A few predictions from the Trump economic team, which is now considering how to "reopen" the economy:
"Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross predicted Thursday morning that a deadly virus originating in China would cause companies to reconsider their global supply chains and ultimately “help to accelerate” the return of jobs to the United States."
“So I think it will help to accelerate the return of jobs to North America,” Mr. Ross said of the coronavirus. “Some to U.S., probably some to Mexico as well.”

"National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow tried on Tuesday to assuage concerns over the cornavirus and its impact on the U.S. economy.
“We have contained this. I won’t say [it’s] airtight, but it’s pretty close to airtight,” Kudlow told CNBC’s Kelly Evans on “The Exchange.” He added that, while the outbreak is a “human tragedy,” it will likely not be an “economic tragedy.”

And, of course:
Feb. 26: “And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” — Trump at a press conference.
Plenty of more idiocy here: https://www.factcheck.org/2020/03/trumps-statements-about-the-coronavirus/

@no1marauder saidThat, at least, is sane. If not to return it to the USA, at least from Capitalist-Maoist China back to the civilised world, such as Europe, India, Africa, or indeed in a pinch the USA.
