Can someone give me a history lesson here?
1918/19 – Spanish Flu
50 – 100 Million Deaths2020 – Covid 19
66 Thousand Deaths so far (whilst infections look as if they are in plateau in at least in some territories)Ozy I understand that the number of deaths for the Spanish flu were compounded by famine in places like India which lowers the body’s immunological resistance. Also, given the reality of trench warfare in WW! you can imagine how this provide ideal conditions for the contagion to spread

Anybody know more about this?
“Dr. Vladimir Zelenko has now treated 699 coronavirus patients with 100% success using Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate, Zinc and Z-Pak ”
Patients saw the symptom of shortness of breath resolved within four to six hours after treatment. Dr. Zelenko said the whole treatment costs only $20 over a period of 5 days with 100% success.

This is not the end of capitalism, it might be the end of one of its forms, but it might adopt a different now and it will continue operating.
True. But I think the pandemic could bring about a certain contraction or hollowing out of capitalist relations of production. I sincerely doubt that we will ever get back to “business as normal” after this
Talking of which here is something that landed in my in tray this morning
The main economic impact is going to be in developing countries. If people in the developed capitalist countries think they’ve knocked for six economically speaking imagine what it must like working in the informal or black economy in some vast megalopolis somewhere. I am struggling to envisage what is going to happen in the next few years even if capitalism does not implode (which is unlikely)
I can see disaster looming ahead for India and at so many different levels. It could well overtake the US as the new epicentre of the virus in a few weeks time

The experts were called in some time ago, reminded a month ago.
Hi Matt,
Any chance they could reminded again as the state of the forum is not good, its just not running well and some of the longer threads are very slow to open. I think we need to get the forum in tip top form because with lockdown its likely that we are going to see an increase in participation rates…
What about the refugee camps and the vast crowded slums in places like Africa , Bangladesh and the Middle East (Syria, Yemen etc )? After America , these countries could soon become the new epicentre of the virus. War is an important factor in spreading the virus through the creation millions of refugees fleeing to overcrowded camps and as in Libya, the warmongering death cultists are cynically taking advantage of the situation when the eyes of the world are focussed on the virus, to pursue their disgusting objectives
“We’ve seen how countries with advanced health and disaster management systems, across Europe and in the US, have struggled with the coronavirus,” Miliband told FRANCE 24. “Imagine what it’s going to be like where there is no proper health system, where there is no public health system – those are the places where the International Rescue Committee works.” https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20200331-interview-coronavirus-could-run-rampant-in-poor-countries-irc-chief-david-miliband-warns
