Re: Chinese Coronavirus
Our boy, currently living in Oz, has been skyping, advising us on the best mask to buy, goggles too, sent this link ...https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/a...75ae62e5c06e61
The good news ... it's levelling out, fizzling out, hopefully.
EDIT you might have to click Trends at the bottom to see what I mean about levelling out.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
How do you know if I haven't already had it?
I had a cold/flu like bout just after Christmas coming off a cruise. Pretty typical stuff from such an environment of 1000s of people in one confined place. No issues.
A sore throat for 24 hrs, dry tickly cough for the following 1-2 weeks and so on. Probably had a raised temperature too and fast heart beat.
All very much par for the course with such bugs.
Of course I didn't feel the need to report this to anyone. I never do. I don't go rushing to my local GP when I get cold/flu like symptoms.
And neither do millions of other people.
So let's be truthful here. The actual number of cases of Coronavirus is very likely many many thousands more than are being stated because the only cases being stated are those that have been reported, where people went to their GP.
So the Case Fatality Rate of 2% is likely massively high and thus our chances of dying from this virus are likely much much smaller than 2%. But of course such truths don't make for good sensationalist TV and don't support a deliberate media Campaign of Fear which will (I guarantee) lead to the sale of a $billion Coronavirus vaccine (which I have no doubt already exists)
We can expect in the coming months for them to suddenly say that they have magically rushed a vaccine through all the testing cycles that normally take an age and that people can trot off for their Coronavirus shot.
Same old same old.
Campaign of fear to sell pills, potions and vaccines.
But naïve people still fall for it so that business model will continue.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
Ha ha ya gotta laugh - as predicted the plane taking Australian citizens from Wuhan has to stop at an RAAF base in WA for them to move to smaller planes for their flight to Christmas Island for two weeks in a detention centre.The Federal government is not charging them $1000 as mentioned before claiming it was a "miscommunication".
Non Australians who have been in or transited through mainland China from 1st February have had their visas cancelled. The Government announced anyone who has arrived after the restrictions came into place would be put "in an alternative place of detention for a quarantine period".
This has had a dramatic effect on arrivals according to the ABC News instead of the normal 5000 arrivals in Melbourne today 700 people arrived.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
Almost 300 Australians have left the coronavirus epicentre of Wuhan on a chartered Qantas evacuation flight that will take them to Christmas Island via Western Australia.The flight, which landed in Wuhan at 1:10am (local time) via Hong Kong, was expected to depart one hour later but experienced delays on the tarmac.
There were issues complicating the flight, including the fact Wuhan airport was closed to regular services.
However delays had been expected and planned for.
Some Australians in Wuhan declined the evacuation, choosing to wait things out rather than accept the indirect route home.
The volunteer crew members would be sealed on an upper deck for most of the flight.
They are there for safety requirements, ie managing doors on departure and arrival, they are all wearing gloves and medical-grade masks.
The plane will be deep cleaned before being returned to normal service.

At the moment Australia has seven confirmed cases of the disease.

Read my post.
If your immune system is compromised or you have respiratory problems you are more likely to be seriously affected by this virus.
A simple Medical Fact.
If you have Flu your immune system is compromised fighting that infection, you also have respiratory problems.
This puts you in the highest risk category.
Simple, basic advise which you choose to ignore.
Your life, your choice.
