Coronavirus 2019-2020 thread (no unsubstantiated rumours!)

Considering I know of zero trend of Indian-Nepali migrant workers in mainland China, at best he is comparing Singapore to what he thinks China is like, and at worst its just nationalist fabricated slander.

He was referring to racism against Africans in Guangdong being forced to be tested. Not necessarily about Nepali-Indian.

I take it you know better than health experts?

"Between the day the full genome was first decoded by a government lab on Jan. 2 and the day WHO declared a global emergency on Jan. 30, the outbreak spread by a factor of 100 to 200 times, according to

from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The virus has now infected over 6 million people worldwide and killed more than 375,000.

“It’s obvious that we could have saved more lives and avoided many, many deaths if China and the WHO had acted faster,” said Ali Mokdad, a professor at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.

However, Mokdad and other experts also noted that if WHO had been more confrontational with China, it could have triggered a far worse situation of not getting any information at all.

If WHO had pushed too hard, it could even have been kicked out of China, said Adam Kamradt-Scott, a global health professor at the University of Sydney. But he added that a delay of just a few days in releasing genetic sequences can be critical in an outbreak. And he noted that as Beijing’s lack of transparency becomes even clearer, WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus’s continued defense of China is problematic."

You weighed a week like that, ok, then can I ask you is the Trump administration responed in time ?
You went round speaking about delaying, so please tell me about 36000 lives would be saved if respons not delayed
 
But didn't we already know that sitting a day of the letter sent to WHO because the Lancet has already contradicted Trump's claim?

Yes we did. However, this fact check includes more than just the rebuke from Lancet. Discredits most of the false claim contained in the letter.

why compare 2 dates with no immediate connection? why not compare date first decoded vs date WHO published the genome? probably the outbreak "spread factor" wasn't as impressive

The only thing that prevented the West from mounting an early and effective response was pride and them laughing at Chinese.

West has the doctors and scientists and logistics to find the few dozens of infected and quarantine them but they didn't.

How dare they blame Chinese for their lack of response. By the time WHO declared a pandemic there were so few cases in the West and plenty of time to do what is needed.

First thing to be very very clear about is that the average Singaporean has as much say in the direction of Singapore as any North Korean in the say of the direction of North Korea. And before you tell me Singapore is a democracy, do remember the full name of North Korea is the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea.

Why Singapore need so many foreign workers is not something I can say without the midnight knock on my door.

Whether building for 60,000 foreign workers in Singapore is enough, is best decided by you if that is a joke.
D and Pompeo not the only entities with smoke and mirror and dog and pony shows.

See below the tables for numbers of foreign workers in Singapore. And you decide if building quarters for 60,000 is a joke or not.

A few weeks ago, I worked out in detail and reported here the numbers in dormitories to be about 500,000 to 800,000. Sadly those details were deleted and expunged.
At time of outbreak 2 months back, Foreign Workers (FWs) were packed 20 to a room in double decker beds.

And taken the powers that be days and weeks before they moved them out. And which required time too.
And were they moved out before they got infected?

Do recall in Diamond Princess and USS Roosevelt and France aircraft carrier with much better personal spacing had infection rate of 50%.

Somehow Singapore is making the world believe the infection rate of those hundreds of thousands were only about 3.5%

Leading the fight is a Minister Chan Chun Sing, being paid millions a year, who declared cotton is gotten from sheep. Or perhaps can be spun from sow's ear.

Do not force me to say more.

At 70++ , I hate the thought of that midnight knock on my door and the horrors that will follow me.

What do you think of her?
