Someone on this board will lose a friend, a colleague, a loved one. And while it wasn't totally preventable we could have made it so much less by listening to the right people at that right time. For all of BJs privilaged upbringing and education, I doubt his medical, Security or Financial knowledge can put him in the fireing line of blame if at all any, You are obviously aware of Cobra meetings, Where the people from the above fields give advice on what's the best strategy going forward, He's not the best orator as history shows. The time for the blame game is when this Pandemic has ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that's what really annoying - it is NOT a case of for us or against us. The old-style adversarial politics.

Copied and pasted the wrong paper. This is a quote. Frankfurt am Main: Thomas Schaefer, the finance minister of Germany's Hesse state, has committed suicide apparently after becoming "deeply worried" over how to cope with the economic fallout from the coronavirus, state premier Volker Bouffier said on Sunday.

Avian influenza was a big concern for a long time, and when cases were found there was concern about it moving from human to human. Thankfully that never happened - but it was always a possibility. That's why calling it Chinese flu is pointless. We are primarily meat eating animals - the only way we could have ensured we would not get sick from animal viruses is not to eat animals. The fact it originated in Chinese wet markets is neither here nor there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to some top science dude whose name I've forgottem being interviewed the other day, the top people in the field have been saying it's an not a possibility, but an inevitability for the best part of a decade. He said that bats were the biggest concern because of the ease in which most viruses can be transmitted from them to humans. Clearly, Ozzy Osbourne was ahead of the curve.

If it hadn't started in China, it would have started somewhere else eventually. Because we eat meat. Bats and Chinese people are getting unnecessary criticism. If it had started in chicken through avian flu, we'd potentially be in the same situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay I'm walking into a trap here with some people on this forum but google it, everyone was calling it Wuhan Flu or Chinese Flu until Trump called it that, then apparently it became racist cos Orange Man bad. No one has ever balked at Spanish flu or Germain measles, its just being overly sensitive or PC to cry foul at Chinese flu. Its also funny how its only ever racist when lefties tell us so; Reporter: "Why do you have to say 'Chinese Flu"? Trump: "For the same reason you say 'Russian Bots'". *pretty sure the above is a meme but shows the double standards well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how the Chinese government continues to behave and are blaming everyone else, they've put the final nail in the coffin. It's going to be refereed to as the Chinese Flu and they are going to face huge sanctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was foreign students having to leave in a hurry. I have had to throw some food away as I have had time to go through my cupboards and found some packets at the back a couple of years out of date, Like the news story, linked to the virus but not due to stockpiling.
