If it involves Greenpeace, it is 97% lies. Anyone could write a paper to prove it.
Darwin's "Survival of the Fittest" has been challenged by modern health care and technology. Coronavirus is a Malthusian's dream but a nightmare for those most at risk.

"The good news — babies and children appear to be not at risk. The not-so-great news, people over 80 in China have up to a 15% fatality rate (usual caveats, based on unreliable communist statistics and will hopefully be lower for many reasons, see below.) Note that even with the “one child” policy effects in China, that most western nations have a higher proportion of older folk — especially France, Germany and Greece.
The news on “rates of severe cases” is mixed. Singapore, Japan and HK are looking at 15% early rates. But many other nations are looking at 0%. Hmm?"

The Green Blob are demanding travel bans and range restrictions for no reason other than a falsified consensus of Climate Scientists.

In Florida, an extended first report from Richardson comes from a new town powered by its own colossal solar farm: “Wow,” says the wearily cynical comedian when he sees it, before noting that this might be the first time in his life he’s said that word.
Wang, meanwhile, investigates Shanghai’s low-waste shopping, and the city’s fancy recycling bins, which recognise your face and then automatically pay you the digital equivalent of getting 5p for taking a bottle back to the shop. "
The Sun says:
"BORIS Johnson has personally invited Chinese President Xi to attend a climate summit in what would be a major diplomatic coup.
The PM encouraged the Chinese leader to come to COP26 in Glasgow later this year, and also offered his sympathies over the Coronavirus outbreak – weeks after he was scolded by his father, Stanley."

"Green MP Caroline Lucas is under investigation for a possible breach of parliamentary rules for offering a tour of the Commons in exchange for £150, as part of a fundraising drive.
The Code of Conduct for MPs states members must not offer tours of the House in raffles or auctions.
A complaint went to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards about the offer last year, the BBC understands."
