Are you sure Aussie shops don’t have Asian punters who’s been overseas ?
And also, all Aussie shops have a few Asian ladies working too !

I think it would be a good time to take a break from punting until this all blows over. Just don't want to risk it.
Whilst it is sad for the people that have lost their lives and for the people that have been affected, I think authorities with the help of media have done a reasonable job in doing what they can to make sure people are aware and have got people to do their thing to contain the potential spread. If you have returned from China in the last 2 weeks you surely would know to go get a check up.
Sydney really has nothing too much to worry about. As for punting, I don't know if anyone realises but we are very much a minority group. Yes, a lot of WLs are Chinese and that does mathematically increase the risk, but I am more concerned about contracting it in general public than in a brothel. And my concern really, in Sydney is next to none.
Given that, if I was to win the Corona Virus Powerball and contract it, I will get the right treatment to manage it and will eventually be fine. I am a pretty healthy guy and these flu like bugs kill the already sick/old/frail or those unfortunate enough not to get the right treatment.
Now, can we resume normal programming on here please?
Closed-minded much? Garlic contains a natural bacterial-viral-killing compound called Allicin. There's been countless studies on the immune boosting abilities of Garlic. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/?term=garlic+immunity
My greatest fear is being realised. Chinese men and Chinese women will be discriminated against until this Coronavirus blows over.
Yeah each to his own, I guess you could have applied the same theory and ignored my comment. I did wait a few days and endure some pretty wacky comments before I chimed in with my 2 cents.
I can understand why there is a high level of hysteria in Wuhan and even MLC, but Sydney, Austealia? Please.........
It's not a cure, a stronger immune system will only increase your probability of survival if you do catch it.
The safest place on Earth against the CoronaVirus right now is North Korea .... oh the irony.
The Australian government believes the virus can't be spread during the incubation period (up to 14 days) where infected people show no symptons. The Chinese government believes the virus is infectious during the incubation period. Who to believe?
Going to sound racist I understand culture but why would you eat things like bats and shit if they are known to carry viruses and shit?
I fear this going to make the Chinese even more disliked in the Western World.
And why the hell did the Government not cancel all flights from Wuhan?
I would bet serious coin on you catching something else from punting before you got Novel Coronavirus, unless you travel to Wuhan and close areas for your punting needs.
I have spoken to WLs and MLs about it. They are all horrified by it. I have seen them posting in social media. They know if they are a risk or not. Do I need to remind punters how much 2 weeks off work dents a WL or ML way of life? Most of us can take sick leave and doesn't make a dent at all?
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!
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?
in the middle of intercourse with a WL tell her you have a secret to tell, I'm from Wuhan and fake a cough. see her reaction.
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."
It's the Apocalypse ... again ... LOL!
Worst case scenario ... a few thousand people will die.
And these people will be basically be really old, sick, feeble, demented ... death with come as a relief to them ... the alternative is a slow death by old age, pain killers, over-medication, nursing home abuse, prescription pharmaceuticals, .. Flu, pneumonia, falling over etc is nature's euthanasia ... nature will do what needs to be done .. nature will do what human beings with there distorted, hypocritical, religion infused, corrupted, pseudo morality refuse to do.
Bring it on ... let's relieve these poor, sick, old, miserable people of their pain ...
