Some optimism on the Coronavirus
Medical scientists at the Dougherty Institute in Melbourne have successfully re-created the Coronavirus in a laboratory. The first time it has been done outside China.This is an important beginning to beating this thing. See attached on radio report and one TV report from ABC. China is not sharing information or copies of the virus. Because of this it had to be recreated in order to make copies to send to the WHO. IT is an international disease now so the WHO has to oversee and approve all research findings. One important thing that can be done now – without China’s help – is that more information can be gleaned about how the virus is spread. Also people who have the virus but no symptoms can be identified. This is a really momentous step.https://www.abc.net.au/radio/program...e-lab/11908962

Re: Some optimism on the Coronavirus
The latest report from China states, 132 deaths so far. 5 confirmed cases in the U.S. , including one only a few miles from me. The TV news showed one of the U.S. patients being rolled into an entirely secluded hospital wing, encased in a large tube-like plastic container. Seems like the health department and hospital are taking this coronavirus flu extremely seriously.
but it may still take years for a vaccine to become available.

It kind of begs the question why do you think?..This team has supplied the missing information.
they got the sample from evacuated from china under isolation
conditions, or did they just arrive back in OZ under their own
steam and then fall ill?
I see today 600 ozzie citizens have been landed on Christmas
Island as a precaution before allowing them into OZ?
Looks like Scott is taking this seriously!
