China hits a milestone. No new cases.

China hits milestone, records no new local coronavirus transmissions

"Spanish Flue" 1918?....I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, Multi millions of people killed world wide, but the world did survive.
The fact that the world did recover in a relatively short time, does, I suppose, well me anyway, give one some confidence that we can recover from these things.
I'm not much good on putting up links etc, maybe someone can do that.

Been done Pickles. In a couple of threads, 6 up from the bottom in Walrus. Not the best story to tell, it makes the coronavirus look like a non event. A truly terrible time in the World then , 50 to 100 million deaths. One account claims the flu epidemic wasn't completely over until 1957. I forget exactly what their reasoning for that was, but a sobering thought.

Here's to the old and bold, and ruthless and toothless. I dips me lid. I wonder if we can get Wally back for the origin ? QUEENSLANDER!!!

NO! We can't put the King at risk. Better to yank JT out of retirement, he's Wally's peer in passion, ability and being a role model, extraordinaire, whilst being younger and more robust. Both have well earned their retirement with honours. [biggrin]

Unlike I suspect most people on this site I've actually worked in China and whilst I'm not a fan of certain things I'm careful to not personalise it.

My word aren't we touchy? Read it again, it was complimentary.
