But China's population is absolutely massive so I doubt viruses or disease are an issue there because the chinese cities capacity to proliferate sucessfully in the way they have over thousands of years just shows their efficient capacity for immunity to any bug it's exposed to. Dirty conditions mean nothing, it could even mean the more dirt, the more the human immune system is strengthened, and not weakened. It seems to me that the dirtier the country is, the greater the population.

But for this Covid-19 virus ..It only takes one unprotected sneeze or cough, so we need to be more aware of this more importantly than of hand washing.

This is why I personally think there is something more sinister going on, I'm suspicious, since nothing seems to have been learnt from the SARS and Ebola outbreak.

This virus is in the human body now, it's airborne and we are all breathing the same air, so we can only be at it's mercy at this time.

Also, babies, toddlers, and small children are known to be the super-spreaders of flu viruses, they are the silent carriers without being aware of the dangers they pose to us.

Air pollution is reducing global life expectancy by three years and killing 8.8million people a year - MORE than malaria, HIV, war and smoking, scientists find.

Poor soil quality, poor air quality. Ocean life is dying due to human pollution. Countries at war with each other causing mass migrations causing ever more overcrowding of already overcrowed countries, a strain on naturally grown food resources that are already being compromised due to human pollution.

The only solution is to stop over breeding like what China had to do with their one child policy.

I was thinking about that the other day. Why DOES it have such a huge population? Same with India.

Because it's like when you overeat, you get fat. So same applies to when unprotected sexual activity is overdone you get a huge proliferation of people taking up limited useable space, in other words, empty space gets more and more occupied...it puts on weight.

Humans are pleasure seekers, the problem with that is too much pleasure turns to pain.

Well the UK govt has just put the worst case scenario as 1 in 5 will catch it. If it has a death rate of between 2% to 5%, which is within the bounds so far seen, then that'll be between 2,000,000 to 6,000,000 in the UK alone. Not a pretty scenario. Of course it will disproportionately affect certain groups, the old, the already ill, etc and I doubt our health service will be able to cope with such a scenario given the chronic underfunding of the past few decades. If I'm still alive it'll be interesting to watch the major political and economic ramifications if it turns out for the worst.

You know something like this is serious when China is willing to crash it's own economy by locking down it's workers into a quarantine scenario.

Meanwhile, Turkey is invading europe. The world is heading toward a Mad Max kind of scenario.

UK are ill equipped compared to how China is dealing with their crisis. China being planet china that the rest of the world relies on does have the most highest spec of technology to cope with this crisis unlike other countries that don't.

As for countries like Iran, Italy and the UK ..Unless they adopt China's draconian measures by dealing with the obvious hysteria of the whole issue by locking down whole communities, then the UK is going to be up the creek without a paddle. No time to be blasé or carry on as if nothing is happening. The propaganda that mainstream media feeds it's people, has it's own agenda, namely not to panic people into stripping the shops bare of supplies. Prepare silently, as it's better to be safe than sorry. Even if it does all turn out to be a storm in a teacup, it doesn't harm to be prepared. When our governement say we are entering uncharted waters with this thing, then I think that's of some major concern.

Two coronavirus patients in Devon are bizarrely transferred 400 MILES away to a specialist unit in Newcastle despite three hospitals being closer - raising fears the NHS has run out of beds and families could be torn apart.

Ok, so then how about taking a cruise on a floating petri dish, how does that sound to ya?

https://www.ship-technology.com/feature ... s-tourism/


AIDAaura, a cruise ship operated by German cruise line AIDA Cruises, has been stopped at a Norwegian port due to coronavirus suspicion.

As informed, two passengers on board the 42,289 gross ton cruise vessel are suspected to be infected with COVID-19. They remain quarantined in their cabins.
