    Though to be honest I don’t see why we can’t have a separate political thread on this
    If that’s what you’re meaning

    My Chinese neighbours had waffles for breakfast.

    Bastards. I loved that cat. :emoticon-0106-cryin

    I know that some would describe that as racist, but on a serious note, I've always felt that the Chinese communities seem to crack on and integrate, so I really hope that the odd media reports of recent racist attacks are just random ****wits, and don't signal a wider issue of them being discriminated against. I've been expressing my solidarity in this difficult times, by frequenting the local take aways. <ok>

    I was recognising I was veering into forbidden territory by expressing an opinion about a particular article.. However I doubt such a move (special thread) would lead to anything other than an epidemic of abuse. Best left alone.

    Whilst I take all his points, no matter how statistics are gathered and used, looking at the reality of a situation paints the clearest picture. And I can’t remember anything shocking hospitals all over the world to anywhere near this extent.

    They should therefore learn from the experience - expect similar diseases (meaning out of the blue) to appear again and boost the number of hospitals (mothballed facilities perhaps) and funnel more funds into medical research & education for front line medics etc. as a precautionary strategic policy.

    Scary stuff. Stay safe everyone. If you can get a mask and gloves, wear them, especially to supermarkets.

    Removing bats from the menu and dinner plates would however be a great start.

    We're about at the point that the incubation period has been met after the shut down, so we're liable to see rises all this week, which should then start to level out. Then again, I've been wrong about just about every other thing on this.

    I think they are very much a minority. Most seem to be taking it seriously, and politely.
