Re <<China ... blame>>
I note that China merely ask a simple question, “what has happened to the five Team USA military cyclist competitors who visited Wuhan in October?”
We do know they were real people, did go to compete, and in Wuhan.
On the face of it the question is easy to answer, but the folks seems to have gone MIS that even the media cannot or do not try to get to them, and they do not step forward to say, “hey, look, I am fine”.
Puzzling. Eventually they would have to show themselves, unless of course they cannot. And if not, issues follow. Nothing could be clearer, surely.
Re <<market>>
Enough seem to be whistling in the dark.
On a battle field there are a bunch of folks who can get us killed, and they are ...
- the guy who thinks he has a map, or
- paralyzed
- ... etc etc
- the guy who wants to lead
- anyone who follows any of above
Just think, miracle of miracles, the history’s fastest depression, all done in a few weeks
Incredible.
Trump is correct, that the counter-measures against the virus is worse than the virus, even as it is a ‘so-what’ no-choice at the time of choosing, and now we are already baked-in to deal w/ the counter-measures (social distance, shutdowns, lock-ins, lockdowns, cratered supplies, pulverized demands, creaking hopes, cracked realities, etc, and unemployment, stopped revenues, unforgiving costs, frozen financial conduits), and deal w/ the counter-counter-measures (dilution of money, negative costing of same money, and airlifted negative-costing & diluted monies).
oh, and don’t forget the trade war, tech war, cleavering of the world, bifurcation of galaxy, and hard-forking of universe. I hope the boomers are up for these, the same, that which we might call Thucydides Trap war for lack of more convenient term.
It is indubitably true that the market (goods, financial, monetary, fiscal) actions all were and are speeded up by a flu-esque happening, but am guessing the market was due for a breather anyways.
Lots can be blamed on the virus, and yet, without the inexorable virus we would have had to wait 5-7 years, agonizingly, for the inevitable.
Now? Whoosh, 5 weeks, to nearer end-game.
Is the virus more than a flu? Has the virus, even if more than a flu, been hype-d more than it already is? Dunno. Let’s see. |
