Australia is low in the pecking order

Scomo does as he's told and is surrounded by knives impatient to stab

There are more,by a magnitude of a million, posts and comments about the virus than the combined deaths said to be caused by the virus

In today's news, it's reported that a large US medical facility dedicated to alleged virus sufferers … has closed

The media's ramping it all up and profiting from it as are hawkers of hand wash and masks

Nothing to fear other than fear itself is the saying

but bottom line, we're all going to die in any case.  Just a matter of when and how.  And there are worse ways to die

Someone put a little chart online which showed that these 'killer viruses/alleged pandemics' have occurred every two years

can't find it, but the list contained all the catchy names: SARS, bird flu, Ebola, Zika, etc., and apart from a four year gap between the first and second, all the others in the list were shown to roll along regularly every two years.   And corona appears to be merely the latest fear and panic scheme

you'll notice the media keeps showing photos of supermarket shelves stripped bare.  Probably a stock image taken when some supermarket was shrinking the aisles before replacing the stock

Victorian Premier has urged the public to continue life as normal and to not bother panic buying

has anyone noticed their local supermarkets with shelves stripped bare?  I haven't

so to me, it indicates the whore media is, as usual, seeking to maximise its own profits simultaneous with trying to scare the public to death

and retail is almost certainly enjoying the uptick in hygiene products

In any case, the average person is struggling how to pay for the usual weekly groceries and doesn't have money to spare to stock up on 'emergency rations'

Keep calm and Carry on, Bob.  More to fear from road traffic and ICE-crazed muggers than from corona

Is that all?   I'd rather bet on government having fully-equipped bunkers to which to retreat if the corona-developers decided to up the ante

Anyway, it's not news about govt. stockpiles.  It was published in the media last week.  Millions of masks … 20 million from memory, plus assorted doses of very expensive vaccines which Rudd was forced to purchase at our expense by the usual suspects .. and which were never used.  But they could be useful for something, I guess is the thinking.  The UK disposed of theirs last year, from memory.  Guess there's only so much storage space

In the media last week, someone in govt. explained that stockpiles were kept for frontline workers and the military .. with tons left over for the rest of us, assuming the masks would be too large for kids. So there should be enough to go around

I mentioned in a post last week that there are online instructions, diagrams, etc. re how to make a mask at home using kitchen paper towels, a bit of wire, some masking tape and four rubber bands -- oh, and a hole puncher.  Makes a good mask and probably more effective than those flimsy things some people are wearing and which must be disposed of after an hour or so

In any case, we've most likely all been in contact with the virus, starting back last October.  Dry nose for no reason.  Bit of difficulty breathing requiring a higher than usual pillow in bed.  A couple of headaches and a bit of feeling woozy and detached, etc.  I've still got a lingering touch of it

I've wondered if we were dusted with it under cover of all the crap floating around, being sprayed, etc. during the bush fires

Right now, it's crunch time.  They can't keep ramping up the fear and panic indefinitely.  People become immune.  So it either dies off and the media moves on, or they'll up the ante

In the past, after other of these fear and panic extravaganzas, the media quietly announced that the 'death count' has been drastically revised downwards.  Instead of umpteen thousand deaths, they say, it's since been discovered the deaths were less than a hundred.  It's on the cards that this latest will go the same way

On the other hand, the deep state might decide to kill off millions of us.  But that still leaves billions alive.  So you probably have more chance of winning the lottery than succumbing to this latest niftily named 'pandemic'

China - source of the Black Death, Spanish Flue, SARS and now coronavirus.

Their idea of hygiene and what is edible is not anyone else's idea. But let's treat all cultures as equal, why not? It's wacist not to.

But it will kill you!
Oh that's very, very wacist. Virus knows no wace!
But I don't want a disease just because someone likes bat soup.
Diversity, mate, diversity!! embrace it! You don't just want boring old hygienic 'wacist white bead Western food practices!!!! SBS, mate, SBS!!! Cultural awareness!!

(and so on and so forth)

bobby they reckon a vaccine is 18 months away..

please be careful   no kissing or handshaking remember..

Don't worry - there will be none of that.

I remember how you were ridiculed early in the piece when you mentioned that Aids/HIV drugs were being used by Indians to combat corona

but you were right

The Indians copped it too.  And they were right also and now other countries are using the same drugs effectively apparently

Yes Bob, being a politician brings with it a lot of perks and special treatment at times of crisis is one

makes sense though.  Government has to have somewhere safe in which to oversee things, along with military heads, etc.  I don't begrudge them that particular perk

There's a lot we don't know.  We paid for it though

Years ago online, Aussies revealed oddities they'd come across during a normal day.  One guy said he and his adult son were driving to Canberra.  They pulled over to relieve themselves, separated by a dozen metres of scrub/bush.  The son called the father over.  While relieving himself, the son had noticed what appeared to be a trap door set into the side of a bank.  Together, the father and son got down to it.  The trap door was circular and propped half open.  They peered inside, intrigued.  One went back to the vehicle for a torch.  Further investigation revealed a ladder which was attached to a wall, leading down from the trap-door

They went down the ladder.  At the bottom was a railway line.  It wasn't standard gauge.  Everything seemed very clean and new.  They walked along the line when both realised they felt uneasy.  The father, writing online, said it then suddenly dawned on him that they might be being observed.  Or the trap door could slam shut, trapping them in.  Or any number of things.  They retraced their steps, climbed the ladder and away from there

Father and son discussed it as they continued their drive and came to the conclusion that very probably, workmen/maintenance had been around, explaining why the trap door had been open when the pair discovered it.  They doubted they'd have seen the trap door if it had been closed.  It had been a freak of light which had led to the son seeing it.  The door was partially obscured by the usual bushes/scrub.  Closed, it most likely wouldn't have been seen.  And how many members of the public would have reason to go down that bank at that particular spot in any case.  How many other places like this were they, they wondered

The father, writing online a few years afterwards said he hadn't been able to stop thinking about that pristine railway line in the immaculate and new looking tunnel. He'd gone looking for it more than once but couldn't find it as most roadside bush looks much the same.  He and his son had pored over maps, trying to work out where the line could have been coming from/heading to.  By their reckoning, it was heading towards Canberra.  Their searches for news reports of the railway line's construction and reason for existing had turned up nothing

It was an interesting thread, with others recounting oddities they'd come across, such as a plain red-brick box like structure out in a paddock and surrounded by wire fencing and locked gates out of one of those hamlets outside Canberra.  It's said some guys cased it and broke in and in no time, police nabbed them, indicating sophisticated surveillance.  But whilst in the building, they said one thing was for sure, it didn't conform with the notice on the fence which claimed it to be some sort of ordinary sub-station

We live on the surface.  We believe 'our' government is a bunch of wanchors in suits who hang around Parliament yakking and eating well.  The reality is far different and many different countries have their people here, some officially, some not.  We have Pine Gap but that's not the only overseas base .. it's just the one which takes people's attention from the others

We're part of a world network of power, flying in and out of private airports as business people, tourists, etc.  We go about our business and in our naivete believe 'our' Prime Minister occupies himself with petty squabbles, bush fires, items in the news, etc.  He does … that's his public face, the one voters focus on, but for all we know, there may exist a shadow government which dictates the direction we and our country take in all sorts of matters.  And they use secret railways and occupy subterranean offices and living quarters between flying in and out .. none of which we're privy to

ignorance is bliss

All over this country, subterranean explorers investigate structures, tunnels, caves, submarine bases sunk into the face of cliffs, etc.  Some of those explorers vanish or suffer 'accidents', are injured and grow old. They hand down maps to the trusted few.  Many govt. maps .. of what lies beneath Sydney for example … were stored away in WW2 and became lost forever.  It's astonishing what goes on.  Far different as how we'd imagine things to be.  But yeah, governments have secrets and perks
