So 🇨🇳 China, 🇰🇷South Korea and others are getting a grip on their 🦠 #coronavirus epidemics with tight, sometimes authoritarian tactics. Their culture & politics are facilitating success against #covid19. 👏
📺Here's how that works...

Meanwhile, in 🇪🇺 Europe we're trying 'appeasement' cos that worked well against our last existential threat.
Fear or delay in implementing draconian measures will cause our epidemics to spike.
Spikes will cause massive loss of life + economic collapse.¹

And across the pond, the 🇺🇸USA is being run by a narcissistic child with at least one eye on an election.
Having spent 3 years eviscerating the core workings of government, particularly the CDC, their complacently and naïvety will kill millions.

The 🇬🇧UK, 🇪🇺EU and 🇺🇸USA will be on their knees throughout 2020.
1 ➜ Delay + confusion. Soft measures. Panic.
2 ➜ Spike in cases. 🚓Police & 🚑NHS overwhelmed.
3 ➜ Emergency powers established.
3 ➜ ⚔️Army drafted to enforce (if not unwell 😷)
4 ➜ Total economic collapse¹

But the virus doesn't respect borders. 🌎🌍🌏
Smaller territories - currently days or weeks behind 🇮🇹 Italy on the curve - will see the epidemic take hold of their countries.
They will call for help. 🗣🔊🚨

When the global south calls for help 🗣🔊🚨 ... who is going to answer?
🇬🇧- Not the UK. We will be in full chaos.
🇪🇺- Nor any other EU countries.
🇺🇸- Nor the USA, for even if they could their president is too narcissistic to allow that to happen.
So who helps?...

As 🇨🇳China recovers, it will use its immense wealth, massive army and colossal CT & ICU equipment manufacturing clout to reach out an help those countries that West 🇬🇧🇪🇺cannot or will not 🇺🇸help.
But that's not the kicker...

How will 🇨🇳China help? 🤔

If 🇨🇳China steps in to help other countries, the way they will do it is by importing....

As 2020 rolls on, we will see a recovered 🇨🇳China selling:
- medicine, 🧪🧫medical equipment...
- and🌟digital infrastructure 🌟 ...
- and probably also 👮💂 manpower
... to oft-less-than-democratic, poorer countries in the name of fighting 🦠#covid19.

The question is...
What happens when the epidemic subsides in each of these countries?
Many will find their new control alluring 👨💻🚔.
Many will be in 💰debt to 🇨🇳 China.
Many will remember we 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇸 failed them. 😢
Things will not be like they were before.

FWIW I'm not even saying that I think this is good or bad thing.

To be clear:
I /am/ saying unequivocally that 🇺🇸America has been massively let down by the childish & naïve narcissist @realDonaldTrump who will have the 🩸blood of millions of innocent Americans on his hands. #letsbehonest
I'm just unsure about the rest of the above.

¹ ... re "Economic Collapse" above:
This isn't about 📉markets. This is about how our economy operates².
Speak to any leaders of ✈️ airlines, 🛫 airports, 🏨hotels, etc. Anything which runs on the movement of people.
Many are already nearing collapse. The rest will follow.

² ... re "how our economy operates" – perhaps this is the time to trial universal income and rebalance our culture away from capitalism and towards the pursuit of personal and community creativity, mastery and enlightenment. #justathought
