Article on the wet markets that includes comments from Dr Fauci. I hope that defining factor in the difference between this and previous outbreaks that are most likely originating from these places, is that China has also been badly effect economically, because at the end of the day finances are the only thing likely to really sway most people at the top of such organizations


Wait until they're buying up half of Europe's big companies that are on the verge of going bust, mate.

They'll (their scum government, not the people) will somehow come out of this okay.

Don't blame then to be honest, until same the pressure is applied to all wet market's not just in China but Thailand Singapore and Mexico. As it just reeks of some good old populism against China.
 
Ok. I will accept that wearing a mask reduces the spread. (if you have it).

I am saying that folk wearing them think it prevents them getting it. It doesnt. A placebo. Does nothing, but folk think it does.

It's anecdotal, but speaking to my in-laws, none have received any guidance on how to do their masks properly (putting it on/off etc.). My step father does home food deliveries for the vulnerable, and has the same mask on all day. He also has a beard, so removes the mask frequently as he gets sweaty, and smokes about 20 a day, so removes it for cigarettes repeatedly. He doesn't see any problem in that.

Over Easter, mother and he had neighbours over several times, with the neighbours having had an extended family knees up in their weekend cottage (~50 people). Our grandpa went away to his weekend cottage with his partner, and aunt and uncle had their daughter and grandson over for Easter Sunday. There is a very real sense that they're convinced that a mask is the solution, so social distancing is scarcely mentioned. I posted a joke story at the start of the outbreak that some nudists were collared by the police back in March, but they were collared for not having a mask on, not for being in a large group.

It's quite miraculous that Czechs haven't had more cases to be honest, and they're acting very cocky about opening up gradually over the next 5 weeks. I hope pride doesn't come before a fall.
