Safety....could I not have a lady one too?
Last one
That lady one Addressed to oldie.
It seems from what you say; Dominic Cummings has resolved the looking pension crisis caused by demographics. I bet he is happy.
Anyway....I am not over 60 and have no underlying health conditions so 'I am alright me, pull up the ladder' ha.
Oldskool.
I think you are spot on and it certainly has imo been overhyped to extreme by the media so people in the know can make a fortune playing the markets while we all lose. We are only told what they want us to know. Good luck.
Dreamingof, I was basing my theory on very little knowledge of the relationship between China and Iran. From your posts, I can see there is no need for it. Thank you for setting me straight.
The spread undoubtedly started earlier and is far more widespread bu5 chinas 400 billion investment in Iran is far broader than oil and gas and th3 meetings between officials similarly far broader. There is a lack appreciation in the west as to how vested China is in Iran, some say Iran will become a colony of China if all the aspects of the agreements are fulfilled. But if people want to conspiracies so be it.aalso there is nowher3 wher3 there is reference to senior military people catching it, just becaus3 you are a ministe4 doesn’t mak3 you a soldier

Kev pms!!!:)
Piers Morgan has found evidence the virus was caused by that megan Merkel woman fiddling around with frogs at said cottage.... Canada beware
K3. Conspiracy theory or not...your thoughts are very interesting. It is very odd the whole Iran and China hotspot. When did the infections really break out in Iran? Certainly before news was public. Dreamy, I get your point but as K3 points out the upper power house (military) do not tend to go around in groups looking at oil drilling and refinery. And as you observed the two communities do not mix. Something is off about this, the virus is not behaving like a typical virus. Manmade? High impact but not kill all effect, just debilitate and weaken your enemy. Perfect. Even better if it can spread like a ghost for up to 42 days. We shall never know, the cover up and lies just fuel the conspiracy theories. Warmer weather please, it may help.
Before everyone gets excited about Iran and conspiracies pls note the amoun5 of Chinese people that are actually in Iran is very high due to sinopec and CNpc being the only oil companies Have any substance there (they have big apartment blocks filled with Chinese, with their own cooks and even separate interne5 access. These workers are rotated un and out of Iran so there would have been quite a few who may hav3 been infected in China and brough5 it over, ignore Wikipedia as there far mor3 who rotate in and out. As for govt officials, they upinteract a lot with Chinese officials too, far more than other countries
I reckon the Chinese have been helping the Iranians with something. Nuclear? Bio-weapons? It is odd that the highest levels of government have been infected.
I watched Channel “Contagion” tonight. Their virtual virus experiment was number-crunched with a R0 of 1.8 and 2% mortality. About two thirds of the population were infected in the simulation, 886,877 deaths. That was with a “simple” corona virus. COVID19 hides and reinfects.
Some have called bottom today re the markets. I am not convinced, and boy do I wish they were right. Could we have a bit of a dead cat bounce early on next week? When this is all over I hope the CCP are brought to task either by their own people (ideally) or by the international big guns. Sadly, I think it will all come back to factory gates and trade so this episode will become unresolved history and buried along with the spurious 'official' data.
K3. I dont understand the data. Why is Iran a hotspot? Why way over 20% death rate? How has that really come out now? Is that them softening the blow because it is worse? Add in the 42 day incubation period and people on their death bad could have been infected since mid Jan. I know things are far worse in China than anyone is going to say, and let's be about right, we shall never know. In a nutshell, wtf is going on? We had an extra delivery of hand anti-bacteria today....i laughed, like that is going to do anything. A member of my team has been told again today that they cannot have a new laptop as there aren't any, no supplies. Apple have confirmed issues too. This virus is undoubtedly worse than the general population were told
but it is being used to bring the markets down and bury bad news. The final straw that broke the camels back, although it is more like a 900 year old English oak breaking the camels back. Safety, I agree. The boats will act as a mini scientific study, age ranges, gender and race. Of course I hope this settles and is media b/s and hype. I had hoped my source of info was exaggerating, they were not and that remains the case. This is a right old mess.
Those figures tie in with blogs and videos I have seen. China has not shut down entire cities previously. Some of the body bags taken to the crematorium were of those that had collapsed in the street, and there were reports that some were still moving. Also the bodies were double bagged, a precaution reserved for hazardous waste. Crematorium staff were on there knees with workload.
Scary stuff.
Oldie, I agree with you regarding the death rate. You don’t get half a dozen bodies per 100m of pavement, with a 2% mortality rate.
So BBC now have some 'official' death figures for Iran. Well, they are way over 20%. So let's assume China has lied (it has) then all of sudden my comment several weeks ago seem a little more accurate. I was told over 17%. In actual fact I am going to tell my secret source that they were wrong as the numbers appear to be a lot higher. I am also going to tell them to open their factories. Death rates outside of known dictatorships appear to be less so far, thank the sky fairies that Corbyn didnt get in. A double bonus ha ha.
