Trump blames China +++ UK mourns victims +++ First countries ease restrictions | Coronavirus Update

The British public will hold a minute's silence today to pay tribute to frontline workers who've died after contracting Covid 19. The government has announced it will make a 60,000 pound compensation payment to families of health workers and social care staff who die fighting the outbreak. After years of underfunding, and now a severe lack of personal protective equipment, the pandemic has laid bare the crisis within the UK's national health system.
US President Trump says China could have stopped the Covid 19 outbreak quickly - and prevented it from spreading across the world. He said the US was carrying out serious investigations - and suggested Washington could seek reparations for economic damage done by the virus. His briefing also focused on moves to reopen businessess and schools - an issue that's put the federal government at odds with state governors, and ended in mixed messages for the public.

As a matter of fact all govt in the world, concentrated on war prepration, and kept aside prepration for public health, as epidemics attacks are not new phenomenon for the world !
Present horrible situation in the world is due to criminal negligence of various govts in the world regarding public health issue.

Watching in Alberta Canada, Some Canadian Doctors have invented a new Mask that is reusable, they have offered the specs free to any country wanting it. Canada is Noe manufacturing these in Mass . I hope All Countries take advantage of this to help protect Front Line workers.

Trump: "China could stop everything quicker"
And he himself is not able to handle the situation in the US.
So Trump, are you admitting that CCP is better than you?

And best wishes to all medical workers all over the world and those governer who care your people

US arrogance has no limits. I am a US American and I am embarrassed by this.

After 9/11, our resources and preparations was focused on bother and airspace protection, no one anticipated the failure of the so-called advanced technology.
Our house was burgled from the window, when we kept vigil at the door.

did anyone ask for payback when 2008 subprime scandal Lehmann's brother went bankrupt and affected the whole world? When the U.S bombed Iraq and couldn't find any destructive weapon?

[neringavaranauskiene]

I can’t even believe what I’m hearing. People are calling and asking if they should take it seriously to what president has said. I always always said you can be book smart but if you don’t have common sense you can’t survive in this world. I wonder if the president said to jump off of the bridge if people would be calling to ask the same question. 😱 Wake up people. Think! Think!
