      Earlier in this thread there are some forummers that critized some of us for being concerned about covid-19 as they said it is just a flu. This video explains clearly why we should be concerned. The video used US numbers but it applies to all countries in the world.

      https://youtu.be/gTxuo0gH_ho

      This is not a normal flu -It is indeed sad to see people suffer . So many brainy in the world still haven’t got a confirmed cure
      Be it Chinese , Ang mo , across diff ethnic grp etc all are humans -
      Here is a look into Italy , equally sad state as Wuhan previously . Maybe Eu is more transparent in their news compared to C but Ang mo did not take it seriously n not as strict as C, Korea , etc . Getting out of big hand now 😞

      https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-they-call-it-the-apocalypse-inside-italys-hardest-hit-hospital-11960597

      Nobody knows if all the countries are reporting real or fake figures. At least for Wuhan, being the former epicenter, they have 3 consecutive days of 0 cases. Whereas for Italy, the death figures are still rising at an alarming rate with no sign of slowing down.

      Many westerners think Covid-19 will not reach them, that it only affects the Chinese, so they continued partying even though they know an epidemic is happening on the side of the world.

        Yes, the westerners let their guard down, although the storm virus had started infected many people in China, since Chinese New Year period


        Going forward, the future seem grim, uncertain

        Tomorrow Monday, school Term 2 start, until May. If fellow classmates did not attend school, means they are on 14 days LOA, having travelled overseas during this one week break, self-study e-learning school lessons at home

            If this is accurate, I'm quite surprised! I would have imagined that there would be more Asians, especially southeast asians.

                  Europeans lassie faire attitudes is really unlike gangjiong Asians. Also, Italy really hv more vulnerable elderlies.


                  This is time if all countries restrict travel & entries, more limitations of big gatherings and stay-home orders, for 2-weeks to a month, shld see less spread & more chances for medical focus to help affected ppl recover better.

                  Best don’t even catch this virus. Heard fr medical professionals the lungs will be very much damaged. :nailbite:

                    I agree we are too relaxed, because our liberal elite governments are too scared of alarming the populace. I like the SE Asian approaches to dealing with it; though it does also need them to eliminate the causal wet markets. In the West, these are widely seen as the root-cause.

                      A funny line in the school mums whatsapp Group, at my son’s school. Alarmed at being stuck at home with their children for extended periods, they’ve stated that being stuck at home with their kids is likely to generate school mums coming up with a cure to CV - long before the scientists do....lol.
