    Hi Guys,

    I am certain that as we are a world wide community here then some of our members have been directly affected by this terrible virus.

    Please talk about your concerns and if this virus has touched your lives directly or indirectly?

    Take care everyone.

    Yeah, I saw the news that it might last till end of 2020. :( So now, since I'm getting lesser projects, I might as well watch some workshops and improve myself. Are you also affected by the virus?

    China is to blame for this, their wet animal trade markets causes such virus to spread to humans. Their government really needs to shut it down, else such illnesses/viruses are inevitable. This is not the first, and won't be the last one until China does something about the issue.

    This virus is targeting the old population which many country struggle to take care of their healthcare, nursing and pension. Many questions come to mind...
    btw World Health Organization expects that 60% of the world population will be effected from the virus.
    Best way is to have a strong immune-system, try to stay away from stress and worry. Reduce smoking & drinking. Don't order food and avoid eating out. Prefer vegetables. Only breath from nose. Never mouthbreath. God bless.

    I do believe that any use of bat meat in our food chain needs to be banned globally.

    That but such diseases can come from another animals too, containing and killing animals in the same location must be strictly forbidden, china closed one eye to this issue as this particular market is catered for the rich population in china. They must be accountable for this, as the whole world is suffering due their poor supervision. Scientists in China has warned and predicted such outbreaks can occur as long as these animal markets exist.

    Yeah but its not just solely China ....there was Mad Cows Disease in the UK a few years back.....eating infected deer in North America/Canada/Norway and Korea can also cause Chronic Wasting Disease....Camels can also spread Prion disease.
