Let's try and avoid getting all patriotic in this instance and avoid turning up the heat :P

We're all in this together, countries around the world have handled it in different ways, with different challenges unique to those countries and there's plenty of criticism to go around as well as plenty of credit too :)

I literally countered with the fact that other countries literally made the vaccine - which is definitely an attempt to get it under control.

If you want to argue that literally making a vaccine isn't a step towards getting it under control, ok, .


working on a vaccine is the best thing anyone / country / organisation can do to try and help get this under control.

PCR-tests suck.



These test are:
- not registrated or have an registration number and can easily be sold on The Internet/Local Community
- test does not show who did the test

Take a pick, science sucks. :P


That is not an RT-PCR test, but just the antigen test.

It uses blood as the sample instead of mouth cavity and nasal swabs, and highly prone to false positives and false negatives.
Uhhh, ... I had to use it myself, at the moment used as 'quick-tests', provide nasal swabs for testing. LOL ... Btw, this was the test-result after having used it myself. ;)

I do understand about what you are saying but I am definitely very very low on giving out credits as knowledge about the virus is already 40+ years present. 40 Years present and yet not a good solid way how to battle a pandemic although banking/insurance companies already had prepared themselves with 'work-spots at home' more than a decade ago.
Preparations like Jagex with an 'online social meeting-place', companies like 'Netflix/Disney+ etc.etc.' all prepared for streaming movies & series and there are lots more examples how some parts of the world were 'well prepared'. However, the medical world/scientists not. O_o O_o
I am absolutely very low on credits as those same 'medical world/scientists' DO NOT help the world, same as the WHO does not, give advice to the worlds population how to live/eat/drink healthy to get passed this pandemic without a vaccine.

The only broadcast company who get my credits are the BBC as these were the only ones who made a program about health & how to live a healthy life improving your immune system to overcome diseases generally speaking. Credits too the BBC, well deserved. :)
Btw, I do not know how the program was called as I forgot to write it down. Sorry. :)

I wish it was an easy thing to have everyone eat healthily etc but clearly more needs to be done to promote that from many different angles, starting with food education and things like cost too.

But, everyone has the right to eat what they want and with fast food all around us to tempt us into eating all of the tasty bad stuff, it's not as easy or straightforward :p

That could just as easily be made illegal & removed from sale.

Sky News tried to find the origins of coronavirus in China. They drove down there, only to be stopped by people and the Chinese authorities.

@Louiellen what's ur opinion on that?

Would have thought allowing freedom of the press would have been good for promoting transparency...

You can't healthy-eat your way out of catching potentially killer viruses if they are circulating in your area and avoiding junk food won't stop them killing you.

So let's stop pretending that eating Maccy D's is to blame eh?

Don't rush the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, WHO warns New Zealand

'With it being unclear whether or not any of the current vaccines prevent transmission of the virus, Harris says it’s vital clear information is kept on those being vaccinated':

@Averia Light - all my comments here are towards others saying there country isn't doing a good job at containing the virus. I have not come out of nowhere stating anything you have said. You need to read all posts and stop picking out bits and pieces to suit your purpose.

I have also quoted WHO in some instance to back my words.
