Pictures of people being locked in boxes in China, ghost towns in northern Italy, the slow down is definitely coming.  

What I thought was going to do a simple diy on my well, turned into almost a whole weekend ordeal that involved cutting rusted together fittings and sourcing new ones that would spring a leak (thanks for "great" lowes quality on their 1" barb fittings from china...) - whose great idea was it to create pipe threads that need either tape or pipe dope to actually seal?

The only proven method thus far to stop the spread of this virus is what was adopted in China. 

She already had several students from overseas fleeing middle of the night because their gov't told them to come back now or risk not being able to for a long, long time (China, etc).  

Look it’s either that or China becomes the dominant financial leader and currency reserve.

If they were new to the country, I had them go get a bank account (techies from China, India or international students, for instance).  

The idea of China taking up the role is comical and nonsensical in the middle of this.

On 1 project we over built in order to capture more net metering, incentives were there, all vendors came back in 2018 stating their estimates are increase by 12% due to China trade war, plus we were anticipating building an ADU/granny flat. 

China-Russian trade use of the USD dropped from 94% to 23%. 

Much of the growth in demand in recent years is in areas that are developing such as China.
