When this mess eventually ends, whenever that may be, but it will. What will be done with China? Obviously its unlikely that there will be any aggressive measures and nor should there be. But should other countries look to put political pressure on their Government (or some other means) to try and get their population into the 21st centuryin terms of food hygiene, diet (for want of another word) and the medieval way in which they consume the types of protein which has put the world in this position.
China are trying to put themselves forward as a modern, technologically advanced, and somewhat wealthy nation (not for the majority of the population to be fair, but those in decision making positions of influence are), yet Coronovirus is not the first ill to come from their nation. SARS is one, but other people probably know of others.
Will China care? Can they be influenced?Can global public pressure influence anything if everyone just refused to buy their products? Will people just forget about this?
You can argue this isnt Chinas issue, its a Global one, as some newspapers have started writing about today. But the direct link between the consumption of bats and Chinese food markets and the direct links to viral outbreaks were papered back in 2007. It was spooky that this was called out 12 years previously and came true. Are there others?

Well China could swat the uk away with one finger, so all Gove's ridiculous deflection and sabre rattling and Daily Mail nonsense can just be binned. Simply withdrawing all its students from UK Universities as they did with canada would mean financial collapse of many of those institutions. Many might be screwed simply by next year anyway.
What will the rest of the world do? Make noises, accept assurances and back to 'normal', which is probably what will also depressingly happen with everything else too. |  |

No doubt, but this is a global pandemic affecting every nation on Earth virtually. We cant accept another "lessons will be learned" soundbite like we all get for everything. As Lisa mentioned below, it was the same for swine flu and the US. Not entirely sure what adjustments were made Globally if im honest, or whether anything can ever be done.
God help us all if and when the Climatologists prove to be correct and the moment comes. We're all screwed. | |

What I think is crucial is an investigation into whether China covered up vital information in an effort to keep the scale of the issue secret, and additionally the role of the WHO in all this.
I’m continually amazed at people criticising our experts (or those of other countries) going against WHO, when I see little reason to trust the WHO. | | | |

Yep, i think thats the consensus, most likely view but never proven. Given the tools available to them at the time, its likely to be the only one we will get. | |

This. Stricter enforcement of those markets. If anyone can enforce it surely the Chinese regime can? |  |

Nothing wrong with China's traditional diet. It's only recently that heart disease and child obesity have rocketed because they're adopting a more Western diet. They'd be better off retaining their medieval way. Although that obviously doesn't mean there isn't an issue around hygiene in these 'wet' markets. |  | | |

Looking at it rationally, diseases are probably far more likely to originate from places like China or India because you’ve got the best part of a third of the entire worlds population crammed into incredibly densely populated areas. |  |

I'll be honest I thought that as a minimum China would close, or be forced to close, the wet markets where this and SARS originated. But they are open and operating as normal apparently. | | | |

The WHO have been going in to bat for China during the whole period. Deeply suspect at this point. |  |

Not necessarily. Maybe the Chinese have actually counted those who have actually died from the virus and not of those who have died who may also have had the virus.
It’s the figures in this country and places like Italy & Spain that people should question. | | | |
