In the race to the bottom France has just taken the lead : on top of the 1000's of deaths caused by Covid-19, lack of medical supplies and economic crisis we just had another terrorist attack.
A Sudanese refugee who couldn't continue living in a country of "disbelievers" stabbed 7 people in the street. 2 died.

Anybody heard anything about getting an infection twice?
A friend of mine was ill about a month ago. She recovered and went back to work. Then last week her husband got it and she also got sick again.............
The Health Secretary for the UK, Matt Hancock said on the BBC, last night, that the science on whether people were immune after recovering was "unclear"............
Anyone else have any personal experience or experience of someone you know of getting sick twice?

Under Fire For Coronavirus Response, Trump Officials Defend Disbanding Pandemic Team
"Anticipating the likely investigation into their handling of the coronavirus outbreak, current and former Trump Administration officials are starting to push back on widespread allegations that the Administration’s cuts to critical global health staffing and funding may have hampered its response. Much of that attention has focused on the 2018 disbanding of a National Security Council unit focused on pandemic preparedness, which critics say left a leadership vacuum in global health security at the White House.
“We worked very well with that office,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told Congress on March 11. “It would be nice if the office was still there.”

Since the infection and death rate in Western Europe and Uk is as bad as the United States none of the “ lack of preparedness “ was unique to the United States.May e the fact this was a new virus with no vaccine which is unprecedented in its contagiousness and China withholding necessary information about it was the reason for the pandemics deadly spread

Here in the U.K. there are a growing number of conspiracy theorists claiming the virus did not start in China but is in fact a man made disease being omitted from 5G telephone masts in order to kill off the older generation.

China told WHO i.e. the world on Dec 31, 2019 about the virus. Sure they held back information for 6 weeks or so, but everyone in the world, all world leaders, all health authorities, knew about the virus as from the very first day this year i.e. from Jan 1, 2020.
I think it is about time to stop blaming China, who took immediate action, after 6 weeks of trying to figure out what to do and what to say. Many western countries, who in fact do have well functioning leaders in politics and health, were told more than three - 3 - months ago, but many did little or nothing for more than two - 2- months, until mid to late March 2020.
Meanwhile, WHO have been saying for months and months since January: Test, test, test, keep a distance, still many places in the world do not test a lot, and people do still meet up in restaurants, they do still have schools open, business as usual. Blame the mess in the west on China? Pretty far fetched, in my opinion.

Not true.China did not give the gene sequence to the rest of the world until January 13 .The world knew there was a virus but not its contagiousness.China in December muzzled the brave Chinese doctors from telling the world what they knew.Moreover the defense of China is specious.They didn’t tell the world it could be transferred from person to person until the end of January.China then kicked out all western journalists who were investigating the origin of the Coronavirus s in Wuhan .Did it come from the food market? From the Wuhan Lab.OXFORD RESEARCH said in a study that hadChina govt not delayed in letting the world know all abou the virus,95 percent of the world would not have been infected
