I'm sorry to have to say this to a poster I have a little time for but....seriously, you need to read things properly before posting.

Firstly, you did actually respond to my post on page one, where you had an opportunity to tackle anything egregious but instead you correctly spoke about hand washing.

However here you just mischaracterise what I actually wrote.....hopefully it's just a mistake.

I didn't talk about 'closing the borders', my post literally doesn't contain those words. I wrote about being 'in control of our borders' and of testing those from known areas....the successful approach to infectious diseases without cures is the same now as it was with the black death...quarantine.

I expressed my annoyance at globalism, not as a denial of it but over how it's dealt with.....this latest warning being just an example. I'm making the obvious point that our border controls should be far stronger and be invested in properly.

As for the Black Death.....this disease was all over Europe and while immigration was low so was its border control....which was literally non existent unless you invaded with an army.

You are an honest man and as such I'll always read what you have to say independent of its position.

I'm a complete layman of course but you do get the sense with this outbreak that we are being kept in the dark somewhat.

It certainly seems like the Chinese are taking it extremely seriously...exponentially more than you would do with any regular flu outbreak.....To be conspiratorial, it's almost as if they know something we don't......because the infection to death ratio is tiny....from what we hear.

...... & I've just read that the Israeli's may have an a vaccine in 3 weeks in any case.....

I wouldn’t be surprised Israel flame up with a vaccine, and handing it over to their enemies to protect themselves would be tough to accept they know they’d have to do.

I agree Jews are savvy and smart. I’ve met or known quite a few but they include a few who are incredibly stupid and can make money disappear like magic. They could’ve done the loot disappearing trick on ‘Now you see it’ for real.
