    Well if it is anything like the stuff in the Philippines then 100,000 kits donated by the Chinese government are good, 50,000 kits donated by Jack Ma are good, 2000 supplied by a private donor are faulty. Of course people can refuse Chinese kits for political reasons and let a few thousand more die.

    We managed to get this because we are apparently great mates with China. A Perth based mining billionaire, Andrew Forrest, has used his clout and his extensive connections throughout China to secure the supplies for Australia. Also we sent to China what we had a few months ago thinknig we wouldn't need them, turns out that was a mistake but at least we've secured our mateship

    it isn't exactly 'mateship' when you get faulty goods in return

    I reckon, for the risks they are taking, they should have been given a 20 year visa, or even passport, for the continuing to work in NHS.

    But the National Health Commission in March issued guidelines recommending the use of "Tan Re Qing" –- an injection that contains bear bile powder, goat horn and three other medicinal herbs –- to treat critically ill coronavirus patients.It is one of six traditional Chinese medicine products included in the directive.

    I tried to read this article but my French isn't good enough.
    Who exactly did the Americans give their cash to on the airport tarmac?
    Surely not the seller (why would he be there?); so who took the cash?
