Covid-19

People, we don't have as many cases as you do because there's less people per square mile, so it's easier to distance yourself. But you better be practicing self-quarantining when you do arrive. And make sure you bring all your supplies with you too, don't be hitting up the stores to buy it here and spread your nasty germs!

Fine.

Besides, I heard there was a huge outbreak in Kalispell/Whitefish...bodies piled everywhere. People should stay away. It's a horrible area, anyway. Nothing to see there.

Small part of China's misinformation campaign. Initial video is a Chicom gal shit talking the US and if you scroll down there is video of a Chicom wiping his shoes with PPE.

Even the most woke of folks, like Trudeau, are waking up to how shitty China is.

Not helping us sweetie, even though we’re part of Asia. Our Foreign Investment Review Board set a low bar in dollar terms so a foreign entity could buy into critical infrastructure here. The bar as of yesterday is now zero. I guess the PRC will have to look elsewhere.

Wait a sec, does that mean that Chicom investment into Australia is verboten now? What about the investments they already made? From what little I understand, China has sunk boatloads of cash into Australia's (and many other countries :() real estate and critical infrastructure. Cause I'm gonna roflmao if China gets kicked outta the land of Vegemite and drop bears.

Sounds like it. I think the final straw was a PRC global outfit called the Greenland Property Group got the call from head office to stop what they’re doing & start buying gowns, masks, sanitisers & whatever else & shipping the goods home. Saviours of the world, be fucked.

I don't think there is any talk of removing assets, this is just a preemptive strike to stop the wholesale purchase of any vulnerable assets that are in an artificial slump.
As it is I've seen some large agricultural properties coming up for sale which have only recently been bought by Chinese Investors. A few years of drought, a risky fire season and a tits up economy has them getting out and consolidating their main business holdings back at home.

Those motherfuckers. I hope you guys pull through, cause that's a shitty doublecross the Chicoms pulled off.

Good, I hope the Chicoms sell for a loss. The fact that the Chicoms have spread and metastasized as a global owners of real estate and critical infrastructure is an embarrassment to the world.

Blows my mind we've allowed our ideological enemies so much leeway.
 
Meanwhile in Dubai...

Coronavirus: Dubai district placed in lockdown for two weeks as clean-up drive is stepped up

One of Dubai's oldest districts has been placed in lockdown for two weeks to aid efforts to contain the spread of coronavirus.

Roads leading to Al Ras, in Deira, will be sealed off and metros will not stop in the area from Tuesday to allow for an ongoing sterilisation programme to be stepped up.

Dubai Police said people who were not residents of Al Ras were prohibited from travelling to the area.

Local residents will receive essential supplies from Dubai Health Authority, police said.

Al Ras is home to Dubai's gold Souk. If you look it up on Google maps it is in the heart of Dubai.
 
In general, Americans have a short attention span and get bored with "news" and things fairly quickly.

We've really only been dealing with COVID-19 for a few weeks. Another thread got me thinking, as the virus continues, etc. and the weather gets warmer, I wonder how much longer it will be before people really tire of it (hearing the news, seeing running counts, etc.) and start saying, "Fuck it, I'm just gonna do start my own thing again?"

That probably happens at some point, right? Wonder what that looks like/how that plays out.
