Re: Chinese Coronavirus
My friend from Malaysia will not be visiting in April. The Malaysian Government has just announced that citizens will be prevented from overseas travel and all arrivals will have to self isolate for 14 days.I wonder what they will do about the hundreds of thousands of workers who travel to Singapore to work everyday and return at night? That is a very special problem, at the moment Singapore has exempted workers who travel across the causeway between Malaysia and Singapore from the travel restrictions and isolation requirements.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
If the various governments do nothing about the lack of food in the stores, I fear that there will soon be rioting and looting.Nothing worse than a totally panicked AND hungry population.
I used to laugh at those "end-of-the-world survivalists" who have stockpiled food. I'm not laughing any more

It would do most people good to eat less anyway.
Ya gotta laugh at this panic buying though:

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
HiOur NHS and Public Health Systems have been savagely cut.
We have fewer Hospital Beds per head of Population then Italy, France and Germany.
Get over it and accept the reality of the situation.
The number of collateral deaths from non Coronavirus will be at least as high due to lack of capacity.
We do not train enougth doctors, we stsrted charging our own to become nurses, relying in immigrants to fill the poats.
They are not coming now and are understandably leaving in droves to go home and look after their own.
All this to save a few pence in Tax.
