Tbf, I think we can safely disregard anything the Chinese government says

China reporting no new local infections for 2 days, tentative at this stage but at least something positive

Not to be tinfoil hat or @Paris about it but can we believe anything they say about this virus ? At best surely scepticism should be our default

He has big muscles so I'm inclined to listen to him. Get down the gym Witty you blooming sissy.

He makes a good point tbf
Ive said the same all along

No he doesn't. The problem is that while he'll be fine in all likelihood, he'll pass it on to dozens of people, who then pass it on to dozens more, and the likelihood is they'll have relatives that won't be fine.

That post is the epitome of idiocy.

Erring on the side of caution has always been a wise choice...unless you consume right wing media as your only source of news. The is no wisdom to sticking your head in the sand and poo pooing actual facts.

Imagine being part of an ideology that’s default is playing down on pandemics

The Virus is Yet Another Reason for West to Rethink Relationship with China

There is nothing to suggest the virus is manmade. But Chinese policies, including suppression of early reports about the outbreak, have contributed critically to the new pandemic.

Hate to say it but... *sigh*... Farage is totally correct on this.

but it is a manmade virus?

Not engineered, but it's as manmade as a natural evolutionary virus can possibly be because of the actions of China.

Is he chuff. He’s just using his usual dog whistle racism to push towards the narrative he wants. He’s been crapping on about the Huawei 5G deal ever since whoever slid him a wedge to do so. He’s now using this crisis to try and reignite that debate.

His motives may be incorrect, but the overall thrust of what he's saying about the virus is 100% on the money.

The Huawei 5G stuff I couldn't give a rats arse about like.

they are lying, they know europe is in big crisis and trying to go "well not our problem anymore" second wave will hit them even harder, not wishing that like

 

[Paris]

This aged well.

Got through 30 seconds of that before my eyes nearly rolled into the back of my head, what a chode

You don't know they are lying and it does sound like you hope a second wave hits them to be honest

Why scaremongering without facts
