Facts inflated, language extreme, potential consequences ignored
Chinese National Health Service - who are providing the figures - via the World Health Organisation, are hardly lying or exaggerating!
If so - for what purpose? It might be more in China's commercial interests to cover up some of the deadly statistics.
68,500 infected since December - with almost 1,700 fatalities so far, and no serum/vaccine on the horizon.
And all around us in the UK (and from our TV companies' cameras) - we can clearly see, with our own eyes, what Dennis has done.
South Wales has been particularly badly affected - with rivers bursting their banks, all over. Thankfully, only one death so far.
I had never heard of Ms Flack; but a tragic occurrence.

Which do you consider the more serious?
The issuance of an ineffective 'flu vaccine for a year, in the UK.
Or the rapid spreading of a totally new virus, to dozens of countries - by unknown methods of infection?
It probably will depend on how long it will take for a coranavirus vaccine - to be discovered, tested, manufactured, distributed worldwide and applied.

World Health Organisation is now saying that it could take up to 18 months for a virus to be available.
And that one of the biggest obstacles is mutation.
Which can be dependant on numerous factors - such as population(s), climate and previous viruses/infections in a particular area.
It's far to early to predict a 'trajectory' - and numerous laboratories, worldwide, will have to work together.
Seemingly China was quick to share the details and DNA of the virus - allowing work to be undertaken already from Queensland to Cambridge.

It doesnt work like that.
Grown adults cannot be forced to be treated.
I know from experience.
I won't put the details on here because of idiots with agendas. This is one reason why people believe they are better off saying nothing.
All suicides need to be reinvestigated.
I will keep pushing for it.
The issue is that even when people are begging and pleading for help, there very often isn't enough resources, training or available beds so they get left even after being assessed as needing help.
As for people refusing treatment, if someone is not in danger,and can decide for themselves, absolutely! but when they have an illness that prevents them from making rational decisions, or they have such low self esteem that they refuse help because they don't want to be a bother or think they are undeserving, we should not be turning our backs.
If we see a man about to jump from a bridge we dont ask him if he wants help and walk on by if the answer is no, do we?
We grab hold of him until he is safe.
Some people need holding onto.
