They really need to be sanctioned by all and sundry. But who will. The world is so dependent on china for all her consumables that if we sanction China....No one will work. Businesses will collapse. Many African countries will go bankrupt (China is our backbone)
How did we get to be so dependent on one country sef?

Yes, I agree with you that Africa can't do anything since almost every country in the continent is owing them. However, the West (America and Europe) as well as India, Australia etc can and should decisively deal with these communists. The only genuine friends China has is Russia, North Korea and maybe Syria but these countries are except maybe Russia are not influential in world trade. America can rally the Europeans to place trade embargo on China and its exports and finances. They don't have to do it in one fell swoop but gradually. Since cheap labour is the reason why most Western companies established in China in the name of capitalism, India and Africa has lots of cheap labour too.
The developed world should do everything necessary to bring China on its knees.
Such wicked nation does not deserve to be the number superpower.

Omo this is really sad! Why not just cremate them other than bury them like this
In another 300 years to come some archaeologists will discover this place and a lot of theories will arise from different angles!!

May God rest their souls!
We move

Nothing like that would happen.

Today, and even many years past, proper documentation and advancement in science and technology has helped archaeologists from even making assumptions, let alone inaccurate theories.

Viruses need a LIVING RESERVOIR. They can survive outside the reservoir for short periods
some viruses can infect the individual for life e.g HIV,Hepatitis B
Such a person may show no symptoms and then transmit to other
There are other viruses like the cold virus which cause a short illness though some may be without symptoms and still infectious,until the body fights it off and kills it off

In the case of coronavirus we are still learning about it but the common belief is the 2 week theory

I call that a theory because it is early days and that could still be disproved. Today I read that in Korea some people who tested negative have retested positive indicating that they were either reinfected or the virus was hiding somewhere and has been reactivated or there was a mistake with the test

Its gonna be hard I tell you.
Harder on American companies too.

They dont only crave for cheap labour but cheap technically educated labour too. India might offer that kinda of technical labour but I doubt if Africa can.

Secondly, the chinese labour have the spirit of collectivism. That worker ant mentality. They can work nine to twelve a day. Someone raised in a democratic setting like Nigeria or india or Americans does not believe in the worker ant mentality. A nigerian cant work nine to twelve without strong resentments. But up there in China, their communist upbringing ensures that and capitalists from the west are capitalising on it.

THE GRISLY HISTORY OF HART ISLAND: THE FINAL RESTING PLACE FOR OVER ONE MILLION BODIES


Hart Island, sometimes referred to as Hart's Island, has a grisly history and started being used as a cemetery during the civil war in 1868 and there are now more than a million bodies buried there.

Since then it has been used as a women's psychiatric institution, a tuberculosis sanatorium, a potter's field burial site and storage for Cold War anti-aircraft missiles.

After its first use as a cemetery in 1868, the island started to be used as a potter's field for unmarked graves and accounts from the time describe bodies piling up on the island after being transported from hospitals in the city.

By 1958, burials there exceeded 500,000 and it has been used to house the bodies of victims of the 1870 yellow fever epidemic and the 1919 Spanish Flu outbreak.

During the Spanish Flu, when more than 500,000 Americans died, thousands were buried at Hart Island as city burial sites were overwhelmed.


In more recent times, thousands of unclaimed AIDs victims have been buried on the island.

The first were buried in 1985 away from other graves, in the belief that AIDs could infect dead bodies.

In one 200-foot trench the remains of 8,904 babies were buried between 1988 and 1999

It returned to being used as a common grave in the 1980s and is still used to bury unknown or unclaimed people with bodies from across New York taken to the site twice a week and laid to rest by inmates at Rikers Island.

Due to a New York State law from the 1850s and last amended in 2007, a dead person's next of kin on have 48 hours after death to claim a body for burial.

If the body is unclaimed it becomes legally available as a medical cadavar to be used for training at medical schools or mortuary classes.

The island, which can only be accessed by ferryboat, was sold to the city in 1868 and became a final resting place for unclaimed bodies and those used by medical schools.
it's history makes it a perfect place for horror movies.

You are the one not getting your facts correctly sir. China added fuel to the fire already burning in Italy, that might explain why the situation has not really improved over there.

You are right. I think this is the reason Trump moved more to improve relationship with India. The population number is similar and also labour availability. I believe Trump saw ahead and he decided to diversify the cheap labour market that American companies always sought by also negotiating USMCA. This will give American companies a choice of India and Mexico to choose from in terms of labour and these two nations are a democracy unlike the communist China.

China has more to lose in the long run, hence the Chinese Virus.

So far what?

You think the world started in 1990?

There Was a pandemic in the 50's or so, that killed 500,000 Nigerians, imagine how many people died the world over. And you are calling Corona the worst.

Just say, the worst in your lifetime so far

That's why I personally say that it's easier to handle a hungry family than a sick family.

Gasping for air is never something one should wish for himself when concern for food would never even be considered when it happened but to make provision for air to keep you to live first.

Let maintain stay at home for now even as it's not easy.
