To do so makes absolutely no sense whatsoever Assman. You can't die from a disease you don't have.

I hope not, we don't want Boris getting ideas like that!
No, that is a nonsense.

Why would the police have anything to do with vaccinations? Why would you need to remove underwear for a flu vaccination? There are no laws that I am aware of enforcing any vaccinations.

The police's job is to enforce the law, also the police are state based so enforce state laws they can't operate in other states. The federal police only have jurisdiction in the ACT and Commonwealth properties such as airports.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Tess I think you're referring to psychotic patients in the UK. I'm assuming this is still standard practice. I saw that they were recently discussing only having one psychiatrist make decisions (you currently need two and a social worker). It says here that they have to give this one in the buttock.

Having been through helping people in this type of situation I know how powerless the patient is without an advocate.

However, they do not give vaccines to anyone by force in this way. This is only allowed for antipsychotic injections where a patient is in steep decline. They are also not allowed to force someone to eat anti-depressants, anti-psychotics or other tablets. But they are allowed to give a patient electro convulsive therapy against their will if they have the second opinion etc.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

There is a really interesting article today about the spread of Covid and the death toll, this is an excerpt from the section on Europe:


Italy was the first European country to be hit by the novel coronavirus. On January 28, two visitors from Wuhan were placed in isolation in a hospital in Rome.

Italy's first local case visited his GP on February 16. Unprecedented lockdowns followed, but local governments resisted these measures at first.

In March, Europe became the virus's global epicentre and hospitals in Italy had to decide who would receive the use of limited medical supplies, and who would be left to die.

Cases in Italy peaked by mid March and the country's case total (now about 310,000) has since been eclipsed by the United Kingdom (almost 440,000), France (over 550,000) and Spain (over 715,000).

Spain and France saw cases begin to take off in March, but had their first outbreaks under control by May.

However, both countries are now well into a second wave, with case numbers continuing to rise.

Italy is showing a much smaller second wave but still has more deaths (over 35,000) than Spain or France (both over 31,000), but not the UK (over 42,000).

In the UK, it appeared Prime Minister Boris Johnson's administration had made a decision to tolerate the spread of the virus in pursuit of herd immunity before ramping up the response when modelling estimated 250,000 deaths.


Definitely well worth a read.

Hello Donkeyman, my friend....

I suspect that the positive readings are coming from the students and schoolchildren, hence not many deaths.
These youngsters will ensure our protection in the future, by building a human wall against further infection of the elderly.
We are prolonging the virus by isolating, it will visit most people eventually, hence the new spikes since they returned to school and university. This will always happen once we drop our guard, but not if most people have survived it. All viruses have ended this way.
