    Does it make sense that a smaller population such as Ireland would recover quicker?

    We are less densely populated. Saved by one-off housing?

    Again you keep ignoring the fact that US Asians are being assaulted based on his words. Who gives a flying fcuck if US Army allegations crossed the line in your opinion. What impact did it have on the US Army. Did it explode. Did it perish. It made no impact. Now, what impact on US Asians did his words have.

    What does brain washing feel like? And just as you said ‘cross the line’ which one of Trumps lies and failures crossed the line in your opinion.


    What, in your opinion, how should Trump responded to the allegation?


    Unfortunately we Chinese people aboard are at crossfire between CCP/Trump. If CCP cares about Chinese aboard they would not try to stir tensions with the US with "US Army" allegations.

    Given how essential it is that all countries cooperate at all levels to fight this enemy of all nations/ nationalities, then how come that there is absolutely not a cuck from how it is panning out in Russia. It should be called out. Is it because the normal Russian is expendable to the powers that be in that country and it is adapting the original UK strategy’s?

    You just have to look at the housing in Italy to see why it was probably a major factor . Narrow streets and high blocks of apartments and it seems a lot of people live in theses especially the older population.

    Yeah is it not possible to say both did wrong.

    It's not always Trump wrong, other side good. At that level and scale of politics they are mostly all power hungry deflecting arseholes anyways

    Trump is right to call it the chinese virus , if the chinese are trying to weasel out of their ****show by blaming the US. It came from china because of their disgusting culture around animals.

    Look at my post on 6728. It outlines every single one of Trumps lies. Mistruths. Refusal to take WHO tests as he was developing his own. Publicly promising millions of test to be available but never materialised. Declaring that it was fully contained and down to zero which meant people were not socially distancing and exposing themselves to infection without their knowledge.

    Again you deliberately remove blame from Trump. Ok put it this way, if Bejing said that the US Army manufactured the virus. How many Americans were attacked.What impact did it have on fcucking anything. Tell me. Now, as I have asked before what impact does it have on US Asians, and indeed Asians all over the world.

    Honestly, if the allegation was made (which I haven’t seen) about the US army, the US army have done a lot worse. What makes it even more strange, is if you are Chinese, do you not care about the impact on US Asians including Chinese. What hard0n do you have for the US Army?

    I disagree. You probably won't catch it just by maintaining 2m social distancing. There is effectively zero chance of catching it from your neighbour in the next flat, regardless of size.

    They simply didn't take social distancing seriously enough in the beginning. Like most countries.

    And if it impact US Asians that have never lived in China, have no connection to China, and simply because of their appearance can be attacked. Is that collateral damage?

    All the controversy of horrible internet videos of murders and torture, the worst thing I ever seen was dogs being skinned alive for their fur at Chinese markets. I'll never forget it, it makes me extremely angry.

    It's not a slight on the majority of decent Chinese people but their commi government continues to ignore animal abuse.

    Us Asians are American end of.

    Stop trying to be pedantic and looking for a loophole to offend others.

    The virus came from China end of story.
    No ifs or buts about it.

    Not all caught it in the line of duty, some travelled or caught it in other ways. Does anyone have figures on this?

    Its usually animal lovers and vegans who share these horrific clips on the Internet.

    They're as sick as the perpetrators if you ask me.

    The "US army" rumour skellig_rocks is referring to was tweeted by a member of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Lijian Zhao, I don't know how to embed the tweet but here's the link :

    "Are being assaulted "? Are they really though? Ffs I hate trump as much as the next person, and I have to live here. Why not start a new thread to bitch about him in relation to coronavirus?

    People are letting their excitement at the prospect of americans suffering show again. Good for you

    Strange logic there. Suppose it was Maurice McCabe's fault for exposing the corruption that was there in the Guards :rolleyes:

    Ah would you stop and get in the real world. My 4 year old bloody gets it. She really wants to play with her friends and go to play centres, play dates, school, to the park, playground, see grandparents etc. But knows she can’t.

    Even the other day 1 child was outside playing on her own and the 4 year old goes “I know I can’t go out and play with X because of the corona virus” etc.

    She is 4 and gets it

    What's your connection with Maurice McCabe and my post.
    That's a poor effort to be honest.

    You spin me right round baby, like a record...

    Research has established the samples from Italy are all related to Bavaria Patient 1 (shortened in BavPat1)
    Source: https://nextstrain.org/


    The patient in Bavaria was infected by a colleague from China.
    Article from the New England Journal of Medicine
    https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.105...d-mnX3d9F_WRzM


    Germany initially assumed they had fully contained the Bavaria outbreak in January - but now we know they didn't.




    all cases in Italy came from the Baveria case??. I find that hard to believe...

    There will be very few businesses in the private sector that will not experience a severe downturn in net income/profit apart from food and the GP sector. Salaries of civil servants are safe unless the Gov runs out of money. I wonder if the politicians/ senators/ Co Councillors are thinking of considering a salary reduction so as to show genuine empathy for the public at large which is being seriously financially chalanged.
    AFTER ALL , it is your and my tax payments that goes towards paying their salaries and EXPENSES and if our incomes are negatively affected less tax is paid and therefor the expenses that are incurred and that are paid for from these taxes should be accordingly reduced

    There's a case that Spanish flu which killed between 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 people should be called kansas /American flu.
