China, Russia, and Cuba 'helping' in Italy.

Sneakily looking for a way to split the European Union.

Cuba always send doctors to every outbreak they led the effort in Ebola as well. China sent volunteers from a province Italy had helped in the past. Italy have been begging everyone for help.

The countries mentioned never stop jostling politically. Any opportunity...

Not long back from Morrisons. What a difference in a week. Its like a military operation. 
Security guard outside , lanes created outside and inside the shop . Only so many people getting in at a time. Social distancing messages coming over the tannoy. Aisles all marked with an ‘X ‘ every 2 metres and being told to adhere to the distance. They are not messing about. Was like an episode of Handmaids Tale. 

Only 2 people with masks on right enough. One of them came  up to me and handed me a cut of meat and said ‘ can you tell me what that has been reduced to i dont have my glasses with me ? ‘ 

Wtf. She has a mask on and wanders right up to me asking me to take the meat from her then give it back . I just told her I didn't have my glasses either, which was not a lie.

Why do you say 'helping'?

Don't you think sending medics, equipment, supplies etc is actually helping?

Do you not think Italy are genuinely grateful - and maybe we will be too if it comes to it?

Even if it's done for political motives, do you think we should refuse aid from those countries, if we are struggling, people are suffering?

I suppose it invites us to reflect on the motives of those giving aid (in any circumstances)... but as you said it doesn't mean it's not helping... depends on specific circumstrances I suppose

Does anyone really think that aid at government level is done for anything other than political motives?

So Scotty, is this all due to the 5G network and coronavirus is not a problem?

Thank you for your question.

It's definitely a problem.

That was never in doubt.

I don't have all the answers, but I'm continuing to monitor this from as many angles as possible.

I hope that you and yours are well.

Stay safe. 👍

India currently has 25 deaths with approx 900 cases reported. Surely this is going to rocket?

 

I would agree. With the lack of proper health care and the over population, cooked with how the standard of living, it will rocket as you say in no time.. Not good...
