You were trying to bring up the past conversation up by responding to a past comment with a debate that we are well over with and the mods said to move on with. You read my covid bath post.
Thank you for your patience.
The wife showed me this earlier, nice one Samuel! :-bd
But this week an attempt by Ma to make a similar donation to Cuba – which has itself been sending doctors around the world to help with coronavirus medical efforts – was blocked by the US government, reports Xinhua, China’s official news agency.
According to Xinhua, the US haulier hired by Alibaba to carry face masks, test kits and ventilators to the Caribbean island pulled out at the last minute, citing backdoor sanctions against Cuba implemented last year by the Trump administration.
Title III of the Helms-Burton Act, enacted by the Trump government last May, gives US nationals and companies the right to sue foreign citizens and enterprises investing in properties nationalised by the Cuban government.

A consignment of masks heading from China to one of the worst-hit coronavirus areas of France was hijacked by American buyers as it was about to be dispatched, it was reported on Thursday, writes Kim Willsher.
The masks were on a plane on the tarmac at Shanghai airport ready to take off when US buyers turned up reportedly waving wads of cash and offered three times what the French were paying.
The plane later left for an unreported destination in the US.
Jean Rottner, an emergency hospital doctor at Mulhouse in eastern France, and president of the Grand Est regional council, confirmed reports that part of an order of masks heading for the region, where intensive care units are inundated with coronavirus patients, had been snatched by Americans.
“On the tarmac, they arrive, get the cash out and pay three or four times more for the orders than we have, so we really have to fight,” Rottner told RTL radio.
Rottner said they had still managed to receive 2m masks earlier this week. “It’s complicated. We’re having to work round the clock to make sure these masks get here,” he said.
As well as orders from the French government, several French regions have ordered a total of 1bn masks, one-quarter of them from China.
Rénaud Muselier, the head of the south-eastern Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, said he had also experienced problems securing masks. Muselier said he had opted for them to be transported by sea, which he said was slower but more certain. “At least that way, I can be sure nobody will steal my masks from the tarmac,” he told BFMTV.
two examples of bloody unbelievable and showing some egotistical attitude of the worst variety. Would be nice to waiver some stuff under these horrific circumstances in the name of humanitarian aid.
Hijacked in this case is referring to simply selling to a different buyer for a higher price. Which is, of course, business as usual. Even if completely immoral in these tragic times.
Over 200k people have recovered let's not forget.
It's just a rumour, too soon to say that.
Thank you!
Someone was shot down on here a few days ago for saying it doesn't help that people keep posting bleak death stats. I'm afraid I did sympathise with him. For many of the people that died the virus was a Moore YOLT leg-kick. In other words, they were teetering on the edge anyway.
Just posting up death statistics every day doesn't really give a true picture of what's actually going on.
I'm not saying you shouldn't post the stats, and I'm not saying lock-down isn't necessary.
Death stats are just as important though, and should continue to be posted also.
I thank the members here for their continued efforts with posting stats each day. Thanks guys.
The threat is real. We need to all act in a sensible manner to overcome this.
This is exactly it, @Benny! We can remain positive about defeating the threat whilst also acknowledging the damage that threat is doing. Common sense, really!
I have been acting in a sensible manner in regards to this virus. I'm just not going to fall into a rabbit hole when it comes to following the news. We can't physically do anything to dispel / destroy the virus (apart from physical distancing) so keeping up with the news only helps things to a certain extent. I'm not ignoring the situation by any means but you need to focus your mind on other, healthier things as well. That's what I'm doing.
