    Someone must have breathed it out onto the packaging at some point, hardly a surprise, in the rest of the world outside certain parts of South East Asia this virus is very, very common and widespread.

     

     

    Rest of the world?

    That means it came from China.

     

     

    Yes, from China. If it came from abroad they would have mentioned it.

     

    So China is not as Covid free as they want us to believe...

    A bit of offtopic:

    - websites could detect your location using about ten different ways, the easiest one is current timezone. No much point to use an Australian IP address if your browser tells "Asia/Bangkok" to the website ????

     

    Till now VPN's/ different IP's were always a solution for geo restricted content. Other IP's always worked. Changing timezones never had any influence.

    Ha ha, your idea that the UK is the weakest party doesn't quite ring true now.

     

     

    <a lot of populist talk deleted>

     

    Please look at the FACTS...

     

    Look of the % of UK exports going to the EU ->  43%

    Look at the % of EU exports going to the UK -> 6.2%

     

    A complete blockade of trade will be a complete shutdown of the UK economy. 6.2% you can survive, 43% not.

     

    The UK has no cards. They must be even happy that the EU is willing to waste their time talking to them.

     

    The latest rumors I heard about a no-deal Brexit are also bad for the UK. The EU is looking at financial services now performed in London. They want to refuse companies in the financial services from the UK (banks) to do business in the EU, a condition for doing business in the EU will be that they must have their headquarters in the EU. This is probably the end of London as a financial hub.

     

    What will be left of the UK?

  4. Do you trust the WHO ? 
    Do you trust Dr. Nabarro?

     

    Thousands of experts, and they all say something different.

     

    The arguments he uses are also not applicable for most countries.
    Tourism in the Caribbean?  I couldn't care less.
    Poverty levels? Child malnutrition?  I see nothing of that in my home country.

     

    What I miss in the whole Covid discussion is that our fundamentals are wrong. 7.7 billion people on our earth, that's 6 billion too many.

     

    This year there is Covid, next year there will be something different. We're not getting rid of this. Spreading diseases through overpopulation, our wanderlust. Our overpopulation is destroying the earth. And now we're destroying ourselves too.

     

    Covid is just the beginning ???? ????

    Like said before, it has NOTHING to do with the Thai government but with Firefox.

     

    There are 2 screenshots. One is a Firefox warning. But the second screenshot shows that Thailand blocked this page.

     

    Can it be that a provider blocks a page, and another provider does not?

    Where does your home country rank?

     

    In the top. Well above the UK.

    Don't really see how any country in the top 20 could be considered 'weak'.

     

    You are right, not as a country. But what matters is the income of people. I would prefer to live in a country with a $1 million economy and being the only citizen, and not in a country with a $10 million economy that must be shared between hundreds of people.

    And if the UK is 'weak', how come it was expected to contribute 25% of the EU funding.

     

    That is Brexit nonsense.
