I lived in China for 8 years and have seen the atrocious standards they have towards hygiene and cleanliness. Its not surprising that many of these diseases emanate and originate from there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst China is no different to many/most developing countries in terms of attitude to health, safety and hygiene, it does have about a fifth of the world's population and a significant amount of global business so it's a huge issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeochief Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Chances of getting COVID 19 in the Philippines is around .0333 percent, chances that you will die if you get it in the Philippines is around 3.44 percent. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html and https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/philippines-population The state of Mississippi has 2280 positive cases for the ages of 18 and below, none have died. For me I would not want to get a vaccine that is rushed. I think school kids will be required to get it if they attend public or private classes. Here in the United States I would not be surprised that when they do have a vaccine, that if you do not get it for your kids, they would consider it child neglect and no telling what would happen then. We have some crazy laws here in Mississippi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have some crazy laws here in Mississippi. The medium sized midwest city I live in is going to require that all children and staff wear masks at public schools this fall. Like that is going to work. But they also will allow families to keep their children home and "attend" the school over the internet. The greatest concern the schools have is to keep their enrolment and attendance up so they can keep the cash coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It warned about contact with rats or mice when wandering about in the wilderness... So today... all is okay. We only need to consider the Covid virus, the locust plague in Africa and the Middle East, the incipient other viruses developing and/or spreading in China, the onset of the annual flu season, violence around the world, stupidity in many world governments. Ah... I forgot about the African Swine Fever and Spongiform diseases too. Then there's always dengue and malaria to consider and the recent resurgence of Polio and TB?... Goodness... what an amazing world and time we live in... Okay... more Tanduay, please... And then L asks me why I really don't want to have chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, pigs, goats, sheep, cows or other farm animals near or at the new homestead when finished? Animal to human virus transfers are real... maybe not common here in Philippines, but I just don't want to take the chances...And I don't want to hear or smell them either... I might settle for a guard dog? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest you also get one or two cats to help control rats and mice. Spay or neutered of course. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
