>China didn't give a fuck nd just carried on but tis nothingburger warrants mass shutdowns of everything?
yeah maybe it's because they changed their policy after what happened in 2009? No one is saying it's a "nothingburger" (cringe) but the point is that it might not be a total collapse situation

>pretty much a fucking placebo
not true.. if everyone wears it in a standardized way it can cut down transmission down to 1 percent.. if it was useless then why do doctors wear them? The only reason they are telling the west they are useless is to stop panic buying. Same with antivirals. They say it's immune but if you talk to doctors they say they would rather take antivirals than not take them if they got infected.

>nearly everything from raw materials to medical supplies comes out of china
somewhat true.. prices will just go up for certain things

>You can't just whip up an entire industrial base
not going to get "whipd out," haha 10 percent of workers might stop working or something but they will find a way to manufacture things.. theres just too much incentive for them to not figure it out. And if they have 2 pay workers more 2 show up then they will do that. The govrnment mandated shutdowns are only going to last in the initial phase to try and contain it but if it does breakout then people will just have to accept the risk and go back to work and realize you have a 50 percent chance of getting sick and 10 percent chance of needing hospitalization.

In 1918 they didnt even understand germ theory that well.. or at least the comon person didn't. And what did they do? They just kept working through out it. And 2 percent of people just died and they kept going. They shut down factories and shit but at some point the cost of shutdowns is greater than the cost of illness itself and you damn well know the elite wuld rather people get sick than shut down the economy.

meme tier, just stock up, going inawoods is more dangerous that getting a little flu
