Now the army has it. I wonder if China will invade while the army has the flu?

Our defence force! What a virus can do to our defence force.

As Chris Martensen says, we have ...

Case.
Case.
Case.
Cluster.
Cluster...
Boom!

Remember Oz had 25 cases for a while, no change, like a calm before a storm..... suddenly, we have 78.
It’s tripled in a short amount of time.

That's because they haven't tightened up our borders enough ...... and people are flying in & out from all over the globe & are not being screened ...... or quarantined.

One thing is for sure -
air travel was the cause of this virus spreading
all around the world so quickly.

Air travel has always been a threat/risk with with communicable disease & viruses for decades ......especially from people travelling from 3rd world & developing countries ....

it's also a major threat to our biodiversity & disease free status for our plant & animal industries.

You only have to watch one episode of Border Security -Australia ...... to see the number of cases they catch deliberately not declaring & bringing in prohibited foods & plant material.....

& in the majority of those caught are Asian/SE Asians.

So just imagine the number that they miss who get through?

The same is happening in the COVD-19 cases getting through our airports now.

I'm watching 60 Minutes now.

Prediction is 45 million dead -
worse than the Spanish flu.

I watched 60 Minutes -
the message was simple -

we're doomed.

Don't watch that garbage, and your life will be a lot better.

yes - I'm suffering from Coronavirus news overload.

60 Minutes has made it worse.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday that anyone with symptoms should "self-isolate." He said "nobody should be penalized for doing the right thing," and that workers would be financially compensated in full for the time they take off work.

Casual employees don't get sick leave - who's gonna compensate them?

Does the whole world have to re-think international air travel?

Maybe it's just not possible anymore unless we
accept a minimum of 45 million people dying
from this outbreak and the next one?

In fact that is for a death rate of 1%.
What if a new unknown virus has a death rate of 50% ?

Concentrate, Bobby.

Nobody has said anything about a minimum of 45 million deaths.

It's up to 45 million.

It's people like you, spreading misinformation like that, who are causing all the associated problems (panic-buying toilet paper, etc.).

Stop it.

Just stop it, okay?

I may have missed it, but I haven't seen any suggestion that this may be Nature's way of regulating the Earth's population...

Amidst all the info and it is coming in thick and fast, I swear I saw someone say that this could be Mother Nature fighting back, as regards to the killing and eating if wild life.

I did watch 60 minutes, and I noted this, with secret hidden cameras, going around wet markets, the chopping of this wild life, on a wooden board, using same knife, for all animals, and that wooden board is filled with blood from one animal to another.
Mixed blood of all different wild life Shocked

Now I’m educated enough to know about hygiene and cross contamination when handling food in the kitchen, I have different chopping boards for fish, chicken, meat, and veges, using a clean knife every time, and not to put cooked meat back in a plate/tray where raw food was.

When I saw that chopping of all different types animals on that block with blood mixed and same chopping knife used over and over , it just threw me!

It's not misinformation. Those figures are probably at the low end of the scale the way Scumo and Trump are dealing with this !
