The U.S. Commerce Secretary says the virus has a silver lining for the American economy.

Thursday that the deadly coronavirus will be good for American jobs in the long run, comments that immediately sparked outrage as the disease has killed more than 150 people and infected over 7,000 in its rapid spread across China and to other countries.

His comments came as a response to host Maria Bartiromo’s question about whether the coronavirus will cause the Chinese economy, which commands a large percentage of global economic growth, to “come to a halt.” He also compared the virus, which has taken a toll on global markets, to the 2003 SARS epidemic, calling it yet “another risk factor that people need to take into account.”

Lol Companies might relocate to the US? The lord has answered Ross' prayers...You see what happens when you pray?

Cold detached but possibly accurate answer. If he had prefaced the statement with some statement of recognition of the on-going tragedy, it would have been better.

Conspiracy theories are not always wrong. Somebody's already talking about job gains in US because of devastating effect of the virus spread on China's economy.

That’s just disgusting

This Panama Paper guy also has the tomato flavored vaccines ready!

If you’re depending on a virus for jobs, you’re life is seriously sad
