I was thinking there should probably be some tax incentives or programs like the military discount in the USA.

There should be, funded by a levy on Tesco and other food multiples and off licenses. They are the only ones creaming it now.

Why don't you go off and face it on your own.

Now is not the time for panicking and scaremongering.

Essential service because they sell pet food. I kid you not.

Laughable ffs.

You should have read past the headline because none of those articles support your argument that China are lying about the numbers. If you want to talk about free press in China I suggest you start a thread but I dont think many will disagree with you.

Why did we hear about the first out break then if China has complete control of the media and what the world hears?

Why are WHO saying China's numbers are legitimate? Are they part of the conspiracy?
Why are China sending all these medical products abroad if they are needed at home?

Are all the doctors and nurses that have been sent to Italy also part of the conspiracy?

Your dislike of the CCP has blinded you so that you no longer look at the evidence which is overwhelming supportive of WHO and China.

Is there any evidence that China is now hiding numbers? If there is please point it out.

The interview is nearly a month old , its not really relevant at the moment in terms of what China's numbers are.

The cat got out of the bag and Beijing realized they couldn't suppress it anymore. Initially, one of the first doctors Dr. Wenliang to report the virus and among others were arrested and told to stop spreading rumors about the virus. When China realized what they were dealing with they reported it to the WHO. You can read about Dr. Wenliang here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Wenliang

There are many other reports also.

China sending medical aid abroad is a soft power/propaganda move. They are not doing it out of the kindness of their hearts. They only care about maintaining power and securing their economy so that they can continue to rule. Sending a few doctors and letting maybe some Chinese people suffer as a consequence is nothing to them. I also suspect they are terrified of being on the hook for this when it does die down. They don't want western industry to decouple their production lines from China. It is suicide for the regime once they can no longer deliver economic growth.

Quite a few countries in Europe sending equipment back to China for being faulty/shoddy

#i'mjustsayin

One factory. It's interesting how the US media, particularly the right wing media, controls the narrative. I've seen these reports turn up today on a number of sites, here and reddit by right wingers.

Clearly there's an agenda

Oh and the US has done nothing for Europe except blame us for the virus and try and steal our tech.

I thought 39 or higher

38 is a fever
39 is a higher fever
40/41 is higher again.

For this because it's new and contagious and to contain the virus - the UK health authorities are saying to self isolate at 37.8.

It is! We're all ****ed. There's no getting away from this. I have sources in China, they were trying to open up certain things gradually, they've had to close them again.

You mightn't want to believe me but sooner or later you will realise I was telling you the truth. We are ****ed.

It would be nice if there were tip jars in supermarkets that was shared amongst the floor staff, they're not getting paid what they deserve during this mess

Why? The thousands who have sacrificed their jobs and financial futures will have gone through more. The health care workers are doing great, as usual, but that is their jobs.

60% of deaths have been in last week or 2....we're online to have 10K deaths a day across the world inside the month

Chinas deaths must be in the 45-48K mark imo

Italys deaths are likely much higher too as mayor of Bergamo said anyone dying at home is not counted in official statistics

It might not end any time soon, but saying the above is not only incorrect, but childish. Or perhaps you are simple.

Grow up.

lol, what tech?

There is no agenda from me. I'm just not being a shill for China trying to change the narrative of what their own country has exported.

If China lets credible media in to the locked down regions and they report on the ground I will be more accepting.

But they won't.

How what works? I’d love to hear some examples instead of throwaway comments. We won’t be in lockdown for anything like 6 months let alone a year. It’s just not possible.

That's worrying. I did here an expert talk on TV tho. They mentioned that kids are OK but there was concern for babies under the age of 1.

Made in Ireland by American companies.

Trump was having discussions with General Motors to retool and start producing ventilators so those companies in Ireland obviously can't ramp up to cope with any kind of demand. Talks with GM broke down and last night he invoked the Defense Production Act to force them under law to start making them.

Would you prefer them not doing it?
I guess you'd have the same negative comment if not worse if they'd refuse to export
