    A chinese factory opened today to get to work with 200. One was found to be infected.

    Now everyone of the 200 has a quilt if they can arrange one to stay there isolated 24 days from today.

    Would that be a great deal of overtime on the clock being on the factory floor waiting to see which of you drop dead?

    This is a symptom. The world wants china crap to be made now. But china is closed. No work. Thus nothing gets shipped to the world. No money either for China.

    Round and round we go.

    The interesting part is so much of the manufactured items that we buy today comes from China. Somewhat of a kick in the tail for all these american companies that will need to hire locals to create the supply. It will also be interesting to see what happens at Walmart whose stock is 90% from china.

    Let me put it to you this way.

    Israel has banned all private sales of medical masks. Only formal medical institutions may buy them in Israel. When they sold 60,000 in 10 days previous; Israel realized that no one in all the world can make another 60,000 and ship to deliver in the next two weeks. So those sales by citizens and non medical persons got stopped.

    There is a particular fish that is imported into Israel from China and Israel is down to about a 60 day supply and dwindling.

    Certain electronics, some of which I actually depend on in computer parts which of two I just bought this month and planning one more next month are not being produced.

    Taken another step up, ergo no new apple phones no new anything. Just wait a month or two until American supplies (And that of the warehouses around the world) empty out. Next thing we all know there are shortages on that shelf.

    I plan on buying very large amounts of certain non perishable foods. Some of you truckers will go omfg all these noodle loads WTF?

    Thats me and maybe ... 20 millions of Americans quietly piling up against 2021 failure in America's food supply?

    Little birdies. They chirp alot. But when they get to singing, I am led to recall where there is smoke of a problem there is fire.

    One final thing.

    I dabble in train stuff with the hobby store. China makes that in majority. I have been told in no uncertain terms that has stopped this year. Vietnam and other Asian Nations are making the same train items under license. And are shipping to America hand over fist because China cannot build to order. I have 5 orders until christmas. I just wrote off four of them. Unless I find them on Ebay or something second hand.

    Thats a little birdie today.

    And you're not that for long if you don't keep your #### wired tight.

    Well if you pay for reserved parking does it cover the part of the $20?

    Is China going to send us diseased blankets? To take us over?
