Post Returning to normal

"Meanwhile, life in the Hubei province of China, where the outbreak began, is slowly returning to normal. Almost all lockdown restrictions will be lifted tomorrow."

CNN "5 things"
Tuesday 03.24.2020


Coronavirus

It's been several days, and Congress still hasn't settled on the nearly $2 trillion stimulus bill to boost the US economy amid sweeping coronavirus restrictions. Democrats voted against the bill for a second time, arguing that Congress needs to avoid a corporate bailout scenario. Politicians fear time is running out to get the deal off the ground. The US saw its deadliest day yet in the coronavirus fight yesterday, with 100 new recorded deaths. Canada is also getting pummeled by the virus. At least 2,000 cases and 25 deaths there have prompted more closures and tighter restrictions. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has sent the UK into lockdown to curb the spread, and Thailand and Singapore both recorded spikes in cases. Meanwhile, life in the Hubei province of China, where the outbreak began, is slowly returning to normal. Almost all lockdown restrictions will be lifted tomorrow. Follow the latest updates here.

How much financial stimulus did China need?

Just curious how hard China was hit financially, or was this just their gift to the world?

We’ll never know how much they got it financially. Hopefully, though, they will become a smaller player economically on the world stage because of this.

‘hit hard economically’ just translates to ‘even cheaper labor force’ for the rest of the world. China’s not going to do anything but keep getting steadily bigger like it has for centuries.

They don’t care about their people. I’d like to think we can do better and still not consider ourselves communists because we are going to use tax money to prevent a full collapse.

not sure I believe Communist China's reporting or "stats" they push out.

didn't they launch this virus on the rest of the world ? It would be in their interest to show "no permanent damage" and "back to normal"

I assume you wrote this is jest.

The USA (and the rest of the world BTW) is nothing like China. Their whole way of doing things is not free nor is it democratic. Never forget everything is run by the central government.

Not only this...The reach of the CommChi is deep in the U.S. Remember the NBA kowtowing to China over comments made by a couple players and coaches?

Twitter is removing what is calls”dis-information” tweets about Corona virus, however it has not removed tweets claiming that American military was the origin of virus planted in China......yet twitter is banned in China.

The world really needs to use this opportunity to extricate themselves from Chinese tentacles. Every recent serious illness, other than ebola, has originated in China.
