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.
Borris refused scientific advice , causing the deaths of a lot of people , it’s only starting unfortunately . He has now hired 20 ton diggers to dig graves .
 
99% of people on this forum don’t realise how lucky they are to have the freedom to the outdoors we have!...

watched the news the other night and a fella living in one of them horrible high rise flats with a wife and kids was putting his bins out and he said that was the first time he’d been outside in 2 weeks!!! Just imagine how bored/horrible he would feel

my life’s completely normal For this time of year working every daylight hour plus a few dark ones on the plough only big difference is I can’t go the pub:rolleyes::rolleyes:

We are lucky not to be locked up in an apartment . Plenty of fresh air, and no virus around

Over here ( Uk), I do wonder if a small amount of Covid19 is now drifting about in the air in cities and towns, now so many people may be carrying the virus without knowing it.
I’d say the crowding on trains is the biggest spreader of the virus , it’s so easy to catch , there would be no escaping on the trains

I could not agree more.
I am glad I do not use the underground rail system, where ever in the world one lives.
This crisis shows that the planet is a "global village",and when a "new virus disease" effects mankind oceans are no deterrent/boundary to how many of us human beings it effects.

Only time will tell but Is there a possibility that a relatively low level of airborne aerosol exposure could trigger an immune response for some healthier individuals ?

As an eternal optimist ( I lived with cattle for 50 years) gotta look to see if there may be a chance ...somewhere.

War torn Syria , how are those poor people coping???

Gaza Strip. Favellas of South America. Shanties of SOuth East Asia. Not many respirators in those places. And facing economic disaster. At some stage soon a world statesman has to take centre stage to pledge a recovery plan. Historically that man would be the President of the USA. And today it should be a joint venture between the Presidents of USA and China and the EU, the three most powerful and economically strongest nations in support of the rest of the world - a Covid Marshall Plan. But I am not holding my breath. Hey ho.
