I hope your wrong. I really don't think it will happen here. We are very different to the French.
Could snail eating make people more violent? Gotta be a link somewhere why certain cultures behave different

The areas of Paris affected are poor inhabited by immigrants. They are virtually no go areas for many natives. We have plenty of those areas too.

I guess we'll see what happens here. Hopefully nothing.

Also, just read the although the lockdown will be eased at some future point social distancing will need to be maintained until the end of 2020!
This will stop all gatherings from taking place and the impact on restaurants, airlines and even bus/taxi services is enormous.
China should pay.... I hear the US state of Missouri is suing China! Good on ‘em!

I saw a taxi yesterday. Just the driver in it. Perhaps he was going shopping. As would be gard to keep social distancing from passengers.
I too think China should pay. The thing is they have damage the economy in every country. Perhaps we should stop buying Chinese stuff expecially the stuff that ends up in our landfills after a few months. Why should their economy be rewarded from us buying from them?
I was watching a documentary on Tower1 being built next to where the twin towers were. Taking out the towers was very damaging to the US economy and effected others around the world. However china's virus has done more damage already.

We are boycotting Chinese goods wherever possible and even down to not enjoying a Chinese takeaway again.

That’s why I don’t use USAutomotive anymore. Cheap junk at top dollar prices. And Ultimate spares are equally as expensive.
I generally find Rockauto where you can choose the manufacturer of your part or direct from US suppliers is cheaper and usually just as quick.
I’m surprised USAutomotive are still in business.

I had a similar experience with a carb rebuild kit for my American boat engine. It was a Chinese copy and was terrible.
You make a good point about it being difficult to avoid things made in China, so many things are these days it's unbelievable. Even most iphones, which you'd think are American are made in China. Even things designed elsewhere and assembled in China are still feeding the Chinese economy. Unfortunately China now has an insurmountable strangle hold on global production.

Lol. Every phone including house phones feature Chinese made components.
There are some websites where you can buy British made stuff. We used to build lots in the UK something with the Union Jack on it was a mark of quality. Something happened over the years and people happy to buy cheap even if it lasts a fraction of the time.
Need to make Britain strong again, somehow get people to buy British. Although we need to go back to making stuff. We used to have a good vehicle industry. Alot of that moved to Europe.

Exactly my point
. In fact, iPhones don't only use Chinese components, they are actually assembled in Shenzhen.It is almost impossible to avoid feeding the Chinese economy in some way unfortunately, even by targeted purchasing. The problem is, Chinese production is very inexpensive comparatively, therefore many companies use it to maximise profits.
