We are all totally amateur. Not a carpenter among us. But..ironically, one of them is a neurosurgeon based at one of our local hospitals. 
of wood together imo, and you end up smelling nice as a bonus?
Your neurosurgeon friend must be the exception that proves the
rule, l bet he doesnt tell his patients that hes really a carpenter
though?? LOL!

China is very similar to the USA ????
Yeah right

No more exports to the UK?
We've just got lazy in this country and allowed ourselves to sit back and buy cheap goods from far off lands.
We need to expect less, and manage with less. Too much progress will be the death of all of us, not least the Earth that we live on...
I never had the British people down as defeatists, and indeed they are not; They have proved this by showing our community spirit and determination during this crisis.
It's going to take time; it will not happen overnight; and we need to be patient, but we need to stand up and be counted and make a start, or are we going to be somebody elses puppet? This is not the British way....

That is like blaming Nepal for the Himalayas. It is a total conservative political fabrication to change the focus from those who are really responsible for the scale of the disaster.In the US, the government was warned early enough to have stopped the massive die-off. We were unprepared and poorly led. Our President, chose to call the coming pandemic a hoax, directed against him and his political future. His "gut feeling" has cost us dearly.
China is no more at fault for this virus then the US was at fault for the 1918 pandemic that killed 50 million worldwide.

The USA shut its borders against the advise of the CCP followers in the WHO. Apparently the USA was accused if being racist for doing this, if they hadn't they would be looking at thousands and thousands more deaths. The EU were the same, telling member States to keep borders open to protect the bullshit values of the socialist supranational ideology.
The CCP has lied and lied over this .. its completely all their fault. Even silencing doctors and scientists who dared to go against their communist rulers and speak out about the truth of the horror that was unfolding in Wuhan.
The USA and the rest if the world are the victims once more of the lying Chinese communist party just like in 2005.
