Are they doing this purposely so that they could earn by selling the required materials to prevent the spread of this disease? Look at how they benefitted from covid ?

For the first time a non white country possesses the biggest Navy in the world. For the first time the same non white country possesses the most advanced fighter plane ( sixth generation fighter ) in the world. For the first time the same non white country and also Russia have become the only two countries to posses the unstoppable fastest missile (hypersonic) that can obliterate any target within 2000 km radius in the world. The white world which has militarily dominated the non white world for the last 500 years is panicking. So , I would not be surprised if this current virus is white - man made and sent clandestinely into the country.

Size means nothing. Those so called non white countries had to steal ideas and designs from white countries by sending their students to study at white universities. Japan became technologically advanced by sucking up to Germany after WWII. They will always be second to the teachers. Why couldn't those non white countries produce an effective vaccine?? Because they are not intelligent enough. Lastly, don't forget that Sri Lanka was destroyed by Sri Lankans along with Chinese loans.

How come this is not a major news in western countries. Sri Lanka blow things out of proportion. Don't worry, if there's an outbreak, western countries will produce a vaccine while Sri Lanka's Epidemiology Unit can continue to yak.

Learn from past history. Ban all travel to and from China until we know what we are dealing with.

Air is highly polluted, but no news on the subject Sunday, 05 January 2025 09:35 AM

In recent months, toxic air (polluted air from India) has engulfed the entire country. If you check the air pollution index, it clearly shows that the country is entirely covered in smog which some people mistakenly believe as early morning mist. This condition increases the risk of developing asthma related issues specially in children and adults. Yet, we never hear anything from doctors about the prevailing condition. Why?
