Here is another CERTIFIED FACT. You already have this disease in Pakistan. Here is one more : incubation period of corona-virus is 14 days (
https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-coronaviruses). And last here is one more : You are ALLOWING Pakistan folks from Iran to enter back into Pakistan. So your pretense of stemming the COVID spread is just that an excuse.
I said this before : "Pakistan WILL get this disease in. How? I don't know."
Heck we don't even know ALL ways in which this disease spreads. Its spread is USA is still not fully understood.
What you are missing is this :
When there was NO coronavirus circulating in Pakistan, one could have excused with this line of thinking.
But now many folks have returned from Iran, it is inexcusable. YOU ALREADY HAVE THIS VIRUS SPREADING IN YOUR COMMUNITY. Also, its spread is understated worldwide. Many Many people with healthy immune system do not show ANY symptoms and yet have the virus in them and their immune system clears the disease. Not everyone who gets the virus develops the symptoms. And not everyone who gets the symptoms develops serious complication. Meaning, you ARE already having LOTS of people in Pakistan who are carrying this and possibly spreading this. So all your pretense for not bringing those students back NOW is downright dishonest.
China STILL has the highest number of cases.
Listen carefully.
You said "risk is highest in China". It is not any more. WHO disputes your assertion and instead tells us that Europe is the epicentre.
As for Iran's pilgrims, I have repeatedly explained the public health interpretations on these threads in that regard. The Iranian pilgrims are themselves at risk by being in Iran. Pakistani government knew some Pakistanis would get infected by letting them home. Every government knows bringing people home poses a risk. This is what you clowns don't understand when you chest thump that Indians have come home.
The second Indian fatality was infected by her son who returned via Italy and Switzerland - surprise, fkng suprise, he didn't show symptoms at the airport but did a day later. Didn't I say repeatedly that carriers may be silent even if they spent two weeks symptom-free before boarding their return flight to India? Didn't i just lecture you and your buddy that infection of vulnerable household contacts is the greatest risk? Lo and behold. Do twats like you and your little buddies here ever Listen to anyone with an iota of knowledge on the matter?
Pakistan certainly made mistakes with the Iranian pilgrims however they couldn't be safely left in Iran whose level of clownery is only slightly greater than India's Bollywood approach. Pakistan can play safe with the Wuhan group because the risk of them themselves dying is in Wuhan is much lower than the risk of pilgrims dying if left in Iran. Hence Pakistan accepted the risk of bringing them home.
You need to grow up and quit your agenda to prove Pakistan "wrong" or "immoral" for "leaving Pakistanis in Wuhan". Everyone here can see exactly what you're doing. Mercifully, the facts don't support your narrative. On the contrary, the facts prove the Bollywood approach has failed.
Says who our students were infected? Let the students come back and than we'll have a chat again on this issue.
It shows, how strong this mafia is in Pakistan.
Your agenda is even more bizarre than this Canadian guy's.
But then, I am not Pakistan national and I don't know what the sensibilities are here.
Nothing to do with sensibilities. Everything to do with public health.
"...India's health ministry says it was among the first countries in the world to prepare for an outbreak of the respiratory illness, and denied allegations that it was slow in testing suspected cases.
"Our surveillance system is strong and we are able to quickly identify any symptomatic patients," RR Gangakhedkar from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) told reporters on Thursday.
However, there are concerns about whether the country will be fully equipped to prevent and treat an outbreak.
It would be near impossible for India to force its citizens into mass quarantine and hospitalise people in numbers like China, says the BBC's Soutik Biswas.
Our correspondent says there are also concerns about the country's poor healthcare data. India has a shoddy record in even recording deaths and disease - only 77% of deaths are registered, and doctors are more likely to get the cause of death wrong than right, according to a study the Toronto-based Centre for Global Research. There is patchy data for flu-related deaths.
Rumours, myths and misconceptions spread through social mediacould also hamper an effective response to the infection."
Even the pro-Bhakt BBC has little faith in India's "shoddy" system.
