I hope it is. Both Italy and The Netherlands don't seem to be satisfied and faulty equipment right now can prove lethal. Also, them sending doctors to Italy was kind of a big deal but it fizzled out and the situation there didn't improve any. Maybe now they can truly start helping since apparently they announced the epidemic is over in their territory.

Except the things they are sending are apparently faulty and their goal is to brag about how much they help rather than actually helping. Same as Russia. Sure. China sell anything from low end to high end products. The price of medical equipment and supplies are skyrocketing due huge demand. Some countries are buying substandard medical equipment and supplies. China being such understanding comrade, kindly pointed it out, but they will not stop you if you wish to buy them. You get what you pay for.	Posted by awesome999#2945 on Mar 30, 2020, 5:37:57 AM Quote this Post

As predicted here come the strikes as you sit at home safe waiting for your food and amazon deliveries those employees are exposed and not taking it anymore. I also predicted hyperinflation on bare necessities... good luck paying for it w your $1200 check which should get there by June...if mailman is still working which I doubt... before this is all over this whole board will agree you never shutter your economy. You do like Singpore and south Korea and others...be safe but work on because cure will be worse than virus " . Strikes Employees from two essential players in coronavirus commerce are planning strikes today. Workers for the food delivery company Instacart have accused the company of not providing enough protections during the pandemic. They are demanding safety items including hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and sprays, along with hazard pay and an expansion of coronavirus pay to include those with underlying health conditions. Before the strike, Instacart said it will provide more hand sanitizer to some shoppers and make it easier for customers to set custom tip amounts. Meanwhile, Amazon employees at the company's Staten Island, New York, facility plan to walk off the job after the company kept the location open despite a confirmed case of coronavirus there. The leader of the walkout says more employees have tested positive for the virus at the facility than the company has publicly acknowledged. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/30/us/five-things-march-30-trnd/index.html Git R Dun!
