Certainly worthy of further scrutiny as its now been more than a year since the virus appeared & no-one is closer than a best guess as to where it actually originated......

Prof Shi Zhengli may well welcome investigation of the lab, but clearly the Chinese Govt. do not, so I don't hold out much hope for any real discoveries by the WHO team....they'll only find what the Chinese state want them too.

So given they'd got previous experience with SARS etc and a system set up, why didn't we use it as a template for our own response instead of the route we took?

I agree SBD, there were definitively lessons that should’ve learned and incorporated into our planning. Pretty much the whole of western world has been caught out by this.

Apparently in the U.K. our pandemic preparedness was supposed to be better than most....prepared for what though ??? How the fuck didn’t we have a U.K. manufactured reserve PPE supply chain for example ??? Whilst austerity has impacted aspects such as lack of nurses - the profession could/should be far better supported and appreciated. That is just shocking planning !!! Also, when the shit hits the fan, additional decisions have to be made, in particular in relation to timing of implementation. If people haven’t watched it the programme on lockdown (SAGE etc) on bbc it is very interesting. There were fuck ups, simple as that. That coupled with returning patients to care homes from hospital in a panic to clear beds which just accentuated the situation.

The spread in Asia is interesting though, some even suggesting that exposure to previous corona virus may have provided elements of population with some level of immunity. In addition culturally, there are significant differences....certainly by in large that are far more obedient nations and differing requirements to privacy etc etc (which helped their tracking and tracing - apparently it was public knowledge where you had been !!!), all of which have major positive impacts in fighting the virus

Comparison of outcomes are therefore pretty irrelevant, however, that’s not to say there arent many elements of how they dealt with the pandemic which western society can learn from.

Ps Australia and NZ have done amazingly well but difficult to compare, especially NZ. Also, what would’ve happened if a vaccine wasn’t discovered ?! (assuming these ones work 🤞). You can’t keep yourselves pretty much cut off from the world forever which is how they have suppressed it

You can't drill into someone's head ideas if they think there stupid, us and the US are the least obedient people in the world, we like to moan at everything rebel at everything, the one and only thing we could of took from them would of been track and trace but why when ours is fine?
Sorry what??

There was stuff coming out from bloggers in Wuhan that also suggest the death toll was significantly higher than the official figures.
Then there's the Chinese conspiracy theory that it was brought to China by US military from Fort Detrick which definitely had some shady goings on.

If the truth ever comes out I doubt it will be in my lifetime.

What an intellectual response.

I’ll assume it’s merely down to the fact you have no coherent response, nor justification to back up your absurd claim.
😂, na just fed up going around in circles because you lot think Boris is responsible for Covid around the world completely missing everywhere else, it's quite boring.

As for the evidence scroll back about 6+weeks in the chat you will see

Be interested to know FP’s take but been told by the wife of a friend who works fairly high up in the NHS that general consensus within NHS management that the government are deliberately overplaying the new strain card as a get out of jail free card because they didn’t lockdown soon enough, didn’t lockdown long enough, shouldn’t have called the Xmas bonanza, shouldn’t have put London into tier 2 and numerous other mistakes over the last couple of months leading to numbers running away.
The overplaying which has now led to chaos all around the country.

It seems like it.

If the new Strain was known about in September like they have said then why would they not mention it then and lockdown at that point?

It all seemed nicely timed.

Yes you was. You can suck Boris’ cock all you like but you can’t choose your own facts.
I ain't bothered about Boris or conservatives, I am how ever bothered about corbyn and his stance to go against the British people and scrap the referendum results, that's why they got my vote this time around, and honestly if Labour don't sort there shit they will get it next time around aswell.

What are your thoughts on Chinese reparations for COVID?
Ummm, I would say something along the lines of paying back every cou try for fuxking us but that be to much, probaly just add some sort of tax onto there imports and Iver time recover some of what we loss, I do believe they will be punished one wya or another though.

I'm just going to start quoting your posts now, without replying. They're funnier on their own.

Fekkin got it for Christmas. Had test at Ricoh yesterday and just found out. Typical, worked right throughout lockdown helping keep others safe with sanitation stations and screens etc, now looking forward to break and seeing family and can't go! Plenty others worse in hospital I know, but still majorly pissed off!
