China are curtailing the spread by shutting the place down. The problem hasn’t been fixed. As soon as the restrictions are removed (and in some cases that involves removing the government enforced blockage on people’s front door) the the spread escalates again.
Those headlines are sensational so maybe spend the time at home to reappraise where you get your news
Some of your facts are dubious (how do you know children are amongst the least infected. To be carriers they must be infected but who is testing them?). And your China example is just the worst form of taking a fact and removing the all important context.
Your post is completely unhelpful.
And with lines like “it makes you wonder if there is something more sinister going on” then you are not above a bit of scaremongering yourself
China are curtailing the virus by shutting the place down. Correct. I never suggested otherwise.
Where have the cases risen when the restrictions have ben lifted? China hasn't even started to relax their restrictions, due to start this weekend. ALL over the world restrictions are being put IN place, not relaxed.
Emmmmmm on spending time reappraising, maybe you should have re read the start of the post where I clearly stated "scaremongering" and "sensational".
My facts maybe are a bit dubious, but taken from the WHO so maybe don't know what they're talking about. They state clearly on their website if you care to look that "children are amongst the least infected". I have to concede though that that's most likely based on the numbers tested. Bit like saying, "those not here please stand up!" There will be no facts around those not tested, because it's absolutely impossible to know for sure if some have the current threatening virus without accurate testing, I'm sure you'll agree.
Sorry, the facts about China are the worst form of taking a fact and removing the all important context?? What context have I missed here. I quoted in terms of world figures - I'll let you guess where I got that from, but a hint "WHO" updated twice daily, but they probably aren't including all the facts.
"it makes you wonder if there is something more sinister going on" I'll concede whole heartedly was tongue in cheek and most likely ill advised, in the context of the post, but I 100% stand behind all of the true facts quoted as they come from the world leading experts and scientists. I was endeavouring to add a little humour to a dire situation.
The fact that I have quoted exact dates, numbers etc. from professional bodies should indicate I HAVE been following this carefully. I stated in another post that I'm one with underlying conditions that has to be careful along with other reasons. I know it's none of your business, but I also have someone close battling cancer, so like I also said before, believe me I know as much as there is to know about this. As a family, we've had no choice.
Rest easy knowing I've reappraised where I get my news, but thanks for the opportunity to clarify. I do apologise for trying to have a sense of humour to help get through this. Seeing as I can't work for the foreseeable future, I guess it's all I can do, but then again, you really don't need or care to know that.
