What I find most disturbing is that they have served up oranges and peaches as part of the buffet. Yeah and I've already seen that comment as a rubbish retort.

And if 25 people represents a massive party then officers clearly haven't been to many parties. That's just the ones they've 'caught'. I liked the shisha party. https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/17B9F/production/_111438179_euc-zrmxqaiqn8h.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 14 minutes ago, i-Ram said: Chinese kept their heads down for a full 6 weeks before reporting to WHO. p.s. Pretty understandable in my view why Western Governments are hostile to China, and entering into a bit of name calling. There will be great Trade implications for China when this current crisis gets sorted. In fairness, would they have known day one that it was a potential pandemic. It seems the initial spread was pretty modest. It's pretty likely that it only became evident that this was potentially a global issue after a matter of weeks anyway. I'm also unsure whether western MSM is any more reliable in its reporting of the facts than the Chinese state controlled equivalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 2 hours ago, GboroRam said: We've been waiting for a virus to cross from animal to human for a long time. 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. The food we eat is cultivated and farmed. Part of the success of farming is due to the control and eradication of disease. These new viruses that transfer from animals to humans do not originate in cultivated farmed animals. They originate in wild animals. Many of the examples originate in China because they keep exotic animals in live markets, to be slaughtered in appalling conditions. The virus - harboured in the body fluids of the animals - then transfers to the hands of the butcher, and from one dirty individual to the rest of the world.

If you want to talk about lefties, centrists or political issues, we have a dedicated thread for that. @Paul71 referred to the politics in this thread and I wrongly said we're able to keep it sensible. My mistake. Apologies Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the one China tried to say was bat poo crazy. Pun intended. Still have no idea what your point is or how it's relevant to the post you quoted. I'm not pro-Chinese nor have I stated that there was no delay, but feel free to rant away if it pleases you. And you do know that's not how dying is written, right? Sorry, it's just one of my pet hates when people who pull others up on their syntax or grammar only have the spelling ability of a 5-year-old. Cracking pun though, so there's that... ?

Don't pull anyone up on spelling or grammar. A doctor, in the video I posted, tried to get the word out well before the Chinese Communist Party told the world. That's my point. A very simple one very much related to what you put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she's brought home 4x tins of skimmed milk powder from her ice cream business. So I'm in for a load of rice, macaroni, semolina etc puddings over the next few weeks......? You lucky, lucky man. I loved them at school dinners. Throw in some vanilla and cornflour custard. Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
