Alas, I fear that, in some minds, it could prove rather inflammatory - despite the fact that said observation is perfectly reasonable if of questionable taste. So I'd rather not do it in this public space. If you are interested could you please send me your email address (I take it you have mine since I comment here). If you aren't [interested] I won't take it personally.:)<br /><br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-50083814195019569572020-03-04T07:56:31.064+00:002020-03-04T07:56:31.064+00:00Sensible?

This 'pa...Good reality check ... thankyou YP. <br /><br />This 'pandemic' has an element of 'panic' in it probably because there is no vaccine to prevent the spread. In our southern climate of the globe we are coming into our flu & cold season.. so practicing good hygiene is a mindful excercise that we are being reminded of on a daily basis.. not a bad thing at all.<br />I just know the vision I saw on TV last week, of people in a province of China (probably Wuhan but I didn't catch the intro to the report) having the front doors to their apartment building being welded shut by the authorities, utterly terrifying! Those poor people being abandoned to die just shows the total lack of humanity from their government be local or higher up... but then as pointed out, they are a commodity that is being quickly and easily replaced.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494264576774267597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-13268399541379258432020-03-03T15:40:10.793+00:002020-03-03T15:40:10.793+00:00I am not a great lover of numbers normally but the...I am not a great lover of numbers normally but these figures certainly do put things in better perspective.

It's every human's inalienable right. PS please don't attack the messenger.<br /><br />The answer to your basic question is that those of us who have just are not willing to give up what we have to enable wealth to be spread around more. Those who have not want what we have hence the reason climate change will be so hard to stop and reverse. Those who are in power only want to stay in power. <br /><br />However if you think about the numbers who would have died of AIDS and malaria would have been much higher but for the billions pumped into their treatment/control.<br /><br />Lastly, obesity and smoking related diseases are, to a very large extent, the fault of those who eat too much/the 'wrong' things and those who smoke. Historically, of course, the tobacco companies were the people who caused the problem to a large extent but there is no one now who doesn't know that smoking is a killer.
