We all watched people in white cover head to toe coveralls dragging those who broke the rules, or were infected, into vans. We watched people's front doors being welded shut. We watched as China's economy came to standstill. How much more warning was necessary? How can anybody say that we did not know this is serious? The WHO did say that it is not necessary to stop trading with China; they did NOT say that we should allow unrestricted arrivals from China. But Trump only banned the Chines, he did not put any restrictions on US citizen returning from China, and there was a lot American businessmen over there at any point of the time, as well as tourists, and people of Chinese origin going home for the CNY, and they all came back without testing in the US on their arrival..
The US stuffed up big time but China should've been in full lockdown from the start and WHO
should've been the one to state that all arrivals needed to be tested yet the didn't do so because
that would have been seen as a negative comment by China.
China is a ruthless dictatorship; the little people only matter as far as producors of the wealth for the elites, but that was enough to throw at the epidemic all they had. They also made sure that the confined people were fed. And they had plenty of medical supplies, they were prepared much better than America or other countries.
Why do you think that was,maybe because they knew about it beforehand and they are the
biggest suppliers of medical supplies so they just stopped all exports.
They did get to a point that they were short on some supplies, but in some places in the USA, they never had enough. An in NY people now do not have enough to eat.
China stopped exports so no one had enough supplies and then they pinched supplies from
other countries.
Farmers are dumping prouce, an people wait 18 hours for foo parcels. Yet, all I hear is it i all WHO an China's fault.
The US could never have prepared for the virus and were always going to be in trouble and are
going to be even worse off if the protesters get their way and they stop lock downs as they are
total numpties.
Cina lied from the beginning and WHO didn't have a clue and only went on what China did once they started
flattening their curve and they believed China which is a big worry because they have lied from the beginning
and their current figures also don't seem to match up.
What China did is impossible in other countries and countries are supposed to believe WHO and their
recommendations in a similar way that a patient listens to their doctor and WHO kept given them the wrong
information.
And how did they get 1290 deaths yesterday when they only had one the day before by adding ones they claim
weren't counted before.

Should we then sue the US who we got most of the infections from?
How about UK, Boris announced they will allow it to spread so people will create herd immunity, rather than locking the country down? Why is it that all the countries that disregarded what scientists were saying are now the loudest in blaming everybody but themselves?

a country lied and covered up the truth!

Just saw some of that info is old have to scoll down to 18th April

one problem with all the grafs and maps and figures its all based on tested people
they have only been testing people with symptoms until recently.
to really get a true picture they need to be testing huge numbers at random.
but the figures are promising both here and across the dutch.

As i said many times before NO country has the correct numbers. People die at home, some might not be found for weeks. Others die from other causes and are counted. In overwhelmed hospitals the doctors and nurses are not interested in counting or doing paperwork. UK (?) did not count people who died in nursing homes or at home.

What was the "start"? The 1st patient with strange pneumonia? The 1st 100 patients spread over large city and in different hospitals? Nobody knew what is going on, they dealt with new disease and they could not know what was happening or what will happen. It could have just as easily petered out.
China had no right to lockdown and refuse citizens of other countries to go home. Yes, sure they kept the protective gear for themselves, BUT each country should have had a stockpile ready for pandemic, global natural disasters or war.
Look at America now; thousands are dying daily, and some idiots are demonstrating for ending the social distancing.

Nearly all ours came from Social gatherings, so just shows the stupid people who will not listen to 2 metre or more rule
