Thankful that parts of Asia *seem* to be getting the 1st wave of the pandemic under control. If their economies are functional, they can build what America will soon need to buy in bulk to bail itself out.

In that scenario, all the nationalist attacks on China (the Wuhan virus, China should apologize, etc) may prove very shortsighted.
If the US is in a life-or-death situation and needs PPE, drugs, etc from China, they will use that as maximum leverage in any trade negotiation.

Alternatively, it's quite possible that China (+ Korea, etc) just see a 2nd wave soon.
This time, though, China has a national digital quarantine system where they expect viral fires to pop up in any area, but will put them out rapidly.

Now that South Korea is seeing something similar, that's more evidence for real or real-but-temporary.
