I once was part of a team that studied a cholera epidemic north of Mumbai..same sort of scenario. However my Thai family still ate off the common plate and passed those plastic bags of coke around willy nilly. However they are learning.. (I once watched a Thai matron cut up somtam in what was,in reality,the family toilet) this was for tomb sweeping festival, the day AFTER i had just cleaned the bathroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most countries after this is over should seriously look at their essential needs as a country. These items need to be produced and stock piled domestically. When global supply chains break down or more to the point when the country producing the essential items needs it for istelf then its game over for the wanna be purchaser. The only way to punish China is to kick it in the nuts, financially. Sadly i cannot see this happening. No one believes what China says. Their economy is teetering on the edge of financial collapse and has been for some time. A swift kick right now would finish them financially and then the ordinary people inside China would do the rest and end the rule of the CCP. The West has made itself totally reliant on China. Hopefully this pandemic will cause them to rethink that strategy but I fear in a couple of years we'll just go back to the way things were due to our short-sighted politicians.

I'm not sure what the sign says in Thai but the pic look like a bat to me. (Sorry for the poor pic, hard to take when driving over 100 kph... ???? ) Yes, they do. Bat is eaten all over the world, one of the biggest consumers are Australians who consume about 180,000 bats a year. Also popular in parts of Indonesia, Thailand, South America, Italy and many other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Well, it is probably never a good idea to eat bats, much less a hundred other animals they consume in China. But, we are all assuming the line they fed us about this emanating from a lone guy eating a bat is true. I have doubted that from the beginning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
