Regardless of what you think of the coronavirus “pandemic,” the situation has certainly brought some issues into focus. Perhaps one of the most interesting issues that is still floating beneath the surface can be broadly categorised as China and its influence. The average person is starting to ask really important …

There is a lot of doom and gloom being pedalled by most mainstream media outlets about the effects of coronavirus and how long this pandemic may last. A coronavirus cure seems to be months, perhaps years away. The situation is quite serious with the disease seeming to be particularly deadly …
