We would have way less international travel to and from to every country from China. And so limiting the spread of any potential virus. The threat of a lack of international trade would hopefully force them to reform their food hygiene standards. With more inspections and closures of restaurants, markets, stalls that do not comply. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just too many variables to ever compare like for like using one of them with any confidence. Well, if we’ll never know if Italy and France got their tactics right, or we got it right, and there’s too many variables to tell, then thank goodness we never went full Monty this week too, if we’ll never know it would have been any different from the Italian approach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine ordering a coffee from one of them, because you're too fucking lazy to get up and stick on the kettle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So by your own admission, it may limit transmission but would not prevent it. Given the Chinese in that situation would have little to lose, do you think they would admit to the rest of the world that they have a problem, or do you think they would leave it for the rest of the world to realise they also have a problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not "may" it would limit any transmission massively. I think they would have plenty to lose, their whole economy. And so would be open and willing to reform. With inspections and sanctions enforced by their government and outside agencys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
