There's been a flurry of freakouts taking place in several countries close to China for the past 3 hours.
It looks like a lot of them are deciding that it's time to hit the panic button, some of them are totally freaked, and it seems sort of sudden.
I think a lot of systems are already reaching the point of overwhelm, and people in charge of those systems are surprised by how little control they actually have over things.
They didn't know that before, obviously, since there was no disaster for them to have to deal with.
So now they're freaking the fuck out...
It ain't just ChinaMart and all the other big box stores in the US that will run out of supplies...
China basically supplies the whole damn world with all the rinky-dink shit we've gotten used to having in our everyday lives.
That shit is done, at least for the foreseeable future with this situation.
Paranoia would be high even if this were all to magically end in a few days and be back to normal.
The longer this goes on, the worse the paranoia will be...
It's a monkey wrench for the whole world, or at least any developed part of the world that relies on the goods China has been manufacturing.
