So what you are saying is because the Chinese government at the time tried to cover up a disease nearly 20 years ago, that ‘China’ are responsible for Covid 19?

Well no one knows where Spanish Flu originated. Avian flu originated in Hong Kong, which at the time was still a colony of the U.K.....

that would probably explain why the lockdown has been a success, as opposed to the things that HMG have organised

I watched something that claimed the Spanish flu started in America. A human with the flu an a bird with its flu both came in to contact with the same pig. That caught both flus an then it becomes something humans can catch then the Spanish flu happened. I don’t no how true that is like.
Lloyd George was far worse than him
He makes today’s errant politicians look like choirboys
It never stopped him doing a good job so that analogy does not work - even though as days pass I wonder what the hell is going on......... we seem to have gone way off the scale over Covid 19.....
It’s basically how all viruses of this nature start.
Most seasonal flus are apparently Australian.
The point is though it’s a virus. Any number of things can cause it to mutate and become dangerous to humans. It’s happened that way forever.
Bats are carriers of viruses and can have hundreds of the things and still survive.
They tend to be bigger in that part of the world which means that they are more likely to come into contact with larger animals (rather than must eat insects).
Yeah, people are just doing what they like it seems.
The rate of transmission when outside is very, very low so as long as people are taking precautions they’re probably ok.

Here is your answer.. The Government have used the powers of the COVID19 bill to fast track processes NHS England. And some companies seem to have no issues at all getting on the NHS gravy train. More pertinent question would be, why do some companies have no problem at all, my guess its not the free market...
"Deloitte, KPMG, Serco, Sodexo, Mitie, Boots and the US data mining group Palantir have secured taxpayer-funded commissions to manage Covid-19 drive-in testing centres, the purchasing of personal protective equipment (PPE) and the building of Nightingale hospitals". Never waste the opportunity of a good crisis.

Excellent article, think the deaths per million of over 70s a particularly useful metric to see how effective a country has been in protecting the most vulnerable.
How we count the number of Covid-19 deaths matters - LSE Business Review
The number of Covid-19 deaths by country is widely used by governments and the media as a vital measure of the pandemic. A typical example is the slide below used for many weeks at the daily UK government briefings. Figure 1. Global death comparison (UK government's cabinet office briefing rooms...blogs.lse.ac.uk

Actually it was 1st detected in Guangdong in 1996.
You are fighting a losing battle regards China and Pandemics.... I could also list the Bubonic Plague if you want.
Why can't you accept that China is at fault for the outbreak??? They promised to close down the wet markets after the SARS epidemic. They haven't kept their word and have now allowed COVID19

You have no hand to play here. It's just scaremongering and bigotry. No wonder Chinese Britons are getting webbed all over the shop.
