Sorry, she lost me with "I'm a Christian at heart so I want to believe that nobody wants wants to kill people."

Irrational rationale.

Accountable
No one will be held accountable
No country will be held accountable
because it wont happen
there will be accusations
there will be blame
there will be ranting
but there will not be accounability

[Drunk Monkey]

Yes we can all smell a rat and there will be a plethora of these blame vids for many months n years to come and as noosard comments no person or nation will be made accountable ...simply wont ever be proven or happen...

I wouldnt want that bint as my missus ..fook does she wear the trousers for sure or what ??

Great video, the lady explains it all very well.

She made one great point, it does not matter if it was a virus that escaped a lab or not, she rightly points out that the USA sat on it's hands for weeks while many in government and the bureaucracy knew what was going on. The NYT published a great article referenced on this site as to the failings.

So who is going to be held accountable for the spread of COVID 19. Answer, nobody, China through lax food regulations is no doubt the villain, but there is no mechanism to punish them for that, so they get of scott free.

Who is accountable in the Western world for poor management when the virus spread? Democracy, for all it's limitations will deliver that judgement, but there will be no penalty, maybe just a bit of shaming. Maybe just a bit of recognition for the good leaders, but nobody will ever be put on trial.

Theodore Roosevelt was pathetic in handling the Spanish Flu epidemic, but history barely mentions that failing. I'm not sure that The Orange one will have his reputation as intact as the 26th president did.

I wonder if the village is taking it seriously and spraying everyone's property and not just the dirty (filthy?) rich farang with the big new house just down the street? So far nobody has come asking about the token farang here but Mrs tam's on good terms with the puyai bahn and the orborter nurse so I guess I've being logged in a book somewhere.

After years of uninvited walk-ins, I finally got a door bell about 6 months ago... seems to do the job. Unfortunately, dogs get used to the friend and neigbour walk-ins that are part of moobahn life so getting these visitors to close the gate took a bit of time to get across but they're pretty good.

...........yes, They did spray all house on our little Soi. It’s about a kilometer long but only 8 properties.
They know me around here, I’m the only Falang within cooey but I wouldn’t know the village boss if I fell over him. I doubt that they think I’m dirty or filthy and probably mistaken that I am rich. I’m an old softey for their village collections including funerals and weddings. Don’t get many uninvited walkins though. Everyone knows my dogs. Gates are usually closed and if the missus is in the vege yard she invites the neighbours inside to pick some Thai veges and herbs. Dogs are not friendly to anyone not accompanied.
Gate is left open so the Aunty across the Soi can come visit the mum in law any time as she is not traveling to well. She still gets the beserko dog bark even after all these years. The delivery riders are afraid and won’t enter unless called to.
This spray guy will look twice now.
It’s a friendly type of Soi though.

So China has Re-Opened WUHAN .....WTF Did they expect ??

No new cases in Wuhan reported.

The central province of Hubei, where the virus emerged late last year, reported no new cases for a seventh successive day.

No Maybe NOT, But Thousands of People have left Wuhan for OTHER Parts of CHINA,Do You Think that NONE of them were carrying the BLOODY Thing Mr Pratt, You can be VERY Ignorant at times.....

[jackspratt]

Did you actually read the article you quoted, jumbo?

Virtually all the new cases were "imported" ie from outside of China.

While on the subject of ignorant ...........

Why did you watch a video about the common flu? It's not important,insignificant, fake news.

[mickojak]

I didnt watch it.
I couldn't be bothered to watch the ad.

I was going to watch it because i have an open mind and know that this is an ongoing and changeable scenario.

Not like some

Having worked on the intel and psyops side of the military for 26 years, it's frightening to me that some people who consider themselves patriotic Americans put their faith in the news eminating from Russia. Often, they will belittle reports coming from respected economic, medical, science professionals and instead rely on information that, with just a minute of google searching, can easily be debunked.

I wonder if RL Trader is the former Juan Kossoff as he used to rely on Russian sources to augment his political views.

Electricity is discounted for 3 months and there is the meter deposits being refunded, TOT has increased my internet speed for about a month, thai people (possibly everyone) can get 10GB Data free data on mobile phones.

So if you haven’t heard about those you haven’t been looking.

My water bill just arrived about 24% less than expected. Mrs N says it’s to do with a PWA discount.
I’m not convinced, I looked at the meter & Somchai had entered a 7 instead of a 9 on his little bill printer thingy

Probably because you put it in the "General Udon Thani Forum".
