It won't matter because you said the country is like North Korea.

You could engineer the virus, release it on yourself to get rid of a few unproductive citizens. Then let it spread to the rest of the world, watch it go haywire and buy up all their resources at rock bottom prices.

As there's a shortage of PPE, many lives could be saved if there was some way of helping keep visors clean. Rain

Your kids want to see you at home again. Think safety!

Internal liquid washer to rinse your visor, no need for the old fashioned way

Tape so strong it is advertised by 3M as a replacement for rivers, even trucks being made from it providing far more than enough adhesion. This only attaches to the far side of your visor, out of your vision, the main centre section sits above your visor so no vision is lost.

The country is China, and yes Coronavirus is definitely going to speed up their rise relative to the US. This isn't thanks to some genius on the Chinese part, it's just a series of failures on the part of US.

I get China finds itself in an advantageous position by default. My interest is in the parallel with the last great global crisis arguably WWII. Could a country effectively repeat the USAs post war boom? What would that country have to do?

The only parallel I can think of is a country having a monopoly on PPE and virus test kits, supplying the world and saying "pay me later."

Either that or China telling the EU "we'll supply you PPE for free but you have to get out of Africa."

Cheeina.

Buy up Western stocks when we're fucked and prices are cheap, so when we come out of this, they'll own even more Western manufacturing and will be the new world economic super power.

Oh and they'll own our data networks, nuclear power and will have produced almost all smart listening and videoing devices in our houses.


They'll be bored stupid watching me then Laughing
