Youri McAnespie Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Judge a country on how its weakest and most vulnerable are treated. That's a reason why, although still much to do, we should rightly be proud of the UK, and the part we all play in it. Albeit reluctantly in some cases (Taxpayers' Alliance types I'm looking at thee...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted April 27, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted April 27, 2021 Our company has a huge investment in India. They are our global outsourcing centre and we employ 20,000 people there. We are also looking to move more and more hardware and tech away from China to India. Luckily our main bases are not as badly hit as other areas but we receive daily updates and they aren't good, like we were back in Dec/Jan. But this new strain is a fucker and I do worry for them, even the best health system would struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this new strain is a fucker and I do worry for them, even the best health system would struggle. We've started to see a real shift of stuff from China to India over the last 4 or 5 years.....sadly, a lot of it moves back fairly quickly as India is arguably more corrupt that China, and some of the build quality is shocking. As a manufacturing hub, certainly for electronics, they're a good decade behind the Chinese, but it'll come eventually, as they're improving and investing loads in that sector at present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimron Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Up to now I couldn't believe India had escaped without major damage, this virus appears to me to be Nature's check and balance against our over populating the planet and India always appeared to be a prime target. Then BOOM. This thing seems to lurk in the long grass and waits until we drop our guard and every infection wave seems to be more deadly.
