Post Covid ecomony
Re: Corona to escalate world economic shift
No surprise, 50 years ago Japan was the manufacturing hub with rising wages manufacturing went somewhere else.
China has been planning to move from manufacturing ( made in China) to designing ( design in China).
Of course a lot of countries will compete to acquire manufacturing jobs and expertise, one must remember that low wages is just one tool in your toolbox. Countries like Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Brazil, India etc , all will large and young population should become attractive destinations for the low skilled jobs.
Will labour intensive jobs return yo the USA ? Doubtful

Reasonably blunt and unambiguous, if you ask me

The USA has failed miserably..... Let s get a change of leadership.
Re: Post Covid ecomony
WHO is second only to the UN for being a huge wasteful money pit. They pride themselves on seeing how many overpaid influential bureaucrats they have in their organizations.
Kind of like the EU.

WHO blame game. May be overly bureaucratic, but all international organisations usually are. Remember their past work - eliminating smallpox, nearly polio, and significant reductions of other infectious diseases.
Blaming WHO for Covid-19 is a joke when you sit on your arse for 2 months after the news broke saying it was just a little thing ......... then have to panic. Europe no better.

Re: Post Covid ecomony
The WHO called this a pandemic about 5 weeks after it had already passed their own publicly stated criteria of when an epidemic becomes pandemic. On one notable press conference a few weeks before they changed their minds (or had their minds changed for them), when asked directly if it was already a pandemic by their own metrics, they said no, it wasn't.rick wrote: ↑April 15, 2020, 11:32 pmWHO blame game.

Meanwhile, the world inexplicably watched and waited.

Re: Post Covid ecomony
A different, and in my view more balanced, perspective about what the WHO should and shouldn't have done earlier this year.
https://www.economist.com/science-and-t ... cle-link-6Critics such as Mr Trump are correct to observe that the WHO’s panjandrums have been obsequious towards China, the geographical source of the covid-19-causing virus, SARS-CoV-2. Dr Tedros himself has praised China’s president, Xi Jinping, for his “political leadership”. However, he has also praised Mr Trump for his “great work”.
Such emollience is a consequence of the fact that only with the co-operation of its member countries can the WHO get on with its day job of acquiring data, weighing them up, and dispatching consequent advice and support around the world.
This applies not only to unexpected epidemics like that now raging, but also to quotidian killers such as measles, malaria, HIV, tuberculosis, polio, diarrhoea, malnutrition, cancer and diabetes.

UK govt extends "lockdown" for a further 3 weeks to protect the Economy
Re: Post Covid ecomony
It is disgusting that so many of those well paid bureaucrats responsible for overseeing WHO, were to busy sucking up to China, so as to collect their monthly salary cheque and or other benefits from that that Organization

At least 43,000 American millionaires who are too rich to get coronavirus stimulus checks are getting a far bigger boost — averaging $1.6 million each, according to a congressional committee.

Who knows when the Post-Covid economy will arrive? When or if it does, that old lament, "It ain't what it used to be," will likely be heard everywhere.

Re: Post Covid ecomony
I guess the thing is ,if they open up too early 1. A lot of people will still stay at home 2 all the effort made already would have been a waste of time ,back to square one. One thing I admire, at least the UK government are honest and tell us this could go on untill the end of the year. Deffo no rolling a turd in glitter

Re: Post Covid ecomony
MAYBE ..thats MAYBE .. at a later juncture potential tourists will when choosing a holiday destination factor in how a particular country handled the C19 crisis and how sure they can be of a virus free holiday .. the idea of targeting high end big spenders to GUARANTEED clean virus free secure locations and charging handsomely for the privelage isnt so daft and may work... Phuket n Samui etc are perfect due to they can be easily policed and screened ... alas it aint gonna happen in Pattaya and the place IMO is doomed.
