China's poor controls on human animal contact, its initial failure to deal with the disease and lies need to be acknowledged publicised and China must be made to take action to stop it happening again.

Hey ttbn,
"And, there will be no room for twaddle on climate change."

I watched a recent video from James Corbett that outlines what we can expect here:

Hey Shadow Minister,
"China's poor controls on human animal contact"

You can argue on a basis of merit that they have poor standards.
But I'm not sure you can argue on a basis of merit that the virus originated in the market.
That's a narrative which is not consistent with the facts.
If you go back to the WHO's first response to Coronavirus in which 29 people were affected, 13 of those people could not be traced back to the market.
While many of the 29 did trace back to the market, not all of them did.
It's a media narrative to imply it came from the market, just as the corporate media always supports US wars and geopolitical interests.

Just out of curiosity, have any of you seen the Jimmy Dore Show, and what do you think of it?
He feels like someone from the left but his content seems more aligned with the right.

18,900 dead and counting. (5hrs ago)
19,784 now.

20,499 deaths now, that's 1600 reported deaths in the last 8hrs.
That's 8% of ALL reported deaths from COVID-19 in the last 8hrs.

Australia is 18th for number of infected with 2364 infected and 8 deaths.

Total global infected has jumped by about 75,000 or 20% in last 24hrs.
Total confirmed infected as of 26 March 2020, 4:19:33 AM is 454,398

There are three possible sources for the virus:

1. It started organically in the wet market due to China's 19th century practices;
2. It started in the Wuhan diseases research lab and just escaped due to slack security;
3. We know of other cases of workers at these labs selling experimental animals for food instead of killing and incinerating them. There's a chance that happened here as well.

What is not unclear is that China knew by mid-December (and likely early December) that there was human-to-human transmission but kept that secret until mid-January. WHO helped in that endeavour.
In that time over 5 million people left Wuhan, each one a potential viral bomb.

The Chinese Communist Party put its 'face' ahead of all other considerations and is now trying to hide that, helped by the usual useful idiots and the standard media.

China will pay dearly for this 'error'. They won't learn from it but they will pay.
