Sure a country like China can handle but the global trade econony is going to be wiped out, it's interlocked to such a degree that countries will have way too much of one supply than an another and no where to sell it to if they can't find demmand in their own borders. It's already happening but when everyone is doing hard lockdowns it's finished. If they don't come up with solutions soon, like right this week to trade we're fucked beyond the virus and I'm not talking money here, I'm talking short term on the ground effects of supply and demmand. Someone is going to have to create an international emergency team to handle this and our governments are going to have to ration food for the months ahead, the more time they loose on this the worse the problem becomes because right now people aren't fishing, planting or selling livestock because the demmand, where it once was in these locked down countries isn't there any more. They are loosing time on this again like they did with the virua and now that they are so hyper focused on that it doesn't look like they are concerned about things like this two months down the road. How the fuck do you get producers to produce when they can't see a way of making their money back no less profit. How do you find a demmand within your own country for supplies that usually go to multiple countries of completely different cultures and how do you change all of the infrastructure to distribute that? I'm sorry to say but I think we need some form of a one world government (Yes, I know but fuck it, what is the other solution, billions starving and a world of only nation states left?) to get through this and we need it fast. |
In denmark I think the agriculture sector is still working in large parts (rest of europe too)
Also even though borders are closed off (to normal people), its still open to transports of goods (so they still flow in and out, of countries in the EU).
Plus we have some big "wholesale" concerns, that basically own most of the larger super markets here.
This isnt fantastic for competiton, but it means that theres huge depots of common goods/foods, to supply these super markets for basically half a year+ time usage, at any one time.
Then theres the fact that EU, has a overproduction of food, and "storage" of such, so that we should never hunger.
They spend a fortune on this stuff, and usually it just gets burnt (because its never usually needed).
So basically even if "production" shut down for like a year+, people in europe shouldnt run into issues of lack of food or starve.
Theres no need to worry about foods, our prime minister also said this on the news.
Currently the "worst" case situation is you walk into a super market, and you look around for bread, and usually theres like 20 differnt brands.
A few weeks from now, there might only be half as many "brands" but there will still be bread to buy on shelves. Stuff like this, is gonna happend, but its not a big deal.
