Who banned travel with China? Travel within China was never banned outside of Hubei.

Niail Ferguson with some questions, 3 is an interesting one: 3. After it became clear that there was a full-blown epidemic spreading from Wuhan to the rest of Hubei province, why did you cut off travel from Hubei to the rest of China — on Jan. 23 — but not from Hubei to the rest of the world? that ...

Just seen some bloke in NYC saying that the poor are dying at a rate of ~200 a day at home currently too, but they aren't being counted in the daily totals ( haven't paid for a test I guess) He says they're going to dig up a park to bury the dead 'temporarily' because they're running out of space i...

When we tell China to pay 3 trillion, and they say "no", then what happens? Edit - trillion not billion. Lot's of things. Booted out of WTO for one. Full recognition of Taiwan and rights of Hong Kong. Increased pressing force on South China Sea. No ship visits. Beefed up presense in neighbouring co...

The numbers I have seen as a projection for USA is closer to 250,000. Dear God if this gets hold in India Yet China, if they are to be believed, are out the other side in 3 months and only 83,000 cases and 3,328 deaths. Do we blame dumb decisions in the west or credit good 5 year planning by the CC...

So, more and more cases of children dying, still isolated thankfully and I hope that remains but it did make me wonder is the strain in Europe and the US more severe? I remember there was talk of two strains a while back but haven't seen much on it since. It would also explain why the Asian countri...

I'll take your word for it. Though I thought some of the points he made about Shenzhen were quite relevant. For sure, they may be relevant to Shenzhen, and as I stated in my rebuttal to his post I can't comment on that part of the country. But he made sweeping statements that implied his experience...

What i am saying is, western countries had several weeks to see what was happening in China before cases started appearing in the west, yet did very little to prepare themselves.

Let's not even give a shadow of credit to Chinese "medicine". Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.

Does. Not. Explain. The. Basic. Death. Count. The answer is that the UK almost certainly has a lot more people with Corona than Germany, and is further along the epidemic curve.

When the outbreak started, some in the Trump administration and Trump supporters were rather gleefully talking about how it was an excellent opportunity for America to take advantage of China’s weakness. It would be a rather sad irony if the latter emerges the stronger one when all of this is over.

What do you mean backpedalling? Anyway, there’s no point panicking. It’s frustrating, but nothing you can do about it, just have to wait it out.
