China and COVID

I can't see this not having an impact of the rest of the world. It's estimated 900 million people have COVID in China. They estimate a million Chinese citizens will die this year. 2 Billion Chinese are about to go on the biggest migration of people on earth over the Luna new year.

The Chinese COVID vaccine seems ineffective compared to other vaccines around the world. The COVID virus is likely to mutate several times. I feel sympathy for the many Chinese people who will die or loose loved ones due to the mishandling of the COVID epidemic.

It is believed the COVID virus originated from China and China is responsible for already killing millions of people around the world. Now it looks like history might repeat itself. [JawDropped.png]

Re: China and COVID

They report 60.000 people died just last month re the covid infection and the UK has been told to start using face masks again and washing hands, looks like another round of covid to hit us on top of all the other problems the UK has, dark times ahead gang, stay safe. [Scared.png]

Re: China and COVID

It is worrying - for the fact that the media and the government will probably try to use these figures to push for another unwarranted lockdown and curtail our freedom.

Re: China and COVID

Fantastic news if you are a friend of Sunak or Hunt etc. massive PPE contracts coming their way soon. Plus great for the government as it will be used as an excuse for the state of the NHS and not decades of gross mismanagement. If the waiting lists get much longer people might as well not bother using it, most will be dead before diagnosis, let alone treatment.

I wasn't worried about that happening before, but I am now. While they're at it, Id imagine they'd push through these motions for anti protests/mass gathering laws too...

Dark times.
