Beginning to read like the start of a dystopian novel.....

I do wonder if we are being told the whole story on this one?

Apparently already more people have been infected that in the Sars incident and 150 deaths so far.

Is this going to be the next pandemic?

The fact they are building a hospital with a 1000 beds to be finished in less that 2 weeks makes you think.

Scary times.

Scary indeed. The Chinese government usually aren't forthcoming with all the facts and it does make you wonder what the true extent is.


I wonder how long it will take before this guy falls off! https://imgur.com/a/RNhj0Wd

I dont think we ever get told the whole story.
Ibola is still a big problem, that has all been hushed up. Lets hope someone can get a handle on it quick.

Incidentally I checked on Amazon UK and the price of the masks have shot up £13 - £200 for a box of 100, with some brands not being available until March or out of stock. Apparently there has been a run of people buying them up.

Some interesting “stuff” being reported (from Australia initially it seems) regarding how China first botched dealing with the Outbreak.

Doctors were threatened with arrest for communicating their concerns amongst colleagues and forced to sign agreements that they would stop “spreading discontent”.

External health agencies soon realised that China was ignoring the issue at best and trying to suppress the reality at worst.

So why then did the WHO give China a huge pat on the back for supposedly dealing well with the Outbreak?

Australian researchers have pointed the Finger at the current head of the WHO who is Ethiopian and whose country, Ethiopia, owes China $billions that it cannot repay.

China has built huge a huge infrastructure network within Ethiopia - roads and railways and some say that China effectively “owns” Ethiopia. Certainly the gushing praise Ghebreyesus (WHO Director General) gave to China about how well it dealt with the outbreak is very much at odds with the information now coming out from other Health Organisations.

It is said that China uses this “economic takeover” technique in many Third World Countries and turns the screws to get what it wants.
