    There was a live interview tonight on ABC News with an ABC young man who went back to Wuhan to see his grand parents for CNY and obviously he’s struck in the city waiting to be rescued by the Australian government. According to him, a new hospital just opened yesterday . The supermarkets are still open but they will be checked for temperature before allowed inside. their family have stocked up enough food to last six months.

    Meat though they have to ration and keep them frozen . They can still drive around but not much cars on the road.

    He sounded pretty calm and not showing signs of panic or desperation. And he knew that if he could get on the Aussie rescue flight - they will be transferred to Xmas Island for assessment before allowed back to Sydney. But he was more concerned if he could keep his mobile phone and maintain contacts with the outside world .

    They were on video call or something .

    Very interesting!

To overcome the coronavirus focus on strengthening up your immune system: vitmain d3, zinc, fermented foods, raw garlic, eat lots of vegetables for nutrition. Just like any other flu, it will come and go like MichaelAngelo. The flu's effect becomes weaker the longer it's passed down the chain line.
    The virus was "discovered" in December, incubation period 14 days, let's say people get sick for a few more days before they die.... and they already know the mortality rate by mid January? I call BS!
    That mortality rate 1% is also out of date.... It's been "revised" to 4% now.
    Does a 4% mortality rate justify the desperate actions being taken?

    So far, all the infected people were Chinese nationals coming from Wuhan. There are No local HK or M people got infected yet. I believe same with the confirmed cases in Australia.

    The best way of prevention would be to stop or restrict people from Wuhan from entering the country until the situation is under control .

    The new virus, a sick combination of human and animal strains is a result of eating exotic wild animals.

    The spread of it is an equally sick combination of the virus and China's **** communist system.

    This piece is from Peter Hartcher from the Sydney Morning Herald:

    "The point of origin for the new virus is a wet market where a long menu of exotic species was on sale, the Wuhan Huanan Wholesale Seafood Market.

    Thanks to the English translations on the website whatsonweibo.com, we have a sampling of the views expressed by the Chinese people. One wrote: "The only outcome of eating wild game is disease! SARS came from civet cats and bats. Ebola came from chimpanzees, monkeys, wild boar, and bats. MERS came from camels. The avian flu came from wild birds and poultry. AIDS came from chimps. Is it really that delicious?"
    Another posted: "Let me say something malicious: Eating wild game is fine, just please remember to kill yourself immediately after." That'd be one way of containing the viruses that pass from animals to people.

    The Wuhan wet market was shut down earlier this month but photos of price lists for delicacies on sale at the market include porcupine, peacock, wolf, ostrich, camel, snakes, asses and civets.
    Mackenzie observes: "The problem in China is that if it has four feet, it's edible, and the rarer and more expensive it is, the more brownie points for eating one. It's a difficult social problem for China to solve."
    As serious as this may be, it's a problem easily fixed compared with the second and greater of the fatal flaws. Although the authorities have moved decisively in recent days, there were serious early delays and blunders.

    The authorities in Wuhan tried to cover up the outbreak. The first cases turned up on December 12 or earlier, weeks ahead of the official announcement at the month's end.
    Yet hospitals were told to report "zero infections" among staff, according to multiple sources. Sick people were turned away from hospitals untreated, including one woman who went home and died. The only response from the authorities was to follow up with an urgent cremation, conducted in secret, by a team wearing full hazard suits.

    This local cover-up explains why the official national Xinhua outlet last week reported that all medical institutions had been ordered not to reject suspected viral pneumonia patients "for any reason".
    Why the cover-up? Wuhan was hosting annual meetings of the top municipal and provincial officials from January 7 to 17. Bad things were not allowed to happen.
    The censors ordered the media to report nothing more than what was published in the Communist Party's official outlets. So there were "zero infections" of medical staff for weeks until a dozen were reported infected all at once.

    And there were mysterious delays in reporting the spread of the virus. For instance, beyond Wuhan, no new cases were reported in China from December 12 to January 21. Yet in those intervening 39 days, cases were confirmed in Thailand, Japan and the US.

    Mackenzie says there are still a lot of questions to be answered. He asks why the local authorities in Wuhan called in China's national centre for disease control only on December 31, "when they should have known they had a problem earlier than that".

    And this is the second fatal flaw: China's authoritarian system is accustomed to wielding power without accountability. Cover-ups, repression and censorship are the norm.

    The local officials were conducting business as usual. But the virus defied them and Beijing ultimately acted. In the meantime, a local epidemic spread around the world. A Wuhan outbreak became an international pandemic. Fatal flaws indeed."

    If you are into chicken feet, then maybe bats are fair game (no pun intended).

    Why flights haven't been cancelled is beyond me other than not wanting offend our Chinese friends. Importing hundreds of people daily with the knowledge some of them will be infected and letting them loose on the community is just irresponsible but then again it is the government we are talking about.

    Easy to see where ground zero is......

    I guess you are inferring that my comment deplores you because you think I am in no position to make it. Again, each to his own.

    My news is that half as many have died than SARS though more are infected than SARS, and the virus, whilst new, is not as aggressive as once thought.

    Take the time to read all of a comment before cutting and pasting a little bit to suit your little rants.

    I wonder how many people realise, simple face masks don't protect against airborne viruses. They can only protect against large droplets (sneezing or coughing on/by you). If a virus is airborne, you need a respirator that has a tight seal around your nose and mouth (even though you can still get infected thru your eyes, since they drain thru to the back of the throat). So to all those people wasting money buying simple surgical type masks... they're only as good as a placebo. If you believe otherwise, how about moving some asbestos for me...

    Take Peter Hartchers words with grain of salt. That pos gets paid to lick Americans ass and bash china. Go back read all his articles on china. 99% are negative. Ignored that turd after realizing this.

    This article was published around the time of the SARS outbreak in 2003 and highlights some the negative effects SARS had on the sex industry. The question is whether Coronavirus will have a similar impact on the sex industry as SARS did.

    You guys probably have no idea what actually is going on out there on the Sydney streets right now ?

    Try go to your local chemists, Chemist warehouse, Priceline or whatever and try to buy some surgical face mask !! and come back here to let us know which shop in what suburbs have stocks ?

    Then go to your local supermarket and check out the shelves where they usually sell hand sanitiser !!

    Just my two cents

    Good luck to us all.


    ps. I was in Bondi Junction yesterday and none of the chemists from East Gate to along Oxford Street have any stocks. Except Mitre 10 where they were selling the P2 dust mask which is not quite right for the virus but there was a queue at the check out counter and they were all buying the same thing, they probably would be sold out by now.

    Actually, the turd along with Hong Kong and Taiwan no doubt loves China while hating the **** CCP. He probably thinks the CCP are NOT China.

    the biggest risk i see is if you get a knock on the door from the authorities saying you have been traced as a contact with someone who has it. the wife will want ANSWERS!
