@DJCayne Rich countries can from a technical perspective contain the virus and so can some middle income countries. However politically it seems impossible in many countries, I am from Australia and 2 cases of community transmission last 24 hours. If you look at the broader region East Asia plus ASEAN plus Australasia which has over 2 billion population and I think approaching 1.5 million cases , so not even 1 in 1,000 getting it so far. If there is no effective vaccine we might have a sort of segregated world for a while. Some ASEAN countries look like they probably can't contain it and 2 might fall into that position because of political disruptions.

@DJCayne Most if not all countries in my region have enforced 14 day quarantine for any arrivals including interstate in Australia's case if there is an outbreak. Usually hotel quarantine but I think some might allow at home but still enforced. Contact tracing is international here if an arrival tests positive then the country they came from will be notified. In the case of a potential risk heading to another state or country they will be informed like a cargo ship when someone has tested positive and the person removed but the ship continues on the destination to give an example will test the crew prior to arrival, I have a feeling one jurisdiction does this as a matter of routine. You can never contain a virus if you keep letting it in with nothing more than voluntary quarantine as is practiced throughout Europe and the US, up to now anyway, a couple of jurisdictions in Europe I think are considering border restrictions for example Wales in the UK and maybe Republic of Ireland, have to see what they do next.

And in other breaking news West Pacific ( East Asia plus ASEAN plus Australasia) reported almost 10,000 cases and possibly up to 200 deaths , one of the deadliest days so far. With a regional population of more than 2 Billion this is a devastating blow with some countries looking to be at risk of things getting out of control. Last statement I say in all seriousness.

In low case jurisdictions you need to look at community transmission . I tried searching their numbers now but couldn't find it. Queensland Australia has had more imported cases than Taiwan with a population of only 5 million. We have however had 450 or so cases of community transmission which is much more than Taiwan. Masks made no difference in Taiwan that is really just an extra protection, like wearing a seatbelt when driving at 6 miles an hour already your chance of injury is small this is just an added precaution. You can't catch a virus that isn't there.

Mark Sebring the official numbers are based on death certificates where covid 19 was a contributing factor as standard practice around the world. The CDC of USA doesn't have a section where it says bullet wound causing blood loss leading to death and died with covid 19. As much as political manipulation in the opposite direction might be occurring the death numbers are as accurate as they can be under the circumstances.

The chance that a person his age dies was estimated at 4% , not sure how many million that would be in the US his age or older however it's a big number. A trial of one person which in no way whatsoever contradicts the information given by the media is proof of lies. Please inform what the lie is?

That's a negative attitude and assumes all vaccines are ineffective. This could be the case but the experts think it's likely we will have an effective proven vaccine by middle next year give or take for widespread distribution.
