Whether we believe it is 'under control' in China, the US or anywhere is dependent upon whether we accept the reports are accurate or not. Personally, I have doubts. And I can't imagine how each Government would know for sure. Just look at the latest fatality numbers coming out of GB where they finally took into account the deaths in aged care homes. I think these reports should be taken with a grain of salt. I would rather believe what the doctors and nurses at the front line have to say, but we're not privy to much of what they have to say.


Nobody is saying the number are accurate; they are NOT correct anywhere in the world.  To be correct you would have to keep testing the whole populations and also test everybody who dies. 

 

We are learning new worrying facts daily.  For instance some young previously healthy people with few symptoms are getting blood clots and strokes.  Up till now, people could have died having stroke and it would not counted as corona virus death.  Only few weeks ago nobody was talking about the COVID19   affecting kidneys, liver and heart.  But actually, China was reporting these facts back few month ago.    If you could be bothered you can look back where I have mentioned that earlier somewhere in this topic. 

It is not in China's interest to keep the facts secret, they need as much as we all do cooperation of the whole scientific world to combat this.  They imposed very harsh conditions on their people and their strategy paid off, and they will not want go backwards.  China just announced isolating yet another town where infection was diagnosed in student (s) who just returned from New York.

 

If anybody is downplaying anything it is Trump, who cares more about the economy than about how many people will die.  I just watched the American ABC news showing people waiting for many hours in line for food baskets and in the end getting nothing.  In meanwhile the farmers cannot find anybody to collect their produce and so they are dumping it. You can see the repeat on SBS VICE LAND at 3.30pm.

 

China seemed to cope and supply food to the people locked in their places.  I have seen many messages from Wuhan, people saying they are bit low on certain food items, but nobody had to line up for 7 hours to get a box of food.

Clive Palmer has purchased 32,900,000 doses of hydroxychloroquine, and donated the supply to the National Medical Stockpile.

The controversial businessman believes the much-hyped malaria drug is the “best hope” for those suffering COVID-19.

Did they mention how much Pine-O-Clean he has bought and donated? And light? 😂

I agree with you about Trump. He doesn't seem to be able to hide his stupidity or his lack of caring about the number of Americans who have died. And I don't think he cares what anyone thinks. I am convinced he is a narcissist.

 

But I am not able to judge the Chinese leader or leaders of other countries because they are smarter than Trump in concealing their inner thoughts and feelings. So as I wrote, I choose to take all reports with a grain of salt and suspect much propaganda concealed within those reports.

China told us end of December/early January and gave samples to every lab around the world, who asked.  The Australian lab had it 1st week in January and developped the diagnostic kits within short time.  You cannot declare pandemic when it is not a pandemic. 

 

So China told the world BEFORE they had cases as their first reported case was the 30th of

 

December.

 

You do not seem to understand the word pandemic = epidemic that is spreading across the whole world.  Back in January with 44 dead,

 

By the 30th of January they had 213 deaths.

 

If you did not know back in January that this is potentially dangerous then you do not listen/watch/read the right kind of news, but it really does not matter, it is not your job to know.  If governments did not know, then they are in dereliction of their responsibilities.  Now they try to blame China for their inaction. 

 

What part of the World Health Organisation being the experts and notifying the world of any health

 

risk don't you understand as Government aren't experts in cases like these so they got guidance

 

from WHO.

That's what the world went on and WHO went on what China told them.

 

They blame China because that's were it started and they lied from the beginning.

By the way, while the 1st  cases in Wuhan were in December, there where some undiagnosed cases in other parts of China some months earlier; the connections were made only  months later, but reports were made back in November and shared.  At that time there was no reason to believe it spread human to human, that is something that only started to be suspected in December.   

 

 

You need to supply evidence of that as that doesn't support anything that has been reported

 

previously.

It could mean there was a different way of infection that had nothing to do with the wet market.

WHO in all their report only state that the first case was 30th December and everything goes

 

forward from there and there is no mention of earlier cases anywhere.

 

Why do you stick up for China which is the cause of this pandemic and anyone from there that tried

 

to warn the world has disappeared so why would that happen if China had told the truth?

No they don't as they have teams in place for these sort of outbreaks because they know it will

 

keep happening.

 

They have never requested outside help as they simply want to control things themselves.

 

It's only that they know that outbreaks have to be reported that the world found out but China

 

controlled when that report went in.

 

They didn't let WHO in until the 16th of February when it was way to late for the rest of the world

 

to try and combat the virus.

 

They imposed very harsh conditions on their people and their strategy paid off, and they will not want go backwards.  China just announced isolating yet another town where infection was diagnosed in student (s) who just returned from New York.

 

It's because it's China where if they say jump the citizens would just jump and wouldn't even ask

 

how high in case they got punished.

State run means they have things in place where they can control most aspects of every citizen in

 

their country so supplying food would be a simple matter for them.

Darwinism in action.

 

Except the types gulled by Fox would be the ones who are creationists.

 

Trump should be worried. His voter base is dropping quicker than the Democrats'.

He's also taken out a special two page spread in the West Australian (and probably other papers too) to advertise the fact.
