I think it's more fair to say the cat was out of the bag before anybody knew the cat was in the bag. Each country has then had to deal with it in the best way they have been able to. Some appear to have done better than others and there are certainly a lot of lessons to be learnt for the future.
You mean, bat out of the bag:grin:
 
Newspapers are just printing any ****, to try and sell papers, they are quoting R rates from 3-4 weeks ago, that are way out of date, and the latest, mirror crap is 19million May have had the virus, yet tests of high risk people are only returning 3.5% positive. So nearer 2-3 million in reality <doh>

If so, I was way ahead of my time - I was in Aus in 2017!

That said, I could have easily caught it in the London Underground, at Elland Road, Anfield, the Riverside, Brentford and another stadium that cannot be written here jammed in with thousands of others way too tightly in February!
Yep all them places got it, go on tell us it's just coincidence. ;)
 
Due to the Chinese not telling anyone about the virus till it was too late, France first case thought to be mid December now, Woman working at an Airport, got it off Chinese tourists.
Italy stopped Chinese flights in Jan, but didn't realise it was already too late.

The point is that it is just yet another example of his ingrained, racist tendencies, driving ignorant policy and action with complete disregard for the opinion and advice of experts who have worked in their fields of specialization for decades.

Long sentence, I know.

Why bring up the R card. Just watched Dirty Harry tonight, now that's who you Yankies need.:wink:
 
I know what you're thinking: "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?)
