China took drastic measures EARLY and took the threat seriously, much to some people calling their containment methods harsh, they were the first to control the outbreak. They are not quite finished with this yet, and are not out of the woods, but any signs that the number of new cases are going down and bottoming out is good, with only few foreign cases.
China might be on track for a fast recovery BUT, as much as the rest of the world relies on China to some capacity, China also relies on the rest of the world (import / export)......Right now the whole world is nearing a Great Depression if things continue on this path.
It's DISAPPOINTING to see how Europe and America were both ill prepared - for a gd virus ! It seems USA was more prepared and organised dealing with 9/11 than they are dealing with this virus - They should have locked down much earlier, they should have applied Martial Law and order country wide, instead of worrying about what people would think of that. But otherwise making a lock down optional for so long was a mistake, they should have enforced it by ANY means necessary - I mean in times like that you have to set aside the constitution, we are talking about millions of lives and safety of the population. Biggest mistake is that they should have made it mandatory for ALL foreign travelers who arrived to quarantine, NOT make it optional, but quarantine and tested, each one !!!! This virus turned into a pandemic thanks to travelers !!!! They could have contained this gd virus at the source by applying very strict measures at all airports. They didn't, they relied too much on people's GOOD WILL !!!!
NOW it's time for the army to come in with its tanks and artillery - time for LAW AND ORDER and ENFORCING containment, this seems to be the only last resort that will stop the spread, OTHERWISE ? Well millions will die and there will never be an end to this misery.
People are too reliant on an upcoming cure / treatment, THERE WONT BE A GD CURE ! IF there is a vaccine, it will take up to 12-18 months, but likely much sooner, as the big pharmas are under pressure by politicians to rush a vaccine, even if it means gambling with the safety of the population ! People rely on a vaccine to save them, instead of helping collectively stop the spread !!!! They might be in for a disappointment, what will a vaccine do if millions are dead already. In America (including Canada) they will likely make covid19 vaccination mandatory, otherwise put you in jail. Some people will refuse the vaccination due to religious beliefs, things are going to get very ugly soon and it will be general unrest - the situation NOW is the least of our worries, the shit will hit the fan eventually and we are not even close yet.
Any false prophets out there spreading bullshit about cures or that we will be back running within a month or two are just delusional - even in the best case scenarios there is no sign in sight for a flattening of the curve, and maybe in such best of scenarios it could take weeks to months! ...and since when are we living in best case scenarios ?

Besides that i'm studying toilet-paper and it's many uses (Fascinating), This could be my new hobby instead of chess.
Who knows maybe you might stumble upon an invention and strike it rich - I have an idea..... Toilet paper as a data storage media, now that would be a great invention - potentially to store terabytes of data in a single roll of TP, it would likely be the world's least expensive storage media..... Maybe you are on to something

It was said that the tourists feed them and now with the ban on travel, there is no
tourist to feed them.
I feel sorry for them. Seems like the people that live there would throw some food
out there for them daily.
