Didn't a few hundred Iranians reportedly die from drinking methanol to try and keep it at bay?

Well Taiwan seems to have got a handle on it. They have had 17 new cases, all tracked back from people returning home.

How has Taiwan kept its coronavirus infection rate so low? – DW – 04/09/2020

Taiwan's number of COVID-19 infections is currently below 400, despite the island's proximity to the outbreak's origin on mainland China. Experts say early intervention has helped stop a public health crisis.

Well, Greta reported today that she thinks she had it, but no real test done to prove it.

Claiming to have the disease without any proof of it, a bit like Boris

They implemented a travel ban early on, against WHO advice while all of Europe was vowing to keep borders open, going skiing and all those things which infectious diseases thrive on.
By failing to limit international travel early on we gave this virus the best start it could possibly need.
But did we ever have any will to contain it? I am not sure we did. Yet where it started they go all out to contain it.

Can’t really understand it, but to my mind western governments were too weak in the early stages possibly because their public can’t be told.
So now we face the consequences. A very hard and sad lesson that we can’t always have it our own way all the time if we want long term security and prosperity.

Would you take Chloroquine Phosphate or Hydroxychloroquine if you tested positive for Covid 19? Mr Trump mentioned it !!!!!

I hope “Remdesivir” is going to be proved to help against Covid19.

There's all sorts of nonsense flying about as usual, things like,
the Chinese started it to screw the US, the US started it to screw China.

There's no way China would start it intentionally (in China) now that all the world are reliant on Chinese made goods.

It does seem a big coincidence that there is a "Wuhan Institute of Virology" just round the corner from the initial outbreak.

We all remember how FMD leaked from a lab in Surrey in 2007...

We all remember how FMD leaked from a lab in Surrey in 2007

and they let it out at least once before that
the Chinese would be more careful though

Trump just called it the Chinese virus again.

Where did it come from

 

[Derrick Hughes]

Just antagonistic towards the chinese,actually came from bats, could call it the bat virus?

Question is if he proves they made it will he nuke them

Trump just called it the Chinese virus again.

Wait till he starts calling it the Kung-Flu...

Looking at the John Hopkins website, we are likely to pass a million confirmed cases before the weekend...

Just been listening to an NZ report saying that resuscitation creates an aerosol of virus and so only be used in the vicinity of the fewest possible other people in the same airspace - So if you are in the “NHS Nightingale” don’t expect to be resuscitated.

In fact if you are over 70 or in a “vulnerable” category don’t expect even being considered for resuscitation at all.

It's supposedly a punishment ?

Not a Day yet???

I'd say so too, something's not tying up.

Is it worse than they are telling us or are they making an unnecessary fuss?

Is the fuss big enough now?

Since you're answering a question with a question you seem to have missed the point in the post.
Maybe read it again.
