Hopefully China will be truthful at least now. All this time they have been hiding the information and punishing the doctors who warned about this epidemic.

Communist country, one party dictatorship, claiming to have stopped the virus? Without China the world would have not got infected. There’s no transparency in a communist country, most get killed.

OK Doctor put into practice what you learnt. Army cannot handle this situation as out President thinks. Only Medical professionals can suggest ways and means to be implemented by the government. So many returnees from Italy slipped the Army security at BIA causing issues for the government
