America has more than it's fair share of crazies. What with the people protesting opening shops that I posted on the previous page and yours. Also this first got posted yesterday.Gun nuts on the streets in Michigan demanding to go to the shops and have their hair done.
We will not ask to extend the transition. And, if the EU asks, we will say no. Extending the transition would simply prolong the negotiations, prolong business uncertainty, and delay the moment of control of our borders. It would also keep us bound by EU legislation at a point when we need legislative and economic flexibility to manage the UK response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Bats as food source have been around for (quite literally) millions of years. Quite sure that in hard times and famine, bats would have yielded a nourishing soup for the starved and the starving. Surely any harmful zoonotic co-relations would have been thoroughly identified, condemned and outlawed by now..
Wow that is shameless. And a total fantasy.Looks like No.10 is positioning to take advantage of the situation to allow the EU negotiation period to lapse. Which means we depart EU rules on WTO (No deal) terms.
Just like they always wanted.

Modern humans haven't though, nor has modern medicine. Even a couple of hundred years ago it wouldn't have been easy to identify someone eating a bat a few villages away as a source of a coronavirus epidemic. Nowadays we do know that bats are natural reservoirs for a host of nasty viruses.

from 14/04/2020 William Hague: China must cooperate over source of Covid-19 outbreak“The whole world wants the scientific truth about this. However that happens, we want that scientific consensus, including Chinese scientists, about where it arose and how it probably arose in terms of the ‘wet markets’ in Wuhan,” Hague said.
“There are alternative theories, but I have not seen a credible alternative theory that does not have it coming out of China somehow. The world is hungry for the truth – on that we are on all on the same page.”
China is concerned a second wave of infections could be brought in by foreign arrivals.
It has already shut its border to foreigners including those with visas or residence permits.
International flights have been reduced with both Chinese and foreign airlines only allowed to operate one international flight a week. Flights must not be more than 75% full.
from 07/04/2020 China records no new virus deaths for first time..
On Wednesday, Wuhan is set to allow people to leave the city for the first time since the lockdown began in January.
Officials say anyone who has a "green" code on a widely used smartphone health app will be allowed to leave the city.
from (audio) Why have the UK and Germany taken different approaches to Covid-19 testing? – podcastIn February, the UK and Germany were taking a similar approach to testing for coronavirus. But over the subsequent weeks, the two countries began to go in very different directions.
..
Last Friday the UK daily coronavirus death toll reached 980, surpassing the deadliest days of Spain and Italy. It is too soon to understand the reasons why, but one criticism of the UK’s response to the outbreak is the lack of testing, while Germany, which has a much lower death rate, has been hailed as an example for carrying out hundreds of thousands of tests every week.
from 16/04/2020 [Coronavirus] Half of refugees at German camp test Covid-19 positiveNearly half of the roughly 600 people at a refugee camp in Germany have tested positive for Covid-19, but are being forced to share facilities with everyone else.
..
District authorities at Ostalbkreis, where Ellwangen is located, announced they will eventually retest everyone "in order to determine which persons have become additionally infected."
The entire camp has been placed in lockdown since the start of April, with police guarding the entrance to make sure no one leaves or enters.

Maciej Boni of Penn State University and his colleagues recently used this method to see where the coronavirus, designated SARS-CoV-2, came from in the first place. While conspiracy theories might falsely claim the virus was concocted in a lab, the virus’s genome makes clear that it arose in bats.
There are many kinds of coronaviruses, which infect both humans and animals. Dr. Boni and his colleagues found that the genome of the new virus contains a number of mutations in common with strains of coronaviruses that infect bats.

- Wuhan, where the virus emerged, revises its death toll up by 1,290 to 3,869 - an increase of 50%
- Chinese foreign ministry says statistics have been reviewed and denies any cover-up
- Meanwhile, Chinese economy shrinks for first time in decades due to virus impact
Authorities in Wuhan, the Chinese city at the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak, have revised up the number of people killed by 1,290, a rise of 50 per cent.

China’s move is likely to fuel speculation about the accuracy of its data, which has been questioned by President Donald Trump. American intelligence officials have concluded that China concealed the extent of its outbreak and under-reported the number of cases and deaths.
from 17/04/2020 China adds nearly 1,300 coronavirus deaths to official Wuhan toll, blaming reporting delays..
