Instead of building makeshift hospitals the second most populous country in the world is using existing train coaches, retrofitting them to be used as isolation wards

Anyone notice how Dr. Fauci's voice changes overtime. He has a lot of stress over his shoulder.

I would not want to be doing his Job, however when you are at the wheel steering the ship through Icebergs, I guess your voice would change also.

I think a QR system is appropriate in the timeline we're in now, especially when kids still think that roaming around and holding hands at beaches is going to solve the crisis. In fact they're contributing to the crisis. Condom shortage = rise in the number of STD cases. Only in a crisis like COVID-19 should a "temporary" QR system be implemented, otherwise as you said, it can be perceived as a violation towards someone's liberty and freedom. I don't think the free world is inept by any means, but when there is a time to be serious about something, its time to be serious about worst-case implications on the country as a whole. Being from the free world it can be difficult to fully see the magnitude of consequences of a communistic regime. Haven't heard news from North Korea in a while.

Sorry Andy but this goes deeply against liberty and freedom if every citizen has to use these cards. Some things I have read coming out of communist Chinese government during this, they are loving highlighting and touting their Authoritarianism.

Its not spam, this thread is a permathread for all sorts of discussion on COVID-19. I try to put everything on one post, but I'm pretty much reading and watching coverage of this pandemic throughout the day (from news articles to televised coverage to science journals). I do agree its pretty excessive. :p However, You won't see me on other threads posting at this frequency. Even the mods and other users welcome the discussion of the global pandemic on this forum; its affecting everyone as well as everything on the supply chain. I've yet to be issued any warnings on my posting behavior. I make sure that everything I post is relevant to discussion. There's been no indication of anyone feeling like they've been getting spammed. :)

Yes, Dr Arjun gets first place for being the best Spammer on this forum. When will it stop?

These are confusing times. According to Sam Chui's video, did I just watch a plane fly supplies from USA to Europe? What about the people in desperate need of medical supplies here in the states, especially in hard-hit areas like New York?



So much for China's relatively low numbers....the truth will eventually come out.

Wow. We (of the free world) are not stupid. The matter is far more serious than what they claim to be.

The Chinese youth have a voice, but the way things work in a communistic regime is quite the obvious. Here's a bit from Google search, "To repress is to keep under control, to keep down or to suppress. To suppress is to put an end to the activities of a person, body of persons, etc. To oppress is to burden with cruel or unjust restraints, subject to a burdensome or harsh exercise of authority."
