Coronavirus

Is there anyone else that thinks China has way under-reported their death toll ? Cause when I look at the rest of the world’s total cases and theirs is extremely high (for now), their death toll seems too small ... [image deleted]

China is a communist country. When the government says stay in they stay in.

I saw a photo of a factory back at work on its lunch break. They were sitting alone on stalls equally spaced distance apart eating lunches from home.

They also used various meds to treat it. Some worked and some didn't. I don't know what other government is doing but really they ought to use the med that worked in China.

Italy didn't stay in. UK didn't stay in.

India dealt better with it on its outbreak than Italy or the UK.

Basically if it was a worse virus, the western capitalist world would be completely f'd.

@Paliglass I’ve wondered about that angle ... the government orders the population to do it and they do ... as opposed to others that see government regulations as just ‘suggestions’

@Paliglass And the western world may be f'd anyway. Parts of the US still haven't instituted social distancing and are showing signs of a huge outbreak that may put the US at the center of the spread.

@windinhishair very true ...

@YoungDawg66 in India two people escaped an airport and didn't get detained. 10000 Indian army soldiers went after them, shut down and quarentined anywhere they'd been and then detained everyone and tested them.

That's organisation. We can't even stop people travelling on buses. Let alone catch someone with CV19 on a bus and detain the whole bus and test it.

It's totally the people in individual countries causing this to spread.

@Paliglass this truly is a scourge of being ‘connected’ ...
