If we are making changes solely on the basis of COVID-19, then isn’t the lesson that whatever you do, make sure you’re manufacturing and hiring people in China? (Or South Korea).
I mean, China was the first one affected by this, and after a few weeks of covering up (something western countries like the US also engaged in despite having already witnesses the negative effects of COVID in other countries), China took swift and drastic action (the kind which other countries may not even be able to do legally) and got the situation under control.
The US, on the other hand, is gonna be shut for months, and if the global supply chain was dependent on the US we would likely have been even more screwed.
