Quoted from Maringer


PR China is a vast, militaristic, centrally-organised state with the policing and military capabilities to shut down a province of 60 million people to curtail the spread of the disease. After the first few weeks of inaction, they had something like 90,000 people contact tracing everybody who was found to have the disease to curtain outbreaks. They are also a very technologically advanced country these days. See also South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong who also have it under control. Do you seriously think that the 3 billion people living in Africa and the Indian subcontinent can be protected in a similar way? What about the millions in refugee camps around the Middle East, or those in other failed states?

Look at the carnage emerging across Europe, the wealthiest continent on earth with some of the strongest healthcare systems. If we can't get a grip on it, what chances to the developing nations have? It's bad enough worrying about what could happen in our own country and to my own friends and family without having to read a bundle of such poorly-considered gibberish.


This.

Choo Choo, all aboard   They have it under control because the majority of people are getting the S type strain of the corona virus, still, don't let me stop you getting hysterical like an offended feminist as usual.

Hello! Earth calling super town. Earth calling super town. We have some important world wide health news for you as you come out of stasis.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

More inspiring leadership from Eton’s finest. Everyone should avoid mass gatherings but schools will remain open. Work from home if you can but if anyone in the house even shows the symptoms then everyone has to stay at home. You won’t be tested though, that’ll be bad for the stats. Don’t worry about the chronic lack of ventilators as govt ministers have spent the day TWEETING out a phone number and asking for volunteers, not that anyone saw this coming weeks back. Meanwhile businesses won’t be instructed to close, just lay your staff off or cut their hours.


Absolutely Churchillian old boy, what what.
