Hmmm.
World at Risk of ‘Multiple Famines of Biblical Proportions’ Amid COVID-19 Pandemic, Top UN Official Says
The logic here is that as global commerce grinds to a halt due to China’s little bio-surprise, places where warfare and cultural stupidity are *already* leaving people in a precarious nutritional position will only get much, much worse. People as a general rule don’t just lay down and die when times get tough… when they can, they pull up stakes and go where things are better. And where are these people going *today?* War-torn regions of Africa, the Middle East and southern Asia are not going to flood into China, because the Chinese will merrily mow them all down. Same with Russia. But Europe has spent a few generations saying “come on in and get a bunch of free stuff at the indigenous taxpaying populations uncomplaining expense” and has only recently started to understand that this might not have been an unalloyed good thing. And now, as new famines may well loom – or even just the fear of some near-future famine – that shining beacon of free bennies that is Europe might find itself the destination of choice for hundreds of millions of plague-riddled starving hordes.
Good luck with that.
