Regardless of what might be suggested, there are no simple answers

For something as complex as a pandemic, the answers are, similarly, complex and we won’t have answers until a full and detailed analysis, carried out by professionals, has been carried out, and then there are no guarantees.

There was a suggestion that it may be partly due to multi generational families in the Asian community, I'm not sure if that is true or not.

I think (and it’s just imo) there area number of issues that means that we are right up there with London
Unruly anti social scumbags....
Laziness
Obesity
Poverty
To me working around the country, here and London has the highest concentration of the above...each one adding its own bit to either spreading the virus or creating an”underlying health issue”

Could it just be down to the size of population in the Midlands.

May be Kev, I imagine the lockdown will last longer in the Midlands and London than elsewhere as a result.

Black pearl if your assumption is true,why is the northwest not really a hotspot?
After all Liverpool I think has the largest Chinese community in Europe?
I may be wrong on that but I might be right.
Your "Asian " means chinese or who?
I think your treading on shaky ground here mate.
Also,I havnt really heard any country calling China out because of this pandemic,which I think we should.
What a terrible situation the world is in at the moment.

Is there a reason that the Midlands has become a Covid 19 hotspot?

Possibly correct - however, half of Ireland must be infected if that is the case?

Can someone explain to me how the chinese think they have this cracked?, yes they contained it in Hubei province but now they have dropped the Hubei quarantine, what will stop China getting re-infected (from Hubei or from the outside?) or do they expect to get it again and re-introduce the lockdown at some place / point?

I'm genuinely confused by what they are doing.

I don't think it's shaky ground to explore why one community has a higher infection rate than another, I would imagine governments around the world are looking at the same issues.

Totally agree, that is why we must not use China as a barometer for Corona19.
We also need to have rethink on our 5G network going to Huawei?

Given that is alleged to have started there, and there was no precedent so they were learning as they went along, to keep the mortality rate to just over 3000 is either fantastic work by the chinese, or a complete fabrication of what has really happened. I tend to think the latter to be honest...….

As a country they will want to be first out of lockdown as they will not want to 'lose face' globally.

As a couple of American Beijing residents said to me a few weeks ago, 'whatever the Chinese say, add a few noughts onto it'...….

I had a holiday booked with Jet2. We were supposed to leave on 26/03/2020, but they cancelled on 16/03/2020. I received an email saying that I would get a FULL refund. It seems that they are trying to blame Covid19. This was before the goverments' recommendations came into force. They decided and not the government.
I have lost a holiday and am also out of pocket to the tune of nearly £2K
They have offered me £80.
Yes, I would rather be safe, but it seems to be a money grabbing exercise by them.

News today says they have a problem in a border area with Russia and are doing another lockdown.

South Korea never went in to lock down but did contact tracing straight away as they were prepared after SARS to do this. I think the idea is China will do the same now to contain the spread and keep every thing open. The germans are trying this to. China had to stop the initial out of control burst with a lock down. To do contract tracing properly about 40 million people in this country will need to install an app on their phone to be notified they have been near a confirmed case and self-quarantine. As people can't give up sunbathing I doubt it would work in this country.

The current 3 week lockdown is due to end on Monday / Tuesday next week, no way is that going to happen so my question is how long do people think the next lockdown will last for?

At least another 3 weeks in my opinion, they can't let up now. We've come through the unsettling part. People should now be getting accustomed to the restrictions, hopefully the next 3 weeks will be easier
