Wuhan at New Year's Eve

[AKissAndASmile]

Has anyone seen the pictures of NYE celebration s in Wuhan?

I've screenshot because the only places that seem to be running this story are The Sun and the Daily Mail

OMG, how have we managed to get it so wrong while the place this virus originated from is back to normal?

1. Personally, I think words like "racist" are best reserved for organizations which prevent ethnic minorities from practising their harmless cultures and religion, crush their languages and customs, herd them into camps, force them to engage in unpaid labor (otherwise known as "slavery"), rape them, sterilize them, subject them to forced abortion, separate them from their children and (if reports are to be believed) in some cases even steal their hair and internal organs. I can think of one organization that is currently doing just that, and it's certainly not a bunch of Mumsnet posters.

1. If we want to start taking a stand against the Chinese Communist Party, one small thing we can start doing is start supporting the movement for boycotting the Winter 2022 Olympics which are to be held in Beijing. #NoRightsNoGames

Words like ‘racist’ are also used to shut down important conversations like this. The CCP is well aware of the power of screaming ‘racism’ in the Western press.

“No wonder your at each other's throats your small minded!
Enjoy your lockdown😂”

No wonder you’re so nasty, you’re clearly a bit thick with your misuse of ‘your’ instead of ‘you’re’

@MangoFeverDream

They may have had a ' proper' lockdown but they still started this and they should be saying sorry not out partying when we can't do or go anywhere at all snd our children can't even go to school

Also restricting travel from Wuhan to other Chinese cities whilst letting international flights from Wuhan go all over the globe 🙄

We will never, ever know the true numbers from China.

But East Asia generally has low mortality rates, could be any number of reasons why, including anything from preexisting immunity to COVID to something simple like low obesity rates.

We won’t know for quite some time.

Across Asia including India if you die of Covid and another illness or condition (including old age) that other condition is put down. That could explain the ‘low mortality’ rates. Over the last few months DH has lost every single relative over 75 in India (approx 10 people) of Covid (we know as they were being treated) and none of them have Covid in their death certificates.
