I reckon China should pay the world reparations for basically fkucing the planet with their barbaric eating habits.

gordon,

i wouldnt be too concerned about the current virus.
it appears to only have a mortality rate of .6 %.

all these 'drastic measures" are probably only good as a dress rehearsal for a 'true ' pandemic.

if H5N1 was as infectious, it really would be neccessary to go bush.

Human cases of H5N1 avian influenza occur occasionally, but it is difficult to transmit the infection from person to person. When people do become infected, the mortality rate is about 60%.

but for this virus....its a bit of an over reaction.

i look at companies like qantas and note they might not make a profit for 12 months.
this happens regularly to us farmers.

a bad year would devalue my farm by maybe 5 %.

and yet some companies are down 50 %.

its a massive buying opportunity and they will bounce back within 12 months

Agree - but.

The virus is not the danger. It's a mild form of the flu. (Still, you can always trust the Chinese to inflict yet another plague on the world)

The unleashing of human stupidity is the thing for which there will never be a vaccine. We are seeing unpredictable irrationality on the rampage. You can't talk people down from that.

Mass immigration into the West meant that we now have huge populations with pre-enlightenment mindsets among us, driving the panic. Look at the press pictures of the panic buying - it's not a load of blondes but Asians, Arabs assorted other third worlders. The same across every western country.

China is still a "developing" country...so we'll be paying them.....again.

Nearly as many people have died from this virus as have died at the hands of the CULT of DEATH.

Why are we not doing the same with the CULT of DEATH?

Stopping it at our borders
And getting rid of it at every opportunity?

I know one will eventually burn out.

But the CULT of DEATH is only growing.

Simple Answer:- Stop the War!

You're never going to stop a war by increasing your attacks on innocent bystanders. 

(Now for the ad Nazium) governments rightly condemn national/social groups (such as IS etc) for attacking and killing innocent bystanders in their self-declared war on everyone else - we see the same thing, in microcosm, in the approach of governments in the West to 'prevention of violence' - they continue to imagine that constantly attacking, and constantly ramping up the attacks, and exercising that prerogative of assault based in the majority of cases on nothing substantial - on ONE side of the issues - will somehow force that selected 'oppressor' social group to conform to some impossible standard of not being violent when most are not being violent anyway.

This is attacking a mass of generally innocents in the hope of culling the real perpetrators - and it is a gross injustice, something in itself guaranteed to generate a response.  The harm to individuals and to society overall as a direct result of this government stupidity is impossible to calculate... and nearly thirty years of this insanity by government has succeeded only in escalating violence in all ways, not least by that government itself.

It's simply never going to happen - as I've said countless times - throwing fuel on the fire will not put it out - and deliberately throwing fuel on a fire to cause harm to some near it is a crime.  Tell me - two people are sitting around a fire - one gets upset over something - a cop/court comes in and throws a bucket of petrol (better still, drops a napalm canister aimed at destroying families) on the fire to satisfy their 'feelings'.  How does anyone expect that nobody near that fire will be harmed?  EVERYBODY near that fire will be harmed..... got it yet?

ADDS:-  Oh - and Chimey?  No component of Western belief involves killing as part of some religious affiliation, unlike I-Slam, which not only condones mass murder, but encourages it in its infantile, backward, xenophobic, paranoid manner.  The West doesn't kill Islamites because they are Islamites - if it did there'd be no Islamites - it kills Islamites because Islamites kill other people without reason and often in hideous ways.

Nothing 'cultish' about random deaths in personal relationships..... nothing at all - it's a crime, not a way of belief or of life.

Christ - and some of these people vote..... and drive .. and shop.... spare us all...

Why are the ones supportive of this idea the most racist posters on here?

Coincidence?

You're part of the big problem.
Is that racist, or are you white?
