And this is an interesting comparison of China handling of the 2019 corona virus and the way USA handled the pig flu


Bravo! Liu Xin right on the button.Fact speak for itself. Right now they took China misfortune and launch ideological offensive disparaging Chinese system saying Chinese system is flaw, slow and awkward and. Their's is better But as Liu Xin point it out comparing it to US response to swine flu epidemic China action is faster and better Listen all of you out there who suffer from inferiority complex and worship white man at the altar

It all talk like their habit of being Monday morning quarter back.
They should listen to Japanese health minister who said it is the virus to blame and not people!

Help is on the way and Chinese nation mobilized their resources and manpower.14000 medical personnel heading toward Wuhan

They pretty much violated everything in there.
What selfish people. Yet they think they’re better than mainlanders.

Five days ahead of the city lockdown of Wuhan, this community organized a huge banquet, a traditional activity at the time of the Chinese New Year, where 40,000 people attended.

Getting people together will also add to the possibility of becoming infected, and organizing such large-scale social activities reflected the ignorance of local authorities, which should also be held accountable, according to analysts.

I don't know what chemical they're using here but that seems ridiculously excessive. Viruses do not survive long outside the body, so there's no point to spraying streets and trees with disinfectants.

:confused::confused::confused:

Viruses stay alive much longer when it's cold.

I remember the labs in Wuhan. During the winter all their reagents freeze.

On the contrary, the virus will be gone when temperatures rise.

Yes

A: While experts do not know the answer for this specific virus, Prof Tambyah said that previous studies done on the common cold coronavirus show that it depends on the temperature and humidity in the area.

In these studies, at 6 deg C, the infectious virus particles could survive for close to 100 hours.

But at 30 deg C, the particles were gone in about an hour or two.
