100% chance, definitely.

Let it play out. What will it look like when 1% of Chinas population have been infected and 20% of the US population?

That's when a "miraculous" vaccine will emerge in China.

Jergul,

You seem to be under the impression that quarantines, telecommuting and tele schooling are unknown to the Western world.

As for China. If anything, its authoritarian system has impeded dealing with the crisis. How smart was it to censor people who were trying to spread word of the virus in its early stages for example?

The transparency that is present in Western democracies helps significantly with accountability. Something the PRC utterly lacks.

There is a video of someone with the virus simply walking out of the consulting room, through the waiting room and back out on the street.

Transparency? You have only tested 600 people. 10% of them are infected.

I think you should pray on this before commenting further. Its what your corona tsar would like you to do.

Anyway, its not what we think, its what China thinks. I am sure they think the decadent west will fail to enactly sufficiently harsh measures.

Besides, the deck is stacked. China can just stealth use its vaccine to control the outbreak. All it needed to do initially is to ensure it spread properely and deniably out of country.

It only cost a few thousand dead. Totally worth it.

jergul,

You seem to be making the argument that authoritarianism implies professional competency. Even a Sovietphile like yourself can't truly believe that.

In reality, the Chinese government is deeply incompetent at many levels. Do you need me to provide examples, or is that such a self-evident fact that we can agree to move on?

As I am the only person in this thread that seems to actually have faith in Western liberal democracy, I am confident that we can respond effectively to the challenge. I am sorry that you feel otherwise.

I figure on a 20-25% reduction from highs. That is technically a contraction, but I would still consider it a correction given the fast speed of growth these last three years (easy come, easy go).

Clear skies over China. There is going to be a supply side hit no matter what as inventories are emptied.

Nouriel Roubini, the economist nicknamed "Dr. Doom" for his pessimistic predictions, told Der Spiegel on Thursday that he expected stocks to plummet this year, President Donald Trump to lose the election, and the novel coronavirus to have a bigger effect on the global economy than many investors anticipate.

"I expect global equities to tank by 30% to 40% this year," Roubini, a professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, told the German newspaper.

"The markets are completely delusional," Roubini told Der Spiegel. He said that if the coronavirus were to cause China's economy to shrink by 2% in the first quarter and grow by only 6% in each of the next three quarters, the slowdown "would essentially mean a recession for China and a shock to the world."

Are you sure about that Jergul? Even with their drastic containment measures, their hospitals were swamped for weeks and many people died on the streets. They already had a few thousand dead with those measures so I don't know why you believe that the casualties would've been exactly the same.

Not what I was saying. China obviously thought an uncontrolled epidemic would cause a lot more damage over the longer term than harsh measures to nip it in the bud.

But nipping has a hefty price. Far more heavy a price than the actual number of sick and dead.

I’m pretty sure that’s not true. Scared people’ shop or work. Nor do sick people. Tens of thousands of infected swamped their medical system and infrastructure. We will be talking past each other until someone provides numbers anyways but I’m pretty sure, “letting everyone get infected” wasn’t a good idea. Just look at Iran and Italy.

I am not saying its a good idea. China probably made the right call. But the actual number of sick and dead is not enough to have a significant economic impact on its own.

The measures to protect everyone else is what hurt China's economy.

Trump passes coronavirus test with flying colors

By Michael Goodwin

March 12, 2020

Big and bold, optimistic and compassionate. President Trump’s Oval Office address was exactly what America needed to hear.

This is what it looks like when a president rises up to meet a crisis head-on.

With fear and panic spreading across the land and threatening to take down the economy, Trump is facing the greatest test of his presidency. Although battle-hardened by brutal fights with Democrats, the biased media and foreign adversaries, he is presented with problems of a different magnitude with the coronavirus.

It is a global menace that has declared war on America. Truth be told, sometimes in recent weeks, the president has appeared to be a reluctant commander-in-chief.

Thankfully, as of Wednesday night, that reluctance is history, replaced by a president who left no doubt that he is all in on the battle against this deadly scourge. Now effectively a wartime president, Trump’s repeated assurances of victory were music to the ears of a rattled nation.

His willingness to change course and step up his game reflects an understanding that this is a critical moment both for the country and his presidency. “History has proven time and time again, Americans always rise to the challenge and overcome adversity,” he said at one point, as if to underscore that he accepts the seriousness of the stakes at hand.

The haters will never admit it, but Trump’s ability to meet the moment now is a reminder about why he was elected and how he has managed to guide the great American jobs machine to unprecedented heights. The only mystery is why supposedly intelligent people on the left refuse to acknowledge that millions of their fellow citizens are better off now than they were four years ago.

That issue will be decided in November, but for now, the entire country should be united in the campaign against this silent enemy. To that end, the speech succeeded because it included specific actions that would help halt the spread of the coronavirus and pledges of aid to individuals and companies that are suffering.

The travel ban from Europe for 30 days is certainly the strongest medicine, but the spread of the disease there, especially in Italy, is a warning about what could happen here. It would be irresponsible to take the chance, so shutting the doors is prudent.

Remember, Trump was right in January to stop most Chinese nationals from entering the US, a fact that many of his critics still can’t accept. They are still wrong.

The president also had to play comforter-in-chief, and he did that by outlining small-business loans and other measures, some of which were vague and need to be worked out in the coming days. And he didn’t skip the practical details, reminding people to wash their hands. That may be a first for an Oval Office speech.

But the most important challenge was giving the American people confidence in his leadership and demonstrating his determination to lead the nation to the other side. His calls for unity and bipartisanship were part of that promise, but let’s face it, the odds of that happening are slim to none.

There is so much bad blood in Washington and the leading Democrats, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, further poisoned the well by attacking Trump mercilessly on his initial handling of the coronavirus. Right out of the gate, they sounded as if they wanted to impeach him again instead of helping him find solutions.

So they, too, now face a crisis of their leadership. Will they help fight this killer disease and try to calm the nation? Or will they continue to abdicate their governing responsibilities and put their partisan interests ahead of the nation’s well-being?

Whatever they decide, America now knows it has a president committed to victory. That’s what matters most.

just off top of my head

-Trump said spread not inevitable when experts at same briefing said they expected more cases
-Trump at one point said 15 cases (not wanting to count cruise people) & noted x recovered so would soon be zero... it was not soon zero
-Trump had multiple stupid comments in regards to a vaccine, such as repeatedly suggesting it would be out soon even though he stood w/ experts explaining it would likely be a year or more & why, yet it was in one ear out the other as he kept saying same thing (doubtful anyone outside the vaccine-making community would think a year is 'soon')
-Trump claimed testing kits available to all who wanted... CDC & Pence contradicted
-Trump's repeated effort to convince the public that the flu is worse... [see Italy]
-today, Trump: "testing has been going very smooth"... multiple people in field having complaints; Fauci: w/ failure comments
-Trumps teleprompter speech requiring multiple clarifications & corrections
(w/ Trump not admitting to making any errors, obviously... on speech or any of above)

then you have other things like Geraldo going on Hannity to urge Hannity to tell Trump to stop shaking hands as setting a bad example... (which is yet another person treating Trump like a child, Geraldo obviously saying that on air as knowing Trump was watching... & Geraldo added the required praise, calling Trump brave & doing a terrific job)

Also no. Jergulmath may be awful 99% of the time, but his counting of the number of undiagnosed cases is a good frame of reference here. It should be terrifying that we're likely under reporting the spread of the infection by about a factor of 10.

South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany, Thailand for starters.

Worst: Italy, Iran.

Are we closer to Italy or are we closer to Iran now? It's that bad.
