      All the evidence points towards it being propaganda - mainly from Trump.

      Just using logic on some of the arguments it would be unlikely that they were aiming at causing so much trouble for the rest of the world. After all, we are their market and their economy would go down the pan if we weren't able to buy from them all the rubbish that we do.

        Well, lets hope they see it that way and stop spreading disease all over the world, this is their third and best attempt yet.

          So, it seems that many countries, including mine and India, are strengthening laws regarding foreign takeovers of companies. Namely blocking Chinese moves to get bargains during the pandemic.

          That says something is terribly rotten would one not think?

              I do not think they purposely created this disease but I do see evidence of cover up, and now, attempts to take advantage of the situation seem to be surfacing.

              Sad. Terribly sad and frightening.

                Well this virus has really hit home, hard and fast.

                So much is new and everyone is learning as they go. Mistakes get made, blame is passed around like a hot potato.

                I have always advocated that the emergency services should be among the highest paid jobs in the country. For years now governments of all colours have used these workers like pawns. Giving in one hand and snatching back with the other.

                We have seen where lives have been lost due to reductions and closures of Fire stations. Police have been snatched from our streets, then a terrorist incident and. The government promises to recruit more police. Nurses really have been treat bad for far too long. Many having to act as doctors and ambulance staff now also expected to be of Doctor class.

                During this pandemic, the NHS staff have been praised, along with public demonstrations such as hand-clapping. This in my opion should be here for good. However I tend to believe that if and when this pandemic is over and the nation gets back to normal????. The emergency staff will once again be close to the bottom of the pay scale.

                A word in respect of Capt. Ted. Sir. I take my hat of to you and salute you. History will show that you along with so many, did your bit for King/Queen and country. You Sir. Never wasted time debating about how to help the NHS. You got up and with your trusty steed you acted. May I say thank you.

                Now perhaps the royals can make a move and forget the dates and protocol and give Capt Ted a Knighthood. NOW.

                  If you have faith in a miraculous, guaranteed vaccine against the virus being developed, then why? There isn't a defense for the common cold after all these millenia. So what on earth are we thinking.?

                  Let's face it, just like cancer, in many cases you don't know who is going to get it, or likely to be killed other than "most likely" the weak. How do people land up with lung cancer without ever having a cigarette? And on..

                  Nations have to stop working on the, "fastest past the post" and start working together. A good start would be scrapping the WHO and setting up a world lab. Ban those that contributed to pandemics or tried to cover up their culpability and keep the true medical warrior nations, UK etc as part of the control.

                  This goes all the way back to the origin of Aids. There is no real cure. Just life extension. And how many more horrors have been foisted on us?

                  Hope I don't twist my ankle getting off my soap box.....:redface:

                    Just on a point of fact. The royals do not award honours.

                    There are nine selection committees (for different subjects of awards) and the chairs of these committees plus the the Permanent Secretary of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Chief of Defence Staff and another Permanent Secretary make up the main selection committee, which is then chaired by the head of the civil service.

                    After a lot of faffing around their nominees are then, eventually, set for investiture and a royal does the presentation.

                    I think it is over 200 years since the King/Queen decided on who will get the honours.
