How extraordinarily savage and cruel, besides being a virus source.

Lets hope the appropriate people take action. I avoid as much food imported from China as I can. I hope others do the same.

I posted about Neil Ferguson going into self-isolation a few days ago. Ferguson is at Imperial College and a lead contributor to the scary stuff

I saw on his Wikipedia page that he'd been at meeting with BJ on same day as his diagnosis 17 or 18 March. It's no surprise Johnson has it
 
USA case numbers have skyrocketed. Maybe only Indonesia and India could catch up to them, in time albeit they are low on recorded numbers. I see some in India are belting people off the streets.
What is interesting are Germanys numbers in recorded cases (5th highest) is very high compared to current number of deaths. Particularly when compared to neighbour countries.
Are they just recording more with a greater testing regime and/or do they have better treatment facilities and availability of equipment preventing deaths.
 
"It is no coincidence that some of the countries where the populations have understood best the mathematical and scientific reasons why governments are taking action have also been the most compliant with their directives and seem to be having the greatest success in slowing the spread of the virus. Singapore and South Korea, both long-known for their focus on mathematics in schools, come immediately to mind."

- ain't that the truth
 
Loss of taste and smell could be crucial symptoms of coronavirus
By Lee BrownMarch 22, 2020 - New York Post: https://nypost.com/2020/03/22/loss-of-taste-and-smell-could-be-crucial-symptoms-of-coronavirus/

The loss of taste and smell could be crucial warning signs in “hidden carriers” of the novel coronavirus, experts have revealed.
The British Association of Otorhinolaryngology — which represents ear, nose and throat specialists — says the loss of senses often appears in patients who show none of the earlier known symptoms...

I would think both. The fact that they can offer resources (physical and equipment) to help Italy would indicate that they are on top of things.

China will pay a high price economically for this that's almost certain. Supply chain diversification basically kills their business model.

As such I'd be happy with appropriate measures to prevent a recurrence and permanent international surveillance thereof with the power to undertake corrective measures without further notice.

That would be letting them off very lightly given the impact of this so they'd be wise to go along with it.
 
I don't know if this news outlet has any political affiliations or political agenda, but it certainly supports what I was saying a few days ago regarding possible complicity, willing or unwilling, between the WHO's Director General and China.

 
I see in the SMH, that Victoria,s chief medical officer has openly criticised the publics behaviour as large crowds flock to the beaches.
I cant understand why he or any Australian official expects any other outcome, the media every day say the governments are crap and dont know what they are talking about, why would people have any respect for them.
It is ludicrous to expect Australians to have respect for authority, there is respect for very little these days, the media has a lot to answer for IMO.
