I suggest the globalisation wallahs set aside their ideology for long enough to rethink what they actually represent.
Imagine the consequences to a successfully globalised world with porous borders when the next new virus runs amok.
Is this year's Hajj (July-Aug) still a go?
As the final decision will be made by the Saudis, maybe those deciding on the Olympics will piggyback, otherwise one or the other will be a financial/religious/health/political disaster to the host nation.
A big jump to 41 countries, and looking how Korea has jumped from a few cases to over 1100 in less than a week lets you know what's gonna happen with the Haj, Middle Eastern/Indian/African markets, etc. This has become very big, very global within a couple of weeks - and it was always gonna happen with the characteristics of this virus. Just gotta hope the mortality rate is low.
The low rates in some countries like India are probably due to lack of detection rather than lack of the virus.
&, anybody who believes that China has had virtually no new cases in the last week is in cloud cockoo land; the Chinese have clearly decided to flat out lie in an attempt to save their economy.
Cycling should be banned!!!

Carnival in Rio de Janeiro 2020 is just finishing now ... I wonder if the virus got to that Event?
Can't see bodies piling up on street corners just yet, but as ever the two camps will go at it with the truth somewhere in the ever increasing middle.
Apparently, over 5,000,000 Chinese left Wuhan in the days before lockdown - I was reading that on a Korean newspaper; many Koreans wanted to ban all Chinese from entering Korea (before the outbreak here), but the government said it would be in breach of international law - wouldn't have been, I'd imagine, if the WHO had declared a pandemic...
I said about 30 pages ago that China should've been on lockdown/flights banned.
11 dead in Italy.
but...
Italy struggles with virus 'that doesn't respect borders' | Italy | Al JazeeraAll the people who have died in Italy were elderly patients or already had serious preconditions.
That would be around half the population, highly unlikely but the shit really hit the fan in the couple of days after CNY when many millions of people were on the move having gone back to their hometowns and villages to spend CNY with the extended family.The timing was unfortunate because many people were away from their homes and either had to rush back to jobs and small businesses or stay put.Many people who normally live in places other than Wuhan would be in Wuhan and visa versa.The few days after the 25th I noticed people here and there sitting with their bags beside the road looking , forlorn, would be the best way I could describe it.Travel plans having been disrupted I imagine.
