Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Seems to be some differences of opinion in the us on how the virus is likely to increase.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - An internal U.S. government document projects a surge in coronavirus cases and a sharp rise in daily deaths by June 1, the New York Times reported on Monday, even as President Donald Trump urged states to lift restrictions to quell the pandemic.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

"Bubble" Discussed

Jacinda Ardern has attended the Australian National Cabinet meeting to discuss the Trans Tasman Bubble.

The idea is to open travel between Australia and New Zealand as soon as possible (this is still weeks away).

The Shutdown is Expensive


Maintaining the coronavirus shutdown is costing the economy $4 billion a week, according to new Treasury analysis that will be considered by the nation's leaders as they meet to decide which restrictions to lift.

Treasury estimates the mass closure of businesses and activities, designed to stop the spread of the virus, will see Gross Domestic Product plunge by 10 per cent in the June quarter — the equivalent of $50 billion being wiped from the economy.

Testing Ramped Up

Australia is significantly expanding testing for COVID-19 across the country in order to stay on top of the virus and provide a path to re-open large portions of public life.

More than 630,000 people in Australia have been tested for the coronavirus, with the number of tests ramped-up to over 23,000 per day.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Hi

Things are starting to come out about the epidemic here in the UK.

The Government are wanting a Public Inquiry, which, like Grenfell, will take many years.

MPs are pushing for it to be investigated by Select Committees.

Yes, I know , but the Mail are reporting as well.

Hindsight is such a wonderful skill.

In order to check all those people, who were flying in, we would have to have built an enormous process, and have it up and running, between learning of the virus threat and at how to check for it.

Maybe that newspaper could help us with a bit of "reverse Engineering".

Better still, we might have had the bonus of Corbyn dealing with it for us?

Great!
