    I thought these wet markets in china were a delicacy kind of thing for aphrodisiacs and so on... .. not for the underfed . They have them in Hong Kong also but im not sure they are for the poorest there.... i think i see them in Taiwan as well and they are pretty well off. The issue in China is all the different types of livestock in the mix causes the animals stress and immune drop off and so the virus is in heaven

    Coronavirus

    some place in China are getting back to business as the Americans have been measuring the pollution and heat emination from office buildings and its back to normal in a lot of places. Some provinces will be more relaxed than others. The actual figures though are bound to massaged to a degree ....i agree I have some business in Ningbo and Shanghai and they are doing ok right now ... they are shipping orders

    sorry .. i agree with you as well.. what i was mentioning that in some UK Press they were concentrating in the China cover up... of the course the wet markets is where this all started and i agree it should be stamped out for good

    Coronavirus

    I agree 100%...like in South Korea and Taiwan .. and in China ,,anyone with it should be quarantined away from mainstream society.... i dont think in S Korea you can self isolate with the family . As long as the Govt dont abuse the situation at a later date as Strocube alluded to.

    Coronavirus

    Its not the wet markets .. its the cover up about the discovery of the novel virus strain... they could have jumped on this 4 weeks earlier ... remember the whistle blower who died I think Covid has now being called SARS 2 in the UN,

    Coronavirus

    A 6% reduction in GDP could mean that the deaths caused by a lockdown maybe worse or equal to that caused by a depression that follows.....It may sound Trumpian but this model probably has some legs. An "inconvenient" model perhaps. The exit strategy is the most important thing right now. Are people going accept with being couped up for months on end .... probably not ... testing seems the only way out now ..in the millions and million

    Coronavirus

    China could end up being a pariah state when this all washes through according to some press reports. The initial cover up is what led to this situation.

    hang on ... my point was that you dismissed what i said out of hand when its clearly not the case. I was making some observations on the current thinking

    a few seconds ago the top UK Scientist stated on national TV ..." we dont know the jury is still out on this". ..

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/oxmu2rwsnhi9j9c/Draft-COVID-19-Model (13).pdf?dl=0 Oxford University ... more than two-thirds of the UK may have already been infected with the coronavirus. This i do believe is the basis texts of what i was alluding to .. of course it may be wrong

    Coronavirus

    It was on the national news (SKY) .. its not my theory.they wheeled out some expert. ... just 28 died in England today ..anyway the testing will reveal the true figure very soon Im just making a comment . I have no political view attached. Like David Hume said , " you cant get an ought from an is "

    Coronavirus

    why do you think the death rate in Italy is so high... older population , extended type family gatherings , heavy smoking .. so if you add in religious worship with your fellows in a crowded place your chances of biting the dust are a tad higher

    Coronavirus

    It was Majid Nawaaz on LBC Radio who announced this.. dont take my word for it.. he is a well respected pillar of the community , a man of reason of course it discriminates ... old, heavy smokers who live in extended families are certainly more likely to die for instance

    Coronavirus

    Exactly Seven... Places of worship should be closed and not become like the 1920 speakeasy.... in through the side door. The lockdown here is not being enforced strictly it seems

    Coronavirus

    It seems that 25% of deaths in UK are from a certain religion .. and they are not Christian.. this was aired on LBC radio. extended families and all that

    Coronavirus

    Some Scientists have put the lower estimate at 45,000,000 in UK but of course its still a theory among others but its getting more credence every day. In Wuhan there is speculation that 80% may have in fact have had it and so herd immunity was reached. It could be possible that for most there are in fact no symptoms... we will soon find out when the new tests are on stream which check if one had had it Once they have this data in one supposes that will let them decide when to break the lockdown. I have a feeling that its will be sooner than we think The Wheels of Industry must turn

    Coronavirus

    some reports are coming out that suggest that 50% of the UK population may already have had this disease....it could be in Wuhan that many more have had it and that maybe it will burn itself out.. so many theories its all confusing . The new test coming on stream will show if you have had Covid and not if you have it it now , a big difference In think the Mardi Gras still went ahead , a Covid 19 party in all but name

    Coronavirus

    I think we need to wait a few weeks for some clarity on Wuhan.. Its early days yet and it could bounce back badly . No one has had a vaccine yet and as it was total lockdown so how immune are all these people really . Heres hoping for the best...
  23. Tomcat

    Coronavirus

    Maybe herd immunity is a way out of this ... the virus is going nowhere otherwise . If the economy goes down the pan life wont be worth living anyway and civil disorder will follow... ( in the UK) I think in three or four weeks they will relax the rules as in secret they probably want all the under 50s to catch it and hope it burns out( this was the original plan)....
