Cultures in areas seems to last for almost forever no matter what the surface political situation seems to be. China has had a "Mandarin" society forever. Britain has had a "Northern Euro" POV ever since the first invasion from the North killed off and made slaves of the original people. What we call the "Anglosaxon" culture has ruled Britain since Rome left. It's culminated here during the revolution. We have tried to change cultures in other countries and have failed. Our efforts in Arab areas since 911 are a classic failure. I see it as more proof of the triumph of ethnicity over indoctrination. When it hits the fan with us, individualism beats out collectivism. That's the reverse of most other cultures.

This morning at 9 am Pacific time US there where 7783 cases reported on the JH website. Six hours later at 3 pm Pacific time there are 8236 cases. An increase of 453 in six hours. No wonder WHO declared the outbreak a global emergency. Their choice to continue with tradition. Their funeral. IMO every time there is another "flu" outbreak coming out of China they should be completely isolated from the rest of the world. The communists won't try to upend all that because they want to avoid a nation-wide revolt. So, many more of them will die needlessly from the status quo. There will also be more diseases coming out of China.
