Red Cross warns that coronavirus cases are exploding in Asia
2021-05-12
Posted by:Skidmark

#6  From NN2N1’s Worldometer post, for India:

cases per million population: 17,004
deaths per million population: 185


This puts India in 110th place for cases/million and 111th for deaths — pretty impressive, actually. It’s just that there aren’t enough free hospital beds, free meds, and free burial/cremation services for the poor. No doubt this is also true for the rest of the Asian Third Word countries, the first of which I see, scrolling down the countries ordered by number of cases per million population, are Nepal, Mongolia, and Malaysia at numbers 115, 116, and 117, well below the First World and even the world average.

#4  Two different things Besoeker.
Destruction of Wuhan Institute (and, maybe, Chairman Xi's tragic coronavirus death) would indicate that Chinese grasped the folly of playing with wildfire.

The tragic Three Gorges Dam collapse and massive flooding would indicate that they didn't and Heavens are angry.

#3  /\ Should have taken place to correspond with the tragic Three Gorges Dam collapse and massive flooding.

* Poor QC, weakened 2.5 bag concrete mix, Halliburton Matrix event, etc, etc.
