Jamesc Hypersonic January 24, 2020 Share January 24, 2020 Hong Kong solved the Wuhan virus 6 months ago. We have 3 times more confirm cases than Hong Kong. If they didn't take measures 6 months ago they will have at least 10 times more than us and 10 times is very conservative. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I see the virus killing those in their 20s and 30s, I am going to go hide in the mountains next. https://time.com/5770924/wuhan-coronavirus-youngest-death/ A 36 year old man has succumbed to the virus.

Philipkee Twincharged January 24, 2020 Share January 24, 2020 23 minutes ago, Kyrios said: Would it have helped if we have closed our borders to PRCs earlier? More swift action? Since by nature human is selfish and wont self disclose their condition anyway...we have to be selfish ourselves..as a country Closing borders is not going to work and may be counter productive. Cos what if others pay us back the same coin? What about our economy? Let me explain some very simple scenarios. We ban flights from china. What if they landed at KL and took a bus to singapore? Or from beijing to tokyo to Singapore. Are you gonna close all the borders as well? And you cant say ban china tourists only because the one carrying the virus might be Singaporean, malaysian and so on..... Ferry terminal, tuas, causeway.... Because if u take a drastic step of closing one border and the case slips in from another, the fallout both medically and politically will be great. What if we close the border and suddenly malaysia closes the border with Singapore for the same reason? I believe we have a tourist from china who landed in Singapore and went to Malaysia and is now quarantined there? Dont forget we have a madhatter as PM there. Best is still screening and vigilance.

Jamesc Hypersonic January 24, 2020 Share January 24, 2020 Countries should not need to close their borders to China tourists. China people especially if they come from Wuhan need to take the responsibility and think for themselves do they really want to go on holiday now and potentially spread the virus to innocent people in other countries? If I was working in Wuhan I would not travel home and risk spreading the virus to the rest of my family. Do I really want to put my loved ones at risk? No I would not. I would just get my MIL to come and celebrate CNY with me in Wuhan. Let her try the delicious snake and bat which they eat alive. I cannot join her as I am a temporary vegetarian. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
