I presume that you have full access to world news over there in China? This COULD turn nasty and, from what I have seen, I would be considering leaving.
But you are actually there and I bet you have not noticed anything different to normal.

There does seem to be strong evidence of Muslims being "dealt with" and taking a hard line in Hong Kong.

Careful what you say in response!

Keep safe...

Yes map where are you?We need you on this board not some Chinese board with a duster.

Yes,come back Map,I'm missing our banter.

I am wondering is all those people that dismissed COVID -19 as "flu" have changed their opinion ?

Hard to know map, we don't get told much in the UK, only what the government wants to tell us. Take out the over-80s, those with underlying conditions, those in Care Homes and it doesn't seem to have killed that many, some stats I've seen show that if you're under 40 you're more likely to die in a road traffic accident than from Covid.

A lot of people die from flu in this country, there was an epidemic around 2015, reckoned to have seen off 25-30,000, hardly anyone knew about it, it wasn't big news. Is Covid much worse, I honestly don't know.

Well said sinkov, nobody really knows what the hell is going on because, as usual, they only tell you what they want you to know.
This doesn't just apply in this country though because it is happening worldwide with lots of different opinions, conspiracy theories, coercion and anything else which fits the bill.

You stay safe in China map, it's bloody awful over here. The towns with large Muslim communities are being targeted for the "treatment" now and lo and behold, none of the targeted areas are south of Watford.

Please believe me COVID-19 is much worse.

Please believe me COVID-19 is much worse.

I think anyone with a brain cell can see that Map.

Even Boris and Donald are fully signed up members of the wear a mask brigade, after initially trying to tell us that Covid was no big deal.

Boris caught the bug and nearly died, and Donald told us it was only a bit of a cold. He said that anyone who wore a mask was making a political statement about him. Now, with cases in the US sky high, he is telling us to wear one to be patriotic. He has actually called off one of his major rallies in Florida because of the high number of cases there. Another leader, Bolsonaro, told us that it was "the sniffles" and practiced zero social distancing or any other precaution. then he caught it. Just look at the shocking number of cases in Brazil now.

The number of Covid deniers is now limited to people who believe it is a worldwide plot to control the masses. Some people STILL want to go down the herd immunity route. This would mean that around 50 million Brits would have to get the bug, and hope that this would make them immune in future. If 50 million actually contracted Covid, then at least 500,000 would die, and there would be no way on earth the NHS could cope.

Good to hear from you map.
