    Not simply a case of installing the fire extinguishers they should be checked yearly to see that they actually work........:whistling:

    You mean something like a hotel inspector who actually checks all aspects of safety like fire exits, fire fighting equipment, evacuation procedures and possibly training of responsible people to fight small fires - I wish....

    Only if they bring in live pigs! (It's a virus affecting live pigs not the slaughtered meat.)

    With respect please see below information taken from ASF website.

     

    Prevention and control

    Currently there is no approved vaccine for ASF.

    Prevention in countries free of the disease depends on implementation of appropriate import policies and biosecurity measures, ensuring that neither infected live pigs nor pork products are introduced into areas free of ASF. This includes ensuring proper disposal of waste food from aircraft, ships or vehicles coming from affected countries and policing illegal imports of live pigs and pork products from affected countries.

  3. Developed countries in Asia, such as South Korea, spend as much as 5 per cent of GDP on research and development of new technology and workforce capability. In comparison, he said, Thailand spends just 1 per cent.

    He pointed out that more investment in R&D is required,

    Otherwise, he warned, a large portion of the workforce may soon become redundant. 

     

    Maybe we have seen evidence of this within the police force as many have been moved to inactive posts......

    Oooops! Well, I am as guilty as most of the other posters yesterday, so my apologies to the Chinese. Autism is something many of us have never had to confront, and very taxing on the family.

    I would like to know how the story got out saying the boy was a foreign tourist? Someone definitely stirring the bucket there.

    Or it really is fake news to save face........
