So mandatory quarantining will start in 10 days time when people returning from the 30 high risk Covid countries will have to stay in designated hotels. The question is what is happening to them up until then.....like now?

Of course true but that's not the point I am trying to make. If we need China to change then we need them to co-operate and want to change. Understanding how they think and knowing how best to handle them, and how not to handle them, is my point. It's no different to any other situation where negotiation and compromise are needed to get the desired result. If force is out of the question, and it certainly appears to be, then negotiation and diplomacy are our only weapons. Trade wars won't work in these circumstances. Only reasoning with mutual self-interest as the key element would seem to have a chance of success. Therefore reigning in the rhetoric is in our own ultimate interests. Why would China want to change? They have monopolised the world trading/ manufacturing markets, have invested heavily throughout the World and therefore basically can do what they like. Will they want to negotiate? Of course not, why would they unless economic pressures are applied but even then IMO it is too late.

On arrival or prior to arrival they have to complete the track and trace form ( they get issued with fine if they refuse), they then have to self-isolate, but of course, this is barely monitored.

And so the script that we thought was already written is now factual. A theory that the coronavirus leaked from a laboratory in the Chinese city of Wuhan has been discredited as "extremely unlikely" by an international team of investigators. Peter Ben Embarek, head of a World Health Organization-led mission to the city, said the idea that an incident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology was behind an outbreak would not be pursued further. "The laboratory incident hypothesis is extremely unlikely to explain the introduction of the virus into the human population," he said during a news conference. "Therefore is not in the hypotheses that we will suggest for future studies." The team has also announced that they had found evidence of the wider circulation of the coronavirus in December 2019 beyond a seafood market where it was reported to have begun.

Edited by The Dolphin (09 Feb 2021 11.44am) Well what a surprise! Isn’t one of the experts working in China? I would like to see where they claim it started. Disgraceful cover up. Funny how scientists fell ill in Wuhan with Covid like symptoms in late 2019. Edited by Spiderman (09 Feb 2021 11.51am)

Trump was right about both the Chinese and the WHO.
