Some good news.

The first shipment among 100,000 new coronavirus testing kits were due to arrive in Australia on Tuesday night, alleviating a nationwide shortage that caused health authorities to issue strict guidelines on who was eligible for testing.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration fast-tracked onto the market the tests, which are able to turn around results in three hours and free up resources in the Australia's overloaded pathology laboratories. Unlike the existing tests, the kits arrive from the United States ready to go and do not have to be assembled in the laboratory.

Oh wow! But, I am going to be one of those that will present to hospital or wherever is suitable for testing, if I get the sniffles or a heavy cough. I won't be wasting resources for something that I think I got similar 3 years ago.

How do we know that a strong herd immunity hasn't
already built up in China by now?
It's possible that 90% of people who got the virus
didn't have any symptoms at all and their bodies
built up immunity and they were never tested.
In which case there are millions of people out there who
are not carriers and have 100% immunity to it.
If that's the case then the virus is stopped in its tracks
and hardly anyone needs to fear it anymore.

I don't get it.

Italy has recorded 475 new deaths from coronavirus, the highest one-day official toll of any nation since the first case was detected in China late last year.

Total deaths in Italy have reached 2,978, more than half of all the cases recorded outside China, while the number of infections stood at 35,713.

The previous record high of 368 deaths was also recorded in Italy, on Sunday. The nation of 60 million has now recorded 34.2 per cent of all the deaths officially attributed to COVID-19 across the world.

The coronavirus has now infected more than 200,000 people globally and killed more than 8,000.

perhaps they havent stopped the kissing you know how amorous they are?....

London/Moscow (CNN Business)Russian state media and pro-Kremlin outlets are waging a disinformation campaign about the coronavirus pandemic to sow "panic and fear" in the West, EU officials have warned in a report seen by CNN.

The European Union's External Action Service, which researches and combats disinformation online, said in an internal report that since January 22 it had recorded nearly 80 cases of disinformation about the Covid-19 outbreak linked to pro-Kremlin media.
"The overarching aim of Kremlin disinformation is to aggravate the public health crisis in Western countries, specifically by undermining public trust in national healthcare systems — thus preventing an effective response to the outbreak," according to the report.

Russia NO DEATHS..I find that a little hard to believe.. Roll Eyes

has anyone seen Putin lately????

This was always to be expected

it's a shame that the western world is now led by a bunch of pansies
Bedwetters and fear mongers

the longer this goes on the more it appears the death rate for people under the age of 60 is 0.1%
That's the same as the flu

The response should have been

Old people stay in your homes and watch days of our lives
Everyone else
Back to work you bunch of pussies

Instead we have strong young athletes like the AFL and the NRL saying they will shut down the game if one player gets a runny nose
It's a national disgrace

Hard to believe these are the same Anzacs that went over the top and World war 1 at Gallipoli and the Somme
China is back to work
Australia looks like it is going into a deep deep deep recession for 12 months

I beg our Chinese Neighbours to buy every bit of land and business which will be sold off at bargain basement prices thanks to our pussy politicians
The sooner we get some real men running the country
I e our Noble Chinese overlords the better

I don't do kisses!
I do "Hi, how are ya!" and show no move to kiss at all. If the other makes a move to, then I reluctantly will Roll Eyes

As fun, we do Hollywood air kisses with the gals on special outings

mwah mwah

.. or the New York air kiss - "DAHHHLING - what a beautiful dress - I saw one just like it in Vinnies as I walked past this morning on my way to check my security boxes at the banks! Or was it on last year's racks at Wal-Mart - in the window of course -I'm so forgetful!"

The corona virus is a new virus other than zoological the scientist do not know where it came from....while the Chinese people will eat anything that moves so do many other peoples.

It is fact that viruses can be in the soil for years, as any herd disease its the weakest that are most susceptible...humans have been driving wildlife to e point of extinction creating animals that are under weakened stress.....and we haven't seen the worst of virtues they lay dormant in the Tundra or other areas that will be released via global warming.

Science has told us that...denigrating the Chinese people because of the virus is burying heads in the sand.

You want to play down that fact .... & mention many other peoples...... in the main the others are in sth east asian countries. And Korea & Japan.

The markets where the live exotic animal butchering goes on are opened drained & to say unhygienic is putting it mildly.

And you can't fail to mention & sweep this into & under a broad "global warming/climate change " label.

Pressure on rare animal species & extinctions have been made locally & globally by the Chinese & sth east asians because of their propensity to eat everything that moves & 3/4 that doesn't .... & also collect it for traditional Chinese medicines.

Threatened species like the Asian Rhino, African Rhinos, Bengal & Siberian Tigers, Asian & African Pangolins, Sun Bears, Asiatic black bears, Saiga, etc etc

And thanks to the World Health Organisation recognising Traditional Chinese Medicine more animals species are under threat of extinction.

COVID19s arrival has also been facilitated by man but

it is not a soil born virus.

Yes but it might be true that the Chinese deliberately let the virus loose because of Trump's new trade agreement with China

That just a bunkem conspiracy theory Trump tweeted Bias...could be that the US released the virus via a trained bat's to fly into wet markets....the virus is zoological which means it is not man made.

As humans spread into the last frontier areas where new pathogens can exists and in a globalised world expect virus pandemics to increase.

There will another pandemic in the future yet the governments are not listening to the experts, especially the Trump administration that is in climate denial.

In every post you make Roll Eyes

.... COVID19 has nothing to do with your obsession that everything is down to your AGW/Climate Change belief.
