Update on Corona virus.

[khansaheeb]

All we can do at this time is stop flights from china and stop flights from pakistan to china immediately. This will help both china and pakistan. Because Pakistan has no lab or staff or doctors or hospitals of that caliber to handle such a bio hazard. Its better to stop flights

Conspiracy theory: Isn't this the goal why it was released into China? To weaken China economically?

 

[Clutch]

I say it's all BS and fear mongering.

Truth and facts are lost.

Everyone in panic mode.

 

[Fawadqasim1]

its a hard time for our chinese brothers and sisters instead of criticism we need to help them morally diplomatically and if possible financially they are trying their best to contain a monster which can bite us all so

 

[War Thunder]

It's not punishment but conspiracy of using biological weapon to attack China by some countries. BTW, all the smearing about China abuse of Uyghur.

We will see what is punishment and what is not and what China deserves for its handling of Uyghurs and what it doesn't.
If China is an oppressor we will see her downfall like all oppressors in history.

you are right dude..Dengue was also a punishment..that for people of Punjab specifically Lahore. choosing Shahbaz/Nawaz sharif as CM/PM...People are still dying of Dengue in Lahore while shobaz/nawaz escaped punishment and enjoying nihari in London..

 

[khail007]

We need to stop the flow of people from China until this is over. In fact we should stop the flow of people from any country where there have been such cases.

May ALLAH SWT protect all from this calamity.
Sir G, you raised an important/strategic question about containment of outbreak.
To prevent the outbreak, even our religion Islam has the guidelines and taught us about it:
Al-Bukhaari (5739) and Muslim (2219) narrated from ‘Abd ar-Rahmaan ibn ‘Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: “If you hear that it (the plague) is in a land, do not go there, and if it breaks out in a land where you are, do not leave, fleeing from it.”

 

[PakSword]

How long before it spreads all over?
At the times of old, our Muslim elders used to hold themselves responsible for whatever evil will befall them, and refer to it as a punishment from heavens.
People of Baghdad did not say Genghis Khan was spilling their blood because he was an evil, but because they had earned the punishment through their own disobedience to the Creator.

So China oppresses Uighurs and faces punishment, and who is standing next in line for being in bed with the oppressor?

That's just my perspective and I do not claim to know everything.

Allah knows better and may He protect all innocents of my country and in China and else where.

Yaar please Allah se dua karo, iss tarah ki posts na karo.

What China is doing to Uighurs is wrong, it doesn't mean we start saying that the outbreak is a punishment from Allah. What if it is also affecting Muslims of China, what will you say then?

 

[PakGuns]

no statement from govt or ministry of health to give guidelines i think matter is not taken seriously here...

this is a matter of national emergency

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has directed that an inter-ministerial meeting be held at the earliest to discuss preventing measures against deadly novel coronavirus (NCV) and formulate a comprehensive strategy to tackle the threat.

According to a notification issued by Prime Minister Office, the meeting would be chaired by Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Health Dr Zafar Mirza. It will be attended by the federal secretaries for foreign affairs, national health services, interior and aviation, provincial health secretaries, chairman of the National Disaster Management Authority, surgeon general of the Pakistan Army, director general of the Military Operations, director general (counter-intelligence) of the Inter-Services Intelligence, director general of the Provincial Disaster Management Authority, director general of the Civil Aviation Authority, director general of the National Institute of Health, director general of the Airport Security Force and director general for China in foreign affairs ministry.

The document states that outbreak of NCV is being experienced in China. Owing to the presence of a large number of Chinese in Pakistan and frequent travel between China and Pakistan, spread of virus in Pakistan cannot be ruled out if necessary precautionary measures are not put in place. It has been directed that the outcome of the meeting along with firm recommendations shall be furnished to the PM Office within one week.

Meanwhile, Chinese Ambassador Yao Jing, in a video statement, has said that Chinese and Pakistani governments are working closely and 500 Pakistani citizens in Wuhan city of Hubei province are safe and being looked after. Both the governments are coordinating with each other, he said.

“So far three suspicious cases in Chinese community have been reported in Pakistan, but none of them has been confirmed. We have confidence and determination that we will overcome this difficult time and will return to normal life very soon,” Mr Yao added.

According to Geo News, a group of Pakistani students has demanded that the government make efforts to rescue them from the coronavirus-hit Chinese city of Wuhan.

Hafsah Tayab, one of the students stuck in Wuhan, confirmed that other countries are planning to get their citizens out of the city through airplanes. “Embassies of other countries [excluding Pakistan] are rescuing their citizens. There are over 500 Pakistani students in Wuhan. If even one of them gets affected, the others will be in danger,” she warned in a video message.

“There is a shortage of essential items and if this situation persists, we will run out of food very soon,” Ms Tayab said, adding that she and her fellow students have been confined to the city.

Meanwhile, the Islamabad International Airport management has sought two more “virus detection scanners”. A senior official requesting anonymity told Dawn that the authorities concerned had been requested to provide two more virus detection scanners which would to be used if the existing one develops some technical fault.

A spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority said the CAA had been facilitating the health department staff and had also provided an ambulance for shifting any affected person to a hospital. However, no passenger with the deadly virus has so far been detected.

However, an eight-member health department team has been monitoring the passengers arriving from Beijing. All the passengers are passed through the virus detection scanners and also checked by thermal guns.

A Pakistan International Airlines flight (PK-853) arrived at Islamabad International Airport from Beijing on Sunday. The health department officials were present at the airport’s special counter to monitor the passengers.

SAPM Zafar Mirza was also present at the airport to monitor the whole process of scanning when a Thai Airways flight (TG 349) with 186 passengers arrived from Bangkok on Sunday.

In the wake of the deadly coronavirus spreading in Chinese city of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak, the government imposed a lockdown that left millions stuck in the city.

According to Tribune.com.pk, after the lockdown was implemented starting Thursday morning, some Pakistani students in Wuhan posted a video on Twitter appealing that they be evacuated at the earliest.

In the footage, a group of Pakistani students of the Wuhan University of Science and Technology are seen wearing surgical masks and pleading the government prompt action.

"We've been trapped on the campus for so many days. And now we're also running out of food supplies. We appeal to the Pakistani government to rescue us. Other countries are doing all they can to help their citizens stuck in the city," a girl student, who identifies herself as Hafsa Tayyab, says in the clip.

She further adds that Wuhan has been cut off from the rest of the country since the lockdown halted public transportation, including city buses, trains, and ferries. It is reported that are almost 200 Pakistani students in Wuhan alone.

The video went viral, prompting China's Ambassador to Pakistan, Yao Jing, posting a video message assuring all Pakistanis in China are "safe and in good health".

"There is close coordination between Pakistan's Embassy in Beijing and the Chinese government to facilitate the citizens in any way possible amid the viral outbreak," the Chinese ambassador said.

That is normal for fitnah and punishment to be on the masses including people who are good. Their matter is to be decided in the hereafter, but if they happen to be stuck in a land of oppressors then they will find the same fate as the oppressor.
Why do we want to escape and hide from the fact that whatever ill befalls us is because of our own doings? Is there a doubt in that?

BS, since this virus is so contagious. All it need is books ticket to China from west and plant it in the possible source of starting point and make it as it's from wildlife.

There are too many evil nation against China. Becos China rising is a threat to their domination of the rest of the world.

Nice CCP propaganda you live with.

you are right dude..Dengue was also a punishment..that for people of Punjab specifically Lahore. choosing Shahbaz/Nawaz sharif as CM/PM...People are still dying of Dengue in Lahore while shobaz/nawaz escaped punishment and enjoying nihari in London..

Can some wrong happen to you if its not from heavens?
Can you escape a wrong if not by the will of heavens?

Not a leaf falls but that He knows it. (Holy Quran 6 :59)

The mischievous are given time to earn more sins, for all they have is this world, and an ever lasting torment in the hereafter. Why do you need to worry about Shahbaz or Nawaz and what they eat and what not, and not your own deeds?

Keep them there. They're equally prone to coronavirus as others in Wuhan. Pakistan doesn't have the basic facilities to diagnose the virus. At least in Wuhan they will undergo proper screening and, if required, treatment. It's better we stop sensationalizing things.
