Coronavirus

yeah ive read about it,
I donate monthly to an animal charity and they often send photos and newsletters on how bear bile is extracted,

its so cruel that sometimes I almost think "surely not!"

 

I don't think the "Number of Cases" is really relevant anymore, you are going to get it!
Due to the fact that a large percentage of infected people only get mild symptoms, they probably will never even get tested. With the way it is spreading, most of us will get it, and get better a few days later.
What is trying to be done is to slow it down so those that become serious, don't get it all at once and overload hospitals. That's what "flattening the curve" is all about.

 

Yes your right.

We are just trying to slow it down as our health system would not cope

Germany
60% to 70% of the German population will be infected by the coronavirus, Merkel says

 

The first positive news report I've seen in the last few weeks.

Promising new figures indicate coronavirus measures may be working

 

Another report on news.com.au the same afternoon. We better be careful this could become contagious.

Coronavirus appears to be acting differently in Australia

 

Everything cross that is good news. Maybe they just build them tough in this neck of the woods - and we're used to everything trying to kill us already

 

And yet , yet they are holding elections in Queensland as we speak and they are expecting a million people to be out on the street. Great that they completely shutdown the state.

I'm just hoping that after all this is done, people taking such decisions are held responsible.

 

Reckon we'll see some clusters in Qld forming in the next 2 weeks....

Such a stupid non action.

 

Distances are going to be enforced.

As long as people adhere to this, wash their hands, don’t touch their face and bring their own pencil it’s very low risk.

There’s probably more risk at the supermarket.

 

hope so

Wonder why the other option was not recommended, Mail vote mandatory

 

It just reinforces the point that the government doesnt give a toss about you or your health, it is only interested in votes in its ongoing popularity game.

 

Won't you get a fine for not voting ? I'm in a different state and can't get back to vote so that's my excuse

 

To be honest, that's exactly what I would be doing, if I was in the same situation. If it's good enough to vote, then it's damn good enough to see my child get married.

 

You sure?

Committng economic suicide to save a large portion of the population sure seems to me that they're thinking about more than just votes here.

Even the countries that don't have democracy are still shutting down in order to save people.

 

Dead people dont vote (well....they arnt supposed to) and their voting relatives would possibly have an opinion if they thought the governments actions or inactions led to that persons passing.

But you are right, they also care about squeezing as much tax from you as possible and then getting you to thank them if they then decide to give some of it back to you. They also use that tax to employ people in bloated departments to reduce the unemployment levels to delude you into thinking they are doing a great job and a myriad of other underhanded practices that they perform on a daily basis for the simple goal of reelection.

They dont care, never have, never will.

 

Can't tell if you are serious. It's abundantly clear that Dan Andrews and Gladys Berejiklian are leading our country's response because of the federal leadership vacuum.

Apologies if you were being sarcastic.
