Ninj, only quoting your post because you asked about China.
Generally everything is back to normal here in China, the same for Wuhan as well. There have been strict restrictions on anyone entering China, and until recently only Chinese nationals have been allowed into the country. Those restrictions have been eased recently and anyone with a legitimate reason (ie work) can come into the country. Before getting on a flight passengers must pass a health check and this has to be verified by the Chinese embassy in their own country. Also, only nationals of the country the plane is flying from are permitted onto the plane (only US residents permitted on a plane from the USA,etc), on arriving in China those passengers must then undergo a compulsory 14 day quarantine at a designated hotel close to the airport.

Despite these restrictions a few cases have come into the country, recently the city of Qingdao, tested the entire city in 5 days after about 12 positive cases appearred at one of the city's hospitals. The fact that the entire city of 9 million people was tested so quickly shows how seriously it is being taken here.

closer to where I live in Jiangxi province, one positive case was found in a small city about 100km from me. Nothing has changed in the city I work in, but this weekend I went back to my wife's home city about 50km from the city with the one positive case and about 50% of the population there are wearing facemasks. This is voluntary and no government directive was given.
Whenever I travel on public transport (every Friday and Sunday) facemasks are compulsory, before you are allowed on board.

Not directed at you Ninj, but had the UK and other countries taken this more seriously then a second lockdown could easily have been avoided.

Apologies for the long post.

Considering the Chinese are responsible for the whole ****ing thing, including covering it up at the outset which would of cost many, many extra lives, it's good to hear they're getting it right now eh?

It is totally refuted as being man-made by China. Even western scientists have confirmed that as fact. Despite that some people still allege it was created in a lab in Wuhan.
My main concern for family back in the UK is the way this has been approached from the first indications of the serious threat of the disease coming out of China. Why did so many western governments not take it seriously until it became a serious problem in each of their own countries, almost an atitude of it wont happen here.

Why did China cover it up at the outset?

mmm Maybe Chinastate could explain Hong Kong/South China seas/Taiwan/Uighurs? The only reason they seem to have stopped it is because of the inhuman way they treat their people. This thing started out there and they tried to cover it up. Notice how they are taking full advantage of it?

Very lame to still be banging the drum about China to excuse our government’s many failures and cases of outright corruption over now getting on for a year. You’ll still get your Brexit either way, lads.

And you have proof that it wasn't China? Are you an expert in the intelligence field now Watford? Blimey, you're not only an expert on Brexit the 606 SAGE committee but now you know all about the origins of Covid? Please enlighten me on this information?

Did I say it wasn’t? Read the post in front of you rather than the one you want to see.

Precisely. We need more of that kind of stuff, and I genuinely think that if it is disrupted that will be a negative.

Some epidemiologist* from Oxford on the BBC news as we wait for Johnson. She hasn’t given a single scientific, evidence based comment so far, purely personal opinion. No challenge to her at all.


* Prof Sunetra Gupta, the enemy of the Imperial College epidemiologists.

I know Sunetra, yes she is the enemy of Imperial. He method of attack is to say "you're wrong" over and over again.

There are much better epidemiological experts in Oxford and beyond

He would have been a member of Mosley's supporters.
Anything to knock his own Country.
No wonder he voted for terrorist supporting, racist Corbyn.
Pathetic immature contributions incoming.....

Where did that Chinstate sorry Saint come from? WTF! His profile shows a few threads re china/Covid.
 
Went for my morning walk for the papers as usual through the local sports ground by Norwood Junction and the local Aldi had a queue right out of the car park and heading towards the station, are these people barmy or what? The food shops won't be closing and I bet some of these idiots still have toilet rolls from March...

There are a couple of photos doing the rounds on Facebook of two OAP's looking for food in empty aisles of a supermarket. We really do have some idiots in this country?

Actually, I am surprised he is allowed to post on this site as I thought sites like this were banned in China?

I was in the car park of a supermarket during the week and this fella came out with five multipacks of loo roll, five huge bags of pasta, a crate of 24 pot noodles, six lots of washing liquid and fabric softener, a massive pile of multipack baked beans and a pile of other stuff - what a ****
