China locked down their country hard for approx. 2-3 months. How this lockdown affected their economy remains to be seen. But, one thing's for sure, China's Covid-19 stats are in stark contrast to those in the US. The Covid-19 death rate in the US (as of yesterday) is approx. 30 times higher per capita than China. China is clearly on the downside of their "curve", while the US is still trying to flatten it. Our death rate will continue to get even worse, while China's (barring further outbreaks) will only get better. Very sobering contrast.
For those who propose we open up the economy (reduce social distancing and sheltering-in-place) while we're just starting to flatten the curve should let the disparity of the above death rates sink in a bit more.
On a side-note, China manufactures a large percentage of US consumer products, not to mention many of the sub-components used in auto, trucks, RV's, etc. that are "made" in the US. It'll be interesting to see if China's lockdown (and subsequent drop in economic activity) affects the US supply chain in the coming months.
But the big question is
Do you believe China in their reporting. I do not!
Bigger question, Do you believe your governments reporting? I for sure do not! There are just as many axes to grind if not more in our govt as Chinas
