  1. Why has the West wasted a good 2 months of the time did nothing in preparation while China was battling the virus quarantine a whole 11 million city plus a 65 million province, did they not see if this was a ''flu'', China would not have fought it like a war suffering huge economic cost as well as lives, now the West is learning it the hard way I am afraid.

  2. Would love to see you continue your YouTube appearance in the future, wish you the best of luck! 武汉加油！中国加油！

  3. The UK government is totally useless, where is the readiness of NHS that Matt Hancock liar was going on about since a month ago, what a joke!
    96
  4. The UK's death numbers are appalling, ''herd immunity'' comes with a lot of deaths, but it seems that is what the UK gov want.
    82
  5. ''NHS is well prepared!'' Matt Hancock has been claiming for over 2 months, it turns out all were lies! I hope the British people hold the UK governments accountable for all the avoidable deaths they caused!
    66
  6. The UK gov is doing nothing to contain it, this is pure negligence and criminal, I am keeping my child home next week, I am taking my responsibilities!
    64
  7. Yes, absolutely, what about House of Lords first, be a good example for the old to reassure that there is noting to be afraid of, lol.
    64
  8. Isn't it a bit too late to start making ventilators in the coming weeks? Hasn't the UK government been saying the NHS is well prepared since 2 months ago? So they have been lying to us all this time!
    38
  9. I have a feeling the UK is waiting for when all the intensive care beds will be used up to get up and do something, a school near me (Kent) just had a confirmed case yesterday, the school is still kept open business as usual, I am glad I am keeping my child off school since yesterday, I have to take my responsibilities while others and the gov don't.
    36
  10. Some people would rather die than wearing masks, some Asian people get attacked when they wear masks, total insanity.
    35
  11. These so called scientists I don't know where they get their information from, but certainly not from WHO, not from the first hand experiences in China, South Korea, Italy... their policies not only confusing but their messages are grossly misleading, consider all these, does anyone even trust the UK government anymore?
    33
  12. So the UK is only slowing the spread so does this mean we have to stay home for the next year then, it will take a while for the ''herd immunity'' to go through the 60% of the population while killing 4% of those infected.
    33
  13. The young could die as likely as old even the ''strong and healthy'' as they consider themselves, the death rate is 14% over age 80 and 8% over age 60, and in many cases the lungs are already seriously damaged before you even develop fever and cough, the recent autopsy result has shown the lungs were filled with thick mucus and even constant oxygen will not make any difference. Time to take it seriously and the only effective way is restriction of movements and cancel large gatherings like closing schools to start with.
    29
  14. UK is not testing enough and 111 takes hours to respond
    29
  15. UK gov is a joke.
    27
  16. Even after Italian doctors has warned the world to be proactive and ready, the UK just refuse to take notice, it is clear it is all about putting money ahead of people's lives. Sad.
    26
  17. They need to be given free masks and gloves that offer them at least the minimum protection, they are the key workers that need to be protected like NHS staff, so are the home delivery people and food factory workers.
    25
  18.  @user-Seb8969  Yes, there are far more respiratory machines per hospital in Wuhan than in the UK, and there are 20 some hospitals designated for it and not to mention they build two 1000 beds hospitals from scratch in 10 days, so the UK is not ready.
    21
  19. The PPE are a joke, just look at China, their doctors are wearing hazmat suits, many layers of them, N95 masks and goggles, the UK wearing cheap plastic wrap and with bare arms, if I were a doctor I would just quit!
    20
  20. So funny people are so stupid they don't know what herd immunity is, it is achieved by getting large scale vaccination not by getting infected by a lethal virus of 4% death rate and 20% severe and critical case rate! Fancy getting your lungs permanently damaged or even die then please volunteer!
    20
  21. Almost all European countries have closed schools, why the UK keep them open? I can't think of any good reason unless they want the spread to continue!
    19
  22.  @carolefearnley1990  They no longer test in the communities, so there is no way to know the real numbers and no way to know who has it and some of the sick still turn up to work.
    18
  23. 2 months ago, Western media was all about China silenced the Dr who warn the world and criticisms of medical staff not have enough PPE so having to work 8 hours not eat or drink, and now what has the UK government been doing when the NHS frontline staff don't even have enough and correct PPE to wear, but you suppose to do better than China especially you had at least an extra month to prepare!
    15
  24. No I confirm in China all 1.4 billions are dead, the people you see in the streets are all zombies 🤣🤣🤣
    14
  25. The herd immunity is still very much their plan as they are suggesting to get people back to work the more people get it the quicker the life can get back to normal because they will be immune, but for how long we don't know, so the idea is still to get as many people infected as possible while it means millions will die at the same time.
    14
  26. Very high death rate and very low recovery rate in the UK, really would like to know why exactly, but above all the government screwed up big time no doubt.
    13
  27. 50% critical cases result to death, that is the figure come out of China.
    12
  28. @Meme Bump The UK has done nothing, people came off airplanes from these affected countries given some leaflets and then walk straight into communities, no check no monitoring and no follow up, and by the time they show symptoms after 7 -14 days they would have infected hundreds, the UK gov has done nothing as if they want the spread to take hold. The UK will be the next Italy in 2 weeks time no doubt, I also don't think the UK is testing enough.
    12
  29. The Western media is just good at lying and change the story when they need to fit their narratives, when demonising China, they only tell you the number of dead and a much higher death rate by saying that the dead was not properly counted in, and when they need to reassure their own citizens they now tell them a large number have recovered which is about 85% and stress that 1% overall death rate by saying there are many asymptomatic patients were not counted in, they claim either way and sadly people always believe them.
    11
  30. Ideology bias and ignorance will be the final demise of the West, it is helpless
    10
  31. The UK is a third world country
    10
  32. I hope there will be a public inquiry for their complete mishandling of the Coronavirus outbreak in UK, just wait until there will be a further 200 death next week and the herd immunity project which will kill millions.
    9
  33.  @CrazyHorse151  Italy had 2 cases 2 weeks ago and now 7000, so here in UK 7000 cases in 2 weeks, I wouldn't rule that out...
    9
  34.  @ladyjlovingkindness1165  You are doing an very important job a high risk job, you deserve all the protection you need, thank you for your hard work and stay safe!
    9
  35.  @SuperMagnetizer  Train from North America to Europe? What rail route was connecting North America to Europe where there was no land connection? Sounds far-fetched to be true. The virus was brought in to Europe by US soldiers.
    8
  36. Pretty much, tested positive yesterday and died today
    8
  37.  Nspnspker  If the Chinese data is a fairy-tale, then the UK and US numbers reflect nothing in reality either, UK: no community testing at all, no checks and quarantine at all at airports and letting passengers from infection hot-spots walk straight into communities while locking down good citizens at their homes, total pointless, not testing medical staff, home care staff, let them walk in between Covid wards and regular wards in hospital freely and from one old people's homes to another without any checks and tests. Old people showing symptoms in care homes wait 2 weeks just to get tested and wait another week to get results, infected people asked to stay at home for 7 days instead of 14 days as WHO advises while infect the whole family in the mean time. US: Only a flu says the president only a week ago. China did a lot more to contain the virus, most Western people have no idea. They are getting confused with totally out of control outbreaks in the West with people still refuse to wear masks and proper lock down and strict quarantine measures in the whole of China that limited the virus largely in a single 11 million city Wuhan. That is why the numbers are totally not comparable.
    7
  38.  @gregoryjones2457  OK, so, I am Chinese, I get my info from many Chinese sites, they publish info faster than the West so that is why a lot of time you will not find them in English language articles unless they are published there as an official research by Chinese medical professionals which take a while to reach to these medical journals. Fever and cough only present in some 50% of cases but CT scan imaging will show that the infection has already started in the lungs that is why when diagnose/treatment is delayed due to no presence of fever and/or cough would be why some patients' illness worsen very quickly in the second week after seemingly stable or mild at the start, this is what I heard from Chinese doctors during an interview. The autopsy was purely to help doctors to understand why it seems the ventilators fail to make any difference for oxygen saturation because the tiny holes in the lungs are clogged up with thick mucus therefore incapacitated, so if they can find a way to clear it then it will reach a whole different outcome and save lives. Again that is what I have heard from the doctor who carried out the autopsy.
    7
  39. That is exactly that, totally irresponsible and inhumane!
    7
  40. The PPE equipments NHS are provided are absolutely a joke, this is how much the UK gov care about the frontline medical staff, it is pathetic.
    7
  41.  @JeweLinHisHans  Eh, what if they kill 4% of the host, so 4% of 60% UK population is 1.5 million, you want to be that 1.5 million?
    7
  42. The UK like the US is failing in the containment of the virus, they have been doing everything against the WHO's advice and they only have themselves to blame.
    7
  43. Yeah right the UK can't say it has not been warned, they had a good 2 month to prepare but their arrogance and ignorance is the cause of the incoming catastrophe.
    7
  44. They have not contained it yet.
    7
  45. It is obvious, it is pretty much what it is.
    6
  46. For anyone still don't want to wear masks because you are told it wouldn't work or for other reasons, I just want to say, masks do work, just look at the countries in Asia where everyone wears it, the virus spreads slower there. It helps to protect everyone, the key point is asymptomatic people spreads the disease and we simply don't know who these asymptomatic people are, so we must all wear masks when we go to supermarkets and other crowed places if we have to be, very important!!!
    6
  47. I am Chinese living in the UK, I say the UK is f**ked and Europe is f**ked, but if UK wants to it still has a chance just cancel all flights coming in or just let 3% of the 80% population die, that is what the UK gov is planning to do, it is criminal!
    6
  48. The UK government failed the British people, they sat on their hands for more than 2 months while mocking and demonising China like they always do, they only have themselves to blame, only 2 weeks ago they refuse to close schools as they say children are not affected, total ignorance and stupidity. The UK is already worse than Italy when Italy was at the same point in time and the outbreak has only just started. The high death numbers reflect the so called national pride NHS is a shamble, but they have to blame this to their government as they cut down the funding to it while bailing out the rich bankers since 2008.
    5
  49. That is what happened in China, the medical staff were either provided food in hospital for for free or had their food shopping delivered to home or hotels they are staying by volunteers or army, they should not go out shopping as they potentially could be infected due to high risk in their job.
    5
  50. Why? Because they didn't go for the UK's herd immunity experiment and charged $3000 for faulty tests like the US did and they tested and treated the sick for free?
    5
  51. Matt liar is a murderer! Lot of blood on his hands!
    5
  52. Yes, choices will have to be made to save the ''savable''.
    5
  53. UK is ignoring all these, price will be paid with lives and already is
    5
  54. Funny these psychopath politicians have been lying since the beginning and it is a lot of talk very slow actions, total incompetence on pretty much all their polices and measures or non measures rather, the UK is becoming the worst affected country in Europe and it ain't getting better any time soon.
    5
  55. Way worse than Italy, people will pay a heavy price that is their lives
    4
  56. I don't understand why when other countries shutting everything down completely to stamp out the virus which I think is doable, the UK is only slowing the spread but nevertheless continue to let it spread in a prolonged period ending up exporting the virus to other countries unless they bar the British from coming in.
    4
  57. The UK IS a third world country, it has a third world health care system, I live here I know, the NHS is barely functioning on a Friday night!
    4
  58. The UK gov did not do anything, NOTHING!
    4
  59. China bought 2 months of time for the world but got wasted.
    4
  60. It spreads faster in the West because Western people don't wear masks, end of.
    4
  61. Wash your hands very well always after coming back from outside and disinfect your shoes and skateboard!
    4
  62. For the UK, there is still time, the British people need to react to this before getting screwed!
    4
  63. You also forgot to tell your Western audience that the trip is about America asking China for help with its economy, begging China to buy more American debts, don't make it look like as if China is begging America to come, no China is doing just fine, America is in serious financial trouble.
    4
  64. The latest figures from Italy, a further 345 deaths in the past 24 hours. It's an increase of 16%. The virus has now killed 2,503 people there - 2,060 people are in intensive care, from among a total of 31,506 cases, up from 27,980.
    4
  65.  @MT-mm7by  Says from someone who doesn't live there, it is not patriotism, it is reality, the Chinese have already getting back to work and study in most places, many shops and restaurants are starting to open for businesses but believe what you want to believe it doesn't make any difference to the Chinese, lol
    4
  66. For anyone still don't want to wear masks because you are told it wouldn't work or for other reasons, I just want to say, masks do work, just look at the countries in Asia where everyone wears it, the virus spreads slower there. It helps to protect everyone, the key point is asymptomatic infected people spread the disease while they don't know it and we simply don't know who and where these people are, so we must all wear masks when we go to supermarkets and other crowed places if we have to be, very important!!!
    4
  67. Make sure you wear masks!
    3
  68.  @gregoryjones2457  About the autopsies, you just need to google and you can find many articles about them, the feature of thick mucus does not relate to smoking or other lung conditions, it is purely one of the damages done by the disease otherwise I would have mentioned it.
    3
  69. Yep, the virus loves it
    3
  70. ''Herd immunity'' is still part of the plan people!
    3
  71.  @barrychung11  Yeah UK's not testing is just to save money, the UK gov put money first people after, yes the UK has given up, you are right, so sad! And they only ask people to stay home for 7 days instead of 14 against WHO's advice and the standard practice of all other countries, again to save money!
    3
  72. Totally, the schools need to close now!!! All schools are closed in Japan, parts of Korea and China, this is the first things need to be done!
    3
  73.  @williamlynd9045  Yes, people need to get real, there are 80,000 people got infected in Wuhan, a 11 million city, and that is under the condition the city is quarantined in a way unimaginable to the West, think about London, if 80% of the population of London get infected and pretty much all at the same time, what will happen to the NHS and the disruption it causes, so at least if we are doing something now that is disruptive with huge costs but we could save many more lives.
    3
  74.  @davebox588  The people coming off the plane from these countries are one of your sources of exposure, as long as you go to work, take the bus and tube, go to school you will be exposed to them, so shut everything down is the only way to avoid exposure but that is not what the UK gov is planning to do any time soon is it?
    3
  75. UK IS a 3rd world country, lol, it has been a 3rd world country for a long time!
    3
  76. Herd immunity project remember, it is all part of the plan
    3
  77. The first cases of Mexican flu (H1N1 Swine flu) was also detected in the US in 2009.
    3
  78.  @SuperMagnetizer  Where is your source, this is not true.
    3
  79.  @mysterygirl30011  Yes, that is the right thing to do, it is for the good of both themselves and the people they serve.
    3
  80. Until the coffins started to pile up in churches and army truck had to be called in like in Italy, the British will not take it seriously, when their loved ones start to die in numbers they better don't complain that they are not warned, some people are so stupid! The shocking nearly 10% death rate in Italy is not enough to wake them up that the UK is just the next Italy in the making!
    3
  81.  @MrSparrow12345  Most of us are doing our best to stop the spread by staying in, but what is the point we the good citizen get locked indoors while they let infected travellers walk into the communities without any checks and enforced quarantines like the other countries are doing? And it should be compulsory to wear a mask in supermarkets and workplaces, it is proven to slow the spread, and of course the promised mass testing is not happening either, there is just too little being done by the government, these liars fail us big time!
    3
  82. What difference dose it make, Western countries put money ahead of human lives, this is stupid logic because when your people are sick all at the same time and many of them dying and healthcare system collapse then your economy will be suffering big time, so just get on with the drastic measures NOW at least we still have a chance to contain it before it is too late!
    3
  83. Europe still have plenty of time on their hands to demonise China while their cases explodes in 100 folds per day, and still not putting a mask on, what can I say...
    3
  84. Maybe you should personally ask the Chinese people in China if they get it and if they are dumb, because you don't have a clue when you talk BS out of your imagination
    2
  85. This virus will spread a lot easier and faster if Western media keep lying to its people not to wear a mask, many many people got infected not wearing a mask in China as droplets could hang in the air for a short time, so in a crowded or confined space, anyone not wearing a mask would be at risk, it is pure ignorant to advise people not to wear a mask at all. This is just irresponsible.
    2
  86.  @davebox588  Well lets see in a few weeks time if you think I am exaggerating or not, I predict in a weeks time the numbers will be 2000 at least!
    2
  87. Yes close schools to keep children safe and stop them from spreading to carers too.
    2
  88. Yes, exactly he didn't have a clue back in Feb when he should have known better and he is still the ''expert'' advising the UK government, what a joke!
    2
  89. That is not CCP's lies, that is your imagination, most of China's 30 some provinces have no new cases for over a week now, Wuhan's cases are getting smaller day by day, people in China can see this themselves and most of my families there have started working gradually partially because they don't want the bounce back of numbers when full movements starts.
    2
  90. He must have been given a cure, isolation should be at least 14 days as standard everywhere else in the world, only in the UK 7 days, what does the UK know the rest of the world don't?
    2
  91.  @jessq6506  Close schools, workplace, transports and social activities NOW!
    2
  92. Ideology bias is killing people the West don't realize, it is the most stupid way of thinking
    2
  93. The ghosts of unknown hundred of thousands killed in Iraq 17 years ago haunt USA...
    2
  94.  @grandmatheglorious.6358  and US and Europe tells all the truth all the time as well, hence they don't test everyone in these countries.
    2
  95.  @grandmatheglorious.6358  If you are from the US, your president has been lying non stop since the outbreak began, if you are from Europe, you better start implementing the Chinese way of containing the virus, if you are from the UK, I recommend you to join the herd immunity experiment, the outbreak is almost over in China, believe it or not, not sure it will take the West 3 month to get it over with like China did.
    2
  96.  @QuntumnPhysics  No, China didn't put the mild symptom patients together and just left them untreated, this is not true. The point they were in sheltered hospitals is to quarantine them collectively away from their non infected family members but they were still monitored by medical staff in case their symptoms worsen, so no that is not herd immunity approach, the herd immunity IS rubbish, no country but Britain has promoted it as a so called scientific approach, to be blunt, it is only to cover up the incompetence and defeatist attitude of the UK government, it is irresponsible, everyone who has common sense knows it is the wrong approach.
    2
  97. Cut the social gathering large or small but still keeping the school open, this doesn't make sense as school is a perfect ground for spreading especially when children probably belong to the most asymptomatic group of spreaders, so they will continue passing the virus onto the parents in the house who are working from home for example or grandparents who are isolating.
    2
  98. They won't believe it until they start to die in massive numbers, don't wake them up
    2
  99. China has just developed tests that will produce results in 1.5 hours, UK tests needed to wait for 3 days and now got new tests produce results in 24 hrs, should have done this earlier, be proactive before it is too late.
    2
  100. Very funny people indeed! The world is laughing with (at) them right now!
    2
  101. The UK have been down playing this by lying to its people, a lot of ''young and healthy'' spend a good month in hospital in China recovering and some died too, and people in China have only just started to go about their usual life after being asked to stay indoors over 2 months, the streets are still very quiet though.
    1
  102. Because there have been people in China got infected not wearing masks by only standing next to an infected person for less than a minute, because the droplets float in the air for short time during certain conditions, so all Western media is telling people not to wear a mask are just totally ignorant, any type of mask is better than no mask in any case. It can also be spread by symptomless infected people.
    1
  103.  @darknite-vu7sm  What BS are you talking about? Wuhan has 11 million population, ans is still in lock down, some 2 million went to other parts of China for Chinese new year and now still not back to Wuhan, only a fraction of the population went abroad to visit or study and only less than a 50 tested positive and isolated but the majority have returned back to China since more than a month ago.
    1
  104.  @golfinguy423  I said as likely not as many, because I suppose it depends on how each individual's immune system reacts to the illness, but you are right, the 20-29 age group has a death rate of 0.2% and mostly get a milder form of the illness. And the disease affects males more than females.

  106.  @gregoryjones2457  I am not an expert of anything and I don't study into fine details of these research articles, I just summarise what I think was important and interesting from my Chinese sources. So about the latest autopsy carried out by Dr Liu Liang, I didn't find any English article about it, maybe it is out there but I did watch an interview by him to the Chinese state TV and there are some articles in Chinese about his findings. I used google translate to translate part of this article (http://m.xinhuanet.com/2020-03/03/c_1125658547.htm) I found online in a very quick search and quote below (I would not know if the translation is accurate as I am not a medical expert and don't know these terms) : ''The report said that the damages to the lungs of the deceased were obvious. The inflammatory lesions (grey-white lesions) were concentrated to the left lung, and the lungs were visually patchy. Gray-white lesions and dark red bleeding were visible. A large number of sticky secretions overflowed from the alveolar surface and fibrous strands were seen on the section. Consider that the ground-glass opacities seen in imaging correspond to the gray-white alveolar lesions seen by the naked eye, suggesting that neo-coronary pneumonia mainly causes inflammatory reactions characterized by deep airway and alveolar damage. The report believes that the pathological features of neocoronary pneumonia are very similar to those caused by SARS and MERS coronaviruses. However, from the general observation of systematic anatomy in this case, pulmonary fibrosis and consolidation are not as serious as those caused by SARS, and the exudative response is more significant than SARS. It may be related to the fact that this patient has only 15 days from diagnosis to death and a shorter course of disease, and more systemic corpse examination data and histopathological verification are needed. Liu Liang's team found that from the section of the lungs of the deceased, mucus secretions could be seen. Liu Liang made an analogy: alveoli are like the front-line battlefield, mucus disrupts traffic, oxygen cannot be sent, and front-line positions are easily lost. At present, ''road'' opening is the key, but now ''roads'' are blocked. An autopsy does not guide medical staff to intervene in all cases, but for lung mucus problems, you only need to dilute the alveolar mucus, such as turning back and patting the back, using sputum medication, can change the situation.''

  112.  @Harthorn  There are too many fake Chinese like you spreading BS, just by looking at the way you spell your name I already know. How badly has the CCP robbed you and you really think the other so called democratic governments don't do the same or worse? The CCP is no saint but it ain't half as bad as any other world government, you need to go back to Hong Kong or Taiwan and stop profiting from China yet at the same time bad mouth the hand that feed you!

  114.  @Harthorn  First, since the CCP is so horrible to you why are you still living in the Mainland not going back to your frog well? I guess the CCP provided you so much perks and benefits as a ''compatriot'' you do not want to leave? But you are not real Chinese only a shameless cheat grabbing the benefits the CCP offers you while you can, there are so many of shameless people like you in the Mainland, like I said bad mouth the hand that feed you and pretending to know about MY country. BTW, China will do what it needs to do to maintain its territory integrity but what group or ethnicity you identify yourself with is a different matter, just so that you are clear, it is illegal to do business in China while trying to incite separatism, so watch out, you risk of being deported back to your well any time if you talk anymore BS. Lol!
    1
  115.  @Harthorn  Could not think of any bad things the CCP did to you? Not even one? Tell me at least something so I can verify with the Chinese authority if it is true, lol, I guess you can't even read and write Chinese, life must be hard for you there in China, lol...

  121. Yes, it is either all or nothing, otherwise it would not work, that was what happened in Italy 3 weeks ago, a sort of ''lock down'' but still people were all over the place in streets, parks and shops and transports were running as usual, workers going to non essential works, they really only started to do a proper lock down a week ago after taking advice from China.

  122. Better the trip is cancelled, it will just be a complete waste of time, we Chinese don't mind not attending such a meaningless meeting anyway. Don't bother, enjoy the balloon intrigue.

  123. Look at Italy if you don't want to believe China's numbers, it is about 3.5% at the moment. Problem is that is average, it is 14% for over 80 and 8% for over 60, and critical rate is 10% and out of these 50% will die.
    1
  124.  @DavidSmith-wp2zb  Sorry the numbers from Italy is 79/2502. And remember most importantly is the critical case rate of 10% and 50% out of that will die as it was reported in China and this is a fact. If people are not treated promptly they will die, I know that in Wuhan hospitals there are far more respiratory machines and hospital beds than the UK, so the death rate will be even higher with lack of facilities here.

  125. Yes, a lot of of the man who died were heavy smokers

  128. Yes, you got that idea right that is what I think too, all or nothing, but remember they still want '' herd immunity'' even they deny it. They still want everyone to get it but in a pace where NHS can cope.

  129. This is an airborne virus that is why it extremely contagious, there has been a case that a person getting infected in less than 15 secs standing next to an infected person without mask.

  132. Self discipline and compliance will be the biggest challenges face the UK and the West if ever the people there will have to face the same level of quarantine as Wuhan, you just need one ''super-spreader'' to put a whole family or community in ''danger'' or worse as it had happened in China, but not very often though, most of the time the Chinese worked as a team and looked out for each other at this special time, this ''battle'' really brings out the most heroic spirit of people.

  140. They can reopen school in June all they want, I ain't letting my kid be the herd immunity guinea pig. I don't know how you could do social distancing in schools, not to mention they normally are the biggest breeding grounds for all sort of germs. China reopened schools last thing when only very few new infections took place, but for the UK, the worst affected country in Europe, the infection rate is still far too high to even reopen workplace.
    1
  141.  Deep Thought  What you mentioned is one of the reason why China contained the spread better but the main reason is as I said EVERYONE in China wears a mask so it slows the spreads, masks do work, especially when you don't know who is infected and even the ones who are infected don't know themselves but are very contagious while asymptomatic, so everyone needs to wear a mask just to be safe, it is the minimum protection for everyone, especially it is a known fact that this virus could spread through droplets aerosol in the air in certain weather conditions/humidity and in enclosed spaces like buses and tubes and air conditioned indoor places.

  142. Naughty Channel 4 news missed to report the fact that it was Pelosi's visit to Taiwan that triggered the Chinese's response of military exercises over Taiwan, funny Western media propagate by omission, who are you fooling, oh the the majority of the Western public.

  145. Problem is how long this delay phase to suit the NHS capacity will have to last, if it last for 6 months or a year and the virus is still spreading, but just in a slower pace, that means they are still looking to achieve the ''herd immunity'' till the vaccine comes out, this prolonged period of social distancing is really going to take a toll on most people and businesses, so personally I'd rather prefer relatively shorter quarantine time (shut down) and then getting back to normal life like what China is doing.

  149. The following is a comment reply I received earlier, please read it and pass this message to more people. 安之若素 I am in China and this is a preparatory disease and no one encourages wearing face mask in the UK as preventative measures but only washing hands which is to my surprise. The statistics in China is that 50% of the patient do not have high fever at the start and even with no symptoms but very contagious during the incubation period (14-28). People get infected in just 15 seconds interactions. 1/5 will develop sever conditions which need to be looked after at intensive care/ critical care and 60% of these serve cases will result in death. Pls. keep in mind that in 2 months, China has built 2 new hospitals ( 2000 beds ) and 25 container hospitals for containing the virus of the infected. 40K medical staff had poured into Hubei with its own 150K medical staff. Sth more from a person from wuhan I'm a Chinese from Wuhan, I hope anyone who sees my message understand/spread out my message that all big metropolitan cities around the world should adopt measures such as the 1000-bed makeshift hospitals that accommodate the coronavirus carriers(including asymptomatic and suspected cases) to prevent more healthy people from being infected . Don't let those mild/asymptomatic virus carriers off home because they will infect their family members if they don't live alone. The coronavirus has long incubation period (can be up to 24 days, before people realise they are infected), and long therapeutic period (which means occupation of the hospital resources for too long/per patient in hospitals), mild-severe patients will soon flood hospitals needing some level of medical intervention, but hospital beds won't be enough in any metropolitan city (Korea/Italy are both already experiencing tsunami of incoming COVID-19 patients in hospitals, which is exactly what Wuhan hospitals started to experience in mid-January until recently, a month after Wuhan lock-down). If these mild to mid-severe patients can't be treated in time by professionals, many of them will develop into severe-critical condition patients, and may die eventually although they could be saved if medical intervention came available earlier in their illness development. The only effective measure to stem the spread of the virus, and to lessen pressure on public health infrastructure is to identify anyone who may have been infected (adding the result of Computed Tomography Scan result showing lungs infection images into clinical diagnostic criteria to aid diagnose, relying solely on virus test lab results could be misleading and wrongly releasing virus carriers into society, which in turn seed the possibility of more people infected) , isolate them into quarantine locations stringently and immediately. This is the only way to reduce the amount of people that may die caused by lack of medical resources. Otherwise the death rate of the COVID-19 will be far higher than 2%.

  151. China: Proper lockdown and strict quarantine measures taken very early on, nationwide effort with EVERYONE taking part to stay at home and 40,000 doctors and planes and planes load of supplies sent to Wuhan from all over China, build 2 hospitals in 10 days, fought it like a war. West: Spent over 2 month smearing, demonising and criticising China and in the mean time did nothing to stop virus from spreading, no checks no quarantines for passengers coming in from ports, no preparation of mass testing, no preparation of PPE equipments, not informing its citizens of the seriousness of the disease even they knew full well about it since early January. Conclusion: The West: total out of control outbreaks with out of control infections and death numbers. China: largely contained outbreak which limited deaths and infections to a few cities in a single province. Yeah that is why the numbers are not comparable, totally two different situations we are looking at here.

  152. I don't understand why Western people just don't want to put masks on, it will save their life! That is why the entire Asia are using them! The virus can be passed on in less then 15 secs from people standing next to each other! The droplets could form an aerosol and hang in the air so you need a mask!

  157.  @rndmfella1874  You are stupid, China limited the outbreak to Wuhan and the Hubei province only, and there are only limited imported cases and cluster in other parts of China, so you can't use the overall population of China as a reference because China did not let the virus run rampant like some other countries are doing.

  160. Swine flu (H1N1) was originated in the US, during the 2009/20010 H1N1 pandemic, the US didn't take any measure to contain it and let it spread worldwide killing estimated 151,700-575,400 people, no one has criticised and blamed the US for their poor way of handling the pandemic. And no one has called it ''the American virus''.

  161. April, 2019: New York City Quietly Conducted An EBOLA DRILL Shortly Before Congo Migrant Surge August, 2019: Over Safety Concerns, Deadly Germ Research Is Shut Down at United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, in Fort Detrick, Maryland August, 2019: Reports of cluster of pneumonia like illness showing all symptoms as Covid-19 in Maryland near Fort Detrick. October, 2019: clinical report of unknown pneumonia, CDC claimed electric smoking as possible cause. Oct. 18: Event 201, high-level pandemic drill was held in New York city, New York. CIA director attended. fact: CDC estimate 10,000 deaths in USA already occurred at the start of flu season Sept-Dec 2019 fact: a doctor in Washington State happen to be taking swabs for flu (INFLUENZA) for a study while monitoring flu deaths fact: by the time COVID-19 was recognized surfacing in China; the doctor re-examined flu samples in Washington State discover COVID-19 already PRESENT earlier in 2019 from deaths MIS-ATTRIBUTED to INFLUENZA from those who DIED but NEVER been to CHINA ... this doctor in USA was TOLD (by local/state authorities) to STOP CHECKING past deaths !!! (SILENCED to cover up the facts ... just like in USA before!) fact: CDC estimate 12,000 more deaths, totally over 22,000 deaths in USA already occurred by the time flu season Jan-Feb/Early March 2020 fact: ONLY USA has ALL EARLIEST COVID-19 strains BEFORE others had "only later strains" that can only come from earlier strains !!! USA: COVID-19 Strains A, B, C, D, E ... (yup, oldest A to latest E) USA has them all ... no surprise; they can't bother to sort out INFLUENZA deaths from COVID-19 deaths because they didn't know it was already killing thousands of Americans back in 2019 (they don't do much testing; at least when not expecting it; to them all respiratory deaths look the same) Others: COVID-19 Strains = some B, some, C, some D, some E, some a mix of B/C/D/E ... NONE have A (USA Exclusive) (like China, Korea, Japan, SE Asia, South Asia, UK, Europe, etc) RIGHT NOW, USA still cannot adequately test for COVID-19 in 2020 March, so they still cannot tell the difference between INFLUENZA DEATHS ... from COVID-19 deaths !!!

  165.  McDonalds Farmer  You are full of BS you know it, what make you think my government is the Chinese government, I live in the UK, so the government responsible for these massive screw up is the British government, and about China, it is laughable to suggest China ''allowed'' the virus to spread when clearly it was not the case. When China sealed of all the ports of the epicenter Wuhan very early to prevent spreads your incompetent UK government allowed travellers from affected countries( not only China) to come in without any checks and quarantines therefore spreads began. In fact the imported cases to the UK from China was less then 10 and was reduced to zero by the beginning of Feb. The mass spread started when people travelled to all over Europe from Italy when their patient zero had no travel connection with China at all, you know this so stop accusing the Chinese, your lying government had 3 months to prepare since the Chinese told the WHO on 3rd Jan a pandemic is taking place but ignored the seriousness of it and failed to get ready including getting the tests and PPE ready, now you have the cheek asking the Chinese to provide them for free and blaming them for this failure, so since when China is responsible for the internal affairs of the UK? Talking about paying back, what about the UK return all the looted treasures and compensate the Chinese for all losses over the Opium War as Britain was nothing but the world biggest drug dealer! Now shut the f up and enjoy more deaths caused by your failed government and get your share of herd immunity as you are treated as such!

  166. In China, there has been pregnant women who got infected and the baby could also get infected from the mother, so really quite dangerous to pregnant woman.

  167.  MegaCarboman  I wear N95 masks, but any masks is better than none, it is an extra layer of protection, by the way isn't it better if the virus goes onto the masks instead getting breathed straight into your mouth and nose? But do what you like, it is your life you are responsible.
