China kept a lid on how serious this was and blindsided the world. Then they scoop up medical supplies under our noses. You are in denial.

Yes, that's what you believe because you read crap.
Why not make informed comments?

Comparison of countries similar population. N Korea stats would be handy. I look at Taiwan and compare to that (a little)

Very worrying and sadly confirming my suspicions about EVER finding a vaccine.from the ABC coronavirus thread..no point sharing link as info disappears from the front
I quote
South Korean officials have reported 91 patients thought cleared of the new coronavirus had tested positive again, in what they call "reactivated" cases of COVID-19.
Hopes have to focus on treatments IMHO

Awful News but Awfully suspicious, only because of what are the chances of getting it twice when the 'outbreaks' has been so well managed. Maybe the recovery tests were inaccurate.
It implies that a persons immunity is not a reliable ongoing defence and once you have it, it may keep reappearing for a long time. Malaria never leaves a sufferer (by my limited understanding).
If this is the case, then we have a problem of immense magnitude. (My limited Opinion)
 
Or like Chicken Pox. Once you have it, it never leaves you....comes back as shingles.
But if you get the vaccine then you are safe.

If you've ever read 'Catch-22' DB you most certainly haven't absorbed the major theme.
And that book was written at the nadir of modern Chinese history.

The 'West' wrote the text(s) and learnt nothing.

To all you other blokes ...Where's all the 'G5' up to date wizz bang info(wars) to keep me up on what's really going on....


(orr's that close to sweden he can taste it)
 
As one of the other blokes, Not sure I follow you @orr. Do you mean G5 - made up of 5 emerging economies of the 21st century: Brazil, China, India, Mexico, and South Africa.
or I suspect some ?gaming technology.

Sure is, results from lack of early response perhaps?

What is with the 5G thing being a cause of or contributor to Corona anyone have something substantial?

No basis whatsoever. Just another made up thing from the usual conspiracy theory nutters.
 
This time tomorrow the USA will take MAGA to new heights for all the wrong reasons: Most deaths due to COVID-19 and almost 3 times as many infections as the next highest nation.
I have looked at where the numbers are, and more importantly where they are not. Places like Portland Maine, and Reno Nevada appear to have zero infections despite having populations of about 30k and 60k respectively. Portland Maine is a major cruise stop and it's a bit hard to work out how they could have dodged a bullet. I have a sneaking suspicion that there are many US cities where the virus is either under reported, or simply not reported so far. Either way, the USA is well on its way to 1M infections and 50k dead.
I hope for America's sake that their industry can crank out PPE and test kits to bring their numbers down, but while too many watch and believe Fox news, that might not be enough.

There's a bloke around this forum that protects himself from such emissions by wearing a tin hat (you can tell from his profile). Well if the chavs and other folk followed through on proper folktale precautions like tin-hat wearing, they wouldn't have to burn down the towers!

Actually Trump seemed to endorse the trial of chloroquine at a stage.

Bonne nuit, bellenuit

Maybe the virus is attaching to the antibody?

I'm confused as to what that even means. I thought an antibody eventually destroys or weakens a virus cell and that's the reason why the BCG tuberculosis vaccine is going to be used in small doses on Australian healthcare workers to boost their immune system responses.
But how much exposure one gets to the virus would determine how severe the insult would be to one's body. So I don't know how much anti-kryptonite serum a healthcare worker would need. That's why those NY doctors are/were in the worst position, being surrounded by plagued patients all day long.
