My initial post may have drawn attention to UK but it was meant as a warning to all people in the world.
China's population is expected to reach about 1.42 billion by 2020, according to the National Health and Family Planning Commission. As of the end of 2015, China had a population of about 1.37 billion.
A 0.05 billion increase in five years!
Also, China is said to be the worst country for contributing to global warming. More people - more contribution?
Is it coincidence or nature's intervention that this coronavirus began to affect humans in China?
