Agreed. Sorry to go off topic but I rate China a bigger concern than Russia or anyone else for that matter. They building artificial island around the world .... ( for what ) .... along with all that you have mentioned. Our government here in Oz have allowed them to take out 99 year leases on two ports, Darwin & Newcastle..... totally unbelievable.
They also have nearly 4 times as many hospital beds as the UK does, a proportionate number more critical care beds, staffing to match, a federal system which allows quick decision making at regional and local level, health and social care funding which is transparent, equitable, encourages investment and supply in health and social care and is relatively non politicised, and in the case of COVID19 they traced, tracked and isolated the infected rapidly from the very outset.
I lived in Australia in the late 80's (Perth). I remember back then that Australia used to sell iron ore and other products to Japan and China for next to nothing and they would turn them into cars and other stuff to sell back to Australia for a lot of money. I agree that artificial Island is weird. I have said for years that if China wanted to ever invade somewhere it would be Oz
Ah clarity that you have been talking absolute nonsense for years then. You can't just imply no matter how loosely that China might/have an interest in invading Australia. This is the sorta inflammatory language that the media rightfully get **** for, it's the sorta thing you'd expect to read in the sun or mail. It's not going to happen so why say it at all?
Whatever happens, the final death toll will be recorded. They made that clear in the briefing. They are not trying to hide numbers and all deaths will be recorded. What was worrying news was that in 24hrs 92 retirement homes reported cases. This disease will kill off many older people.
Some stark warnings from here..... Ireland is likely to remain in virtual lockdown for much of 2020 to fight the coronavirus, it has been starkly warned. Hopes have been dashed that some of the toughest restrictions on social and sporting life will be lifted by summer, and there should be a return to relative normality soon. Chief medical officer Dr Tony Holohan said people will be dealing with restrictions of one kind or another until a coronavirus vaccine is available. But scientists have said a vaccine is 12 to 18 months away. https://www.msn.com/en-ie/news/coro...covid-19-is-found/ar-BB12A89L?ocid=spartandhp
Police have launched an online tool to help grasses report breaches of social distancing. For ****'s sake.
Did they get their online tool from on here, we seem to have some spare. After me being contrarian on this issue a couple of days ago I now have a close to home example of vindictive grassing and stupid policing. Dickheads.
Two worrying reports on the BBC 1 o'clock news 1. The Scottish government are "concerned" that specific PPE destined to Scottish Care Homes System have been rediverted to England for the central ordering hub, leaving Scoottish care homes without the PPE they were expecting and had paid for. Matt Hancock is currently unable to comment 2. The UK has 3 times declined to join in with a EU central order for PPE, because, we are doing OK without it. I would propose ...that perhaps we are obviously not doing particularly well on ordering and distributing PPE at the moment
In other news......Hunter have donated 1,500 pairs of boots to the service for all the hard work we do. All this free stuff is great....Now I’ve just gotta get me a pair
