What a goal flurry!!! Could be China ’balancing the books here’. Unqualified reports of a death in Iran in the amateur event as well. Reviswd top of the table below for prosperity. Could China shoot for 100k? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 The spike in China doesn't mean much, they've just dropped the threshold for determining whether someone has the virus. It could still be stabilising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they those flying fox bats in that thumbnail? Nothing to do with the virus, but FWIW I was down a 'new' cave in Somerset a couple of years ago that had a limit on people because of the hibernating bats in there. The group leader was being very serious about not disturbing them and I eventually got to a flat-out tight bit and found a sleeping bat hanging from a bit of rope a rulers length from my face. The leader then proceeded to grab onto this rope (under tension) further along and this bat right in front of me went PING! and smashed off the roof at great force. No sooner had this happened he then sent a message back saying, "there are a few bats along here, don't f***ing knock any of 'em".

bendan Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Very dumb if true, but my a friend of mine came back from China early Feb and no questions were asked and no information was handed out. Would it really be hard to give everyone a leaflet telling them what to do if they have symptoms? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the government and health authority can't get the basics right you have to wonder just how "prepared" they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I understand your point. My friend was very well aware of the issue, and was extremely surprised not to be asked any questions about where they had been in China, nor given any info on what they should do if they felt ill. They have just stayed at home since they got back and will do so until 14 days have passed. I'm not sure it's realistic to think all foreigners will know what to do in the UK in the event of a problem. That doesn't excuse dumb decisions, but I can't see the harm in handing out a leaflet in English and Chinese.

Tight minge Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 China march on with dominance, homing in on 60k. Can they make 100k is anyone's guess, but if anyone can, they certainly can.The independents on the Sneezing princess continue to pull together and sneeze and cough their way to second. Their perservernce is lamentable as they see another cruise ship finally dock in Cambodia while they soldier on aboard.Singapore add another 8 points, with the little nation now cemeting third place as there own.As things look like the start of the end, the wording from both China and the WHO ring of mianzi for China as they readdress the original cock up and probably falsifying of figures at the outset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendan Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Hubei Province doing absolutely nothing to dispel the notion that their figures have been bollocks from the start. So far it's only really Wuhan that is revising its figures upwards, but I doubt the figures for Hubei outside Wuhan have been anywhere near accurate. In China outside of Hubei province the number of reported new cases continues to fall - less than 300 yesterday. The number of deaths outside of Hubei is only about 60 out of 12,000 odd cases (0.5%) and it's notable that in the more developed provinces the rate is much lower than in the more backward ones (i.e. 0 deaths in Zhejiang out of 1155 cases, 2 deaths out of 1261 in Guangdong, but 11 out of 1184 in Henan and 11 out of 418 in Heilongjiang).
