"Australians are being warned to be wary of coronavirus pandemic misinformation being spread online or through chain messages.

The latest message containing incorrect information was shared widely on Tuesday night ahead of Scott Morrison’s Wednesday morning update on the government’s plans to tackle the continued spread of COVID-19.

As multiple countries across Europe enter an unprecedented lockdown, speculation has been rife over Australia’s next move.

While a tightening of restrictions was announced by Mr Morrison on Wednesday morning, several chain messages earlier claimed to have information from verified sources and touted an impending major lockdown announcement from the prime minister.

The message is thought to have been sent around by thousands of people, but was completely false.

One message suggested a nationwide lockdown would be implemented from Wednesday and would include the shut down of all social gatherings, internal travel restrictions and a ban on all visitors entering Australia.

The message also falsely claimed that all government and private premises except essential services would closed.

The messages prompted several leading journalists across Australia to condemn the spread of the m misinformation."

HEALTH WARNING:-  THE HYSTERIA SURROUNDING CORONAVIRUS IS HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS AND CAN RESULT IN THE DEATHS OF SHOPPERS.

They had their meeting and yes, all the cards to be put on the table to know what to put into effect.
Not all cards will be played. Some put aside for later in case.

Yes I believe the lockdown was discussed. Leaked sources and then goes from a scratch to a broken arm when doing  chinese whispers (pun intended)

PM said it was a long night begun his morning speech.
Leaked sources came out that implementations of bans would be told by Wednesday and it did happen.
Also leaked was there would be further discussions and told to us by Friday, which the PM had stated.

Discussions, all night, which cards to deal.
It would be difficult and I’m so grateful their discussion of lockdown not essential at this point.
Discussion card about stage 4 flights.....yes went ahead with that.
Discussions card of school closures.....this was a tricky one, but following Singapore’s example, decided not to close schools, for now.
With school holidays and Easter break coming up soon, school children will be having 2 weeks off anyway, so the timing of that is of great essence.

Just remember, some held back cards on the table for further discussion may or may not be dealt.
It all depends on the flattening of the curve.

All that’s being implemented so far, are for at least the next six months!
Maybe even longer.
This is the new way of life as we will know it now.

Not hysterics as all, it’s a lot of changes that are happening and we all know there could be more restrictions yet to be put into place, all to do with the numbers and that curve.

I don’t think it’s a joke, I’m concerned as it’s effecting a lot of people’s businesses and livelihood. House prices are tumbling. People are holding back from spending except on food. That $750 economy stimulus package won’t be spent on economy, people will save it due to uncertainties of their own livelihood.

There are restrictions of 100 people in any gathering, how about weddings already booked from last year? Some may have a large guest list already.

The 14 day immediate self isolation from overseas passengers, didn’t give enough time for family and friends to rebook flights for the wedding tomorrow my family are attending. The bride is besides herself not having her sister at her wedding tomorrow.

So talk about hysterics/early warnings, it’s no bull, it’s reality now as we will learn in the passage of time.

I met a young woman named Mona
She was so hot she gave me a boner
I called her today she's not home-a
Tomorrow I'll die of Carona

At least we don't have anyone
on this forum spreading false rumors.

I’m guessing airline industries may go under?
Big nobs having huge pay cuts.
I thought if they just run the minimums flights then there’s no ghost flights, that should save them?

If airlines like qantas are cutting 90% of flights until August!
Does that mean a huge percentage of employees are at home? Will they be paid? For the next 6 months?
They don’t know and are waiting for the outcome.
Daughter in law already searching for other employment due to uncertainty of her hostess job in future.
She worked years to get way up to the first class rank.
So much for that!

The figures on the Flu vs Corona have been fudged...

They are outright lying...  🤥

Quote:

Evidence Shows Director General of World Health Organization Severely Overstated the Fatality Rate of the Coronavirus Leading to the Greatest Global Panic in History The controversial Ethiopian politician and Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, claimed in a press conference in early March that the fatality rate for the coronavirus was many multiples that of the fatality rate of the common flu. This egregiously false premise has led to the greatest panic in world history. The Director General of the WHO spoke on March 3, 2020 and shared this related to the coronavirus: [quote] While many people globally have built up immunity to seasonal flu strains, COVID-19 is a new virus to which no one has immunity. That means more people are susceptible to infection, and some will suffer severe disease. Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected. This statement led to the greatest panic in world history as the media all over the world shared and repeated that the coronavirus was many, many times more deadly than the common flu.

The problem is his statement is false.  It was not accurate!

The Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, that the coronavirus fatality rate reported by the media was completely inaccurate and the actual rate is less than the current seasonal flu – the media was lying again. The false reporting of the coronavirus fatality rate of 3.4% in the media started with the statements made by the WHO in early March.

Here’s a summary of the analysis from yesterday proving the Director General’s statement was very misleading and materially false:

1 - . The fatality rate of the coronavirus was based on current data available of known positive cases and known deaths.

Oftentimes estimates have to be made because data is just not yet available. The Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, used the fatality rate of coronavirus with known numbers and used this as his prediction of eventual mortality rate.  This was a faulty assumption.  Estimates usually involve obtaining information that is available and making estimates on what is not. We cannot tell the future but we can make educated guesses based on information available. This is what has been done with the coronavirus because this type of virus has apparently never been seen before.

2. Sometimes estimates are reasonable and sometimes they are wrong, and even way off.

The point is that whenever estimates are made of large unknown values they are always wrong because no one can tell the future. Sometimes estimates end up close and sometimes they are not and sometimes they are way off.

3. The current “estimate” for the coronavirus fatality rate according to the WHO is about 3.4%.

The estimate used most often is from the WHO based on the Director General’s comments.  The WHO estimates the mortality rate of the coronavirus to be around 3.4%:

The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated the mortality rate from Covid-19 is about 3.4%. That is higher than seasonal flu and is cause for concern – but even if it is correct, more than 96% of people who become infected with the coronavirus will recover.

4. The same rate for this year’s seasonal flu is 10% if you use known cases and known deaths (but the media tells you it’s .1%).

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, according to CDC numbers, in the US in the 2019-2020 flu season, there were 222,552 confirmed cases of the flu from testing and an estimated 36 million flu cases in the United States. There were 22,000 estimated deaths from the flu (via the CDC).

Note that the number of deaths and confirmed cases (through testing) of the flu in the US are based on actual data. The number of individuals who contracted the flu is an estimate. There is no way to know who had the flu in the US because many cases are not severe and people do not have a test done to confirm they had the flu. They believe their symptoms are minor and go on with their normal lives thinking they had a cold or something similar. Because of this, the CDC estimates and they estimated 36 million people had the flu in this past flu season.

The rate of the number of individuals who died from the flu to the number of individuals who were estimated to have had the flu is .1% (22,552 / 36 million). This is an estimate and the amount used above by the Director General of the WHO.

However, the rate of individuals who died from the flu to the number of individuals who were confirmed to have had the flu is around 10% (22,000/ 222,552). This is based on actual data similar to the rate for the coronavirus above.[/quote]

Quote:

5. Actual results for the coronavirus are lower than the flu. Based on the above numbers, the actual fatality rate for those who were confirmed to have had the coronavirus is 3.4%. The actual mortality rates for those who were confirmed to have had the flu are around 10%. The actual data shows that the mortality rate for those who had the flu (10%) is almost twice as high than for those with the coronavirus (3.8%). 6. Current estimates between the flu and the coronavirus are not comparing ‘apples to apples’. The fatality rate that is commonly referred to in the media for the coronavirus is 3.4% from the WHO. This number is based on confirmed cases of people with the coronavirus. The flu fatality rate provided by the CDC of .1% includes an estimate of individuals who had the flu (36,000,000).  This rate includes an estimate of all people with the flu, most who were not tested for the flu. The fatality rate for the coronavirus does not include those who had the coronavirus but were not confirmed. This is why the flu fatality rate is .1% and the coronavirus fatality rate is 3.4%! The two rates are like comparing apples to oranges. By doing so the coronavirus fatality rate is way overstated when compared to the flu and the WHO and the media has created a worldwide crisis and panic by reporting these rates simultaneously! The coronavirus is not more fatal than the flu based on current data available. It is much less fatal than the flu based on current data. 7. Those most at risk from the coronavirus are the elderly and sick (similar to the flu). Similar to the flu, those most at risk of dying from the coronavirus are the elderly and the sick. The average age for those who died from the coronavirus in Italy is 81 years old. This is consistent around the world. There have been no known fatalities for any children 10 and under. The sick are also at a higher risk similar to the flu. Current data shows that if you have no pre-existing conditions, your fatality rate if you contract the coronavirus is .9% (and what proportion of these cases are the elderly). In summary, President Trump was right when he said the WHO’s coronavirus fatality rate was much too high. Evidence proves the coronavirus is not as deadly as what was reported by the WHO and is continually repeated in the media. In fact, current data shows it is not as deadly as the flu. The elderly and the sick should be concerned and  protected. Everyone else has little to worry about. Again, don’t believe what the media is telling you. They are lying again.

the Pommy doctor stated that after putting the figures and claims through the wringer, deaths from the virus will be less than 1%


but if people have learned nothing else from this pantomime, it's the power of the media to bend world leaders to obey

and the power of the media to turn the world upside down

and that media shows no signs of quitting its campaign to convince the world that it's being ravaged by a 'deadly virus'

complicit are medical 'experts' who doubtless will be able to retire early thanks to their scaremongering

But, the bullsh*t is losing ground

and the US forums are now steadily counting the numbers of bots and paid-to-posts who've been called-in to bolster the virus lies

with: 'my son has it', 'my neighbour's cousin has it', 'I nearly died from it' crap

Some in the US strongly suspect that while fake climate-change failed and all the other 'pandemics' did also, the controllers decided on 'corona' to stage a world takeover in order to drive 'world currency' and 'world government'

and if that fails to grant them total power, they'll use 'corona vaccines' (mandatory) to quell public resistance

Meanwhile, Queensland university stated for the record the other day (I posted the article recently) that they are using a combination of HIV and anti-malarial drugs (already in existence) to completely eradicate 'corona' from patients

and India said this to be the case a couple of months ago (posted at the time by Bobby)


The powers that be are on thin ice.  It's all or nothing for them at this point.  They've bent over all world leaders.  They control money and the media.  They've thrown everything at this bs virus in order to bring the world to heel.  If it fails, it will be a long time (if they have a brain) before they pull this stunt again

and while we're at it ---- props to India, which despite its appalling lack of first world hygiene and its chronic over crowding --- where are the millions of sub-continental 'corona' cases?  That's right.  Crickets

I take off my hat to India for refusing to contribute to the bullsh*t that is corona virus

Coincidence?

Remdesivir and chloroquine effectively inhibit the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in vitro

Excerpt:

"Chloroquine, a widely-used anti-malarial and autoimmune disease drug, has recently been reported as a potential broad-spectrum antiviral drug.8,9 Chloroquine is known to block virus infection by increasing endosomal pH required for virus/cell fusion, as well as interfering with the glycosylation of cellular receptors of SARS-CoV.10 Our time-of-addition assay demonstrated that chloroquine functioned at both entry, and at post-entry stages of the 2019-nCoV infection in Vero E6 cells (Fig. 1c, d). Besides its antiviral activity, chloroquine has an immune-modulating activity, which may synergistically enhance its antiviral effect in vivo. Chloroquine is widely distributed in the whole body, including lung, after oral administration. The EC90 value of chloroquine against the 2019-nCoV in Vero E6 cells was 6.90 μM, which can be clinically achievable as demonstrated in the plasma of rheumatoid arthritis patients who received 500 mg administration.11 Chloroquine is a cheap and a safe drug that has been used for more than 70 years and, therefore, it is potentially clinically applicable against the 2019-nCoV."

Why do you always use the least believable sites for your links.

i would suspect that the south koreans have the best data.
they did a lot of drive in testing and their death rate is about .6%.

and its probably lower then that because a lot of asymptomatic south koreans may have had it and not been tested.

so say we drop that down to .3 or .4 % which is what i believe it will be.

thats 3 or 4 x worse then the flu but its not worth totally demolishing the world economy over.

quite true.

its going to wipe out a lot of small business, small airlines, small tourist operators.

all large corporatiosn can go a year or two with no profits.

look at bhp or rio, they often having losing years and they bounce back.

but a lot of businesses wont.

its worth noting that a lot of governments wont bounce back (maybe including ours).

i heard daniel andrews saying governments might need to pay mortgages, pay teachers to stay home, give cash to small businesses for a year.
that would make daniel very vulnerable.
where will he borrow the cash .....china.

how will he pay it back....handing over assets, water assets, ports, airports, infrastructure, land , businesses . thats how.

how easily our leaders are played by the canny businessmen.

But more people are catching it because we don't have immunity or a vaccine.
so whilst the mortality rate could be only 3 or 4 x worse than the flu the actual death toll could be 10 x higher
And if our medical services get overwhelmed like they have in Italy and France then the toll will be even higher than that.

It's nothing to be complacent about

well, that's what they sign up for when they attend the orgies which they KNOW in advance will be recorded

our leaders BEG for the opportunity to become compromised via those recordings

it's the only way they have a chance of grasping the gold ring


So they sign up for it

then think they can switch the rules


The powers that be say 'no'.  You'll do as you're told.  Our media will flog to death a fake virus, and you will play along or else


and so the leaders wring their hands on cue

and tell people it's going to be grim

and when the ante's jacked up further, the leaders follow the script and claim this virus could kill millions of us and will extend in ferocity for several months

and as the supermarkets are controlled by the same kind, people ransack their bank accounts to build food stores to last a year

BUT --- didn't the media report only a few weeks ago that Aussies are not spending and instead are saving.  ALL that money held in banks.  And voila --- now it's coming OUT of bank accounts to pay for mountains of stored food

and to maintain the illusion of food shortages and panic buying driven by the media (96% owned by them, globally) the supermarkets restrict restocking.  And numpties roam supermarkets filming depleted shelves along with their 'bug out' stores of food, etc.  It's become a self-feeding phenomenon

meanwhile, the money market guys are busy as bees

while our supposed leaders bleat and hand wring

and society heads down a slippery slope


What is needed to prevent total calamity is for massively increased numbers of people to get online to call out the scams .. for example, by questioning hard all the bs and by posting stats showing this entire virus is a media-driven lie

true, nothing to be complacent over.

but not a civilisation ending catastrophe either.

we can save our economy by just getting this over and done with or we can have 18 months of protracted pain and a deep deep recession.

the reward for the latter is that a few less 80 plus year olds will find a spot in an ICU unit and will die of "the old mans friend"  pnuemonia.

if this were devestating teenagers i would be all for drastic measures.

its not.

and i will be quite happy, when i am 85 to die of a virus rather then hang around and linger
