I'd like to see America do the same - of course - back to America would be best
The Japanese government has allocated billions of dollars in a stimulus package to help manufacturers move production out of China and into other countries.
The stimulus package, which is to offset the financial hit of the coronavirus, includes 220 billion yen, or $2.2 billion, for companies shifting production from China back to Japan, and 23.5 billion yen for companies to shift to other nations, according to Bloomberg.
“There will be something of a shift,” said Shinichi Seki, an economist at the Japan Research Institute. “Having this in the budget will definitely provide an impetus.” Companies that manufacture for the Chinese market, such as car makers, will likely remain, he said.
The move comes as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe attempts to establish friendlier ties with China. A meeting between Abe and Chinese President Xi Jinping was slated for earlier this month in Japan, what would have been the first state visit in a decade, was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“We are doing our best to resume economic development,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a briefing Wednesday in Beijing when asked about the two countries’ relationship. “In this process, we hope other countries will act like China and take proper measures to ensure the world economy will be impacted as little as possible and to ensure that supply chains are impacted as little as possible.”

I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Re: Florida State Seminoles
I think this Covid-19 is going to play out like a much faster version of AIDs
While we believe a vaccine is 14 months out, I believe they will mitigate the effects of the virus with some type of medication. Even now, they have a treatment of plasma for those most severely effected, but of course, at the moment plasma isn't readily available for the numbers they are facing.
But I firmly believe by mid August they will have treatment available where 1. they easily identify high risk patients more than just obvious factor of age and pre-existing conditions and 2. the treatment will be effective enough that people will have no more fear of getting this than flu - and then we will be back to whatever normal is - people going back to work, schools open, sports resume. They'll crank out whatever the treatment is in mass quantities, and will have readily available tests at local pharmacies and groceries like they do pregnancy tests.
They'll still push for common sense - washing hands, avoiding direct contact like handshakes and hugging, people with high risk factors should stay at home, but fall of 2020 will resume some normalcy.
That's my belief anyways - and I think we're on the cusp of developing a treatment - not a cure, but a treatment for this that is going to marginalize the threat of death or long term health effects.

Re: Florida State Seminoles
Latest figures and math:
Number of people in the US: 328,000,000
Number of people in the US who have died of coronavirus (so far): 20,463
Ratio of people to those who have died of the caronavirus vs total number of Americans: 1:16,029
You have a 1 in 16,029 times chance of dying of coronavirus. If you are under 65 and don't have an underlying health condition, that ratio is much larger.
Number of unemployment claims since the coronavirus lockdown (so far): 1,680,000.
Total number of coronavirus deaths (so far): 20,463
Current ratio of deaths vs unemployed during the coronavirus outbreak: 1:82
You are 82 times more likely to be unemployed by the coronavirus than killed by the coronavirus.
Annual average deaths by various causes:
2020 deaths caused (so far) by coronavirus: 20,463
2019 Deaths caused by auto crashes: 38,800 https://www.nsc.org/road-safety/safety- ... -estimates
We do not shut down our economy because of auto crashes
2020 deaths caused (so far) by coronavirus: 20,463
2018 Deaths caused by suicide: 48,344 https://webappa.cdc.gov/cgi-bin/broker.exe
We do not shut down our economy because of suicide.

Re: Florida State Seminoles
The Spanish flu (Spanish: La Gripe Española), also known as the 1918 flu pandemic or La Pesadilla (Spanish for "The Nightmare"),[2] was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic. Lasting from January 1918 to December 1920, it infected 500 million people – about a quarter of the world's population at the time. The death toll is estimated to have been anywhere from 17 million to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million, making it one of the deadliest pandemics in human history.[3]
I imagine that last big pandemic happened when there were big heart attack and suicide numbers too. Certainly not so much auto deaths, but back then people were still dying of malaria and dengue fever and all sorts of shit - including malnourishment. The point being: people die of regular shit annually - a pandemic piles on something fierce. Duh.
If 80k people die annually from flu, and this virus thing is 10 to 15x more infectious than flu, then you have to take measures against it. Bottom line.
Oh - and then there was this:
The second wave of the 1918 pandemic was much more deadly than the first. The first wave had resembled typical flu epidemics; those most at risk were the sick and elderly, while younger, healthier people recovered easily. By August, when the second wave began in France, Sierra Leone, and the United States,[100] the virus had mutated to a much more deadly form. October 1918 was the month with the highest fatality rate of the whole pandemic.[101]
