"Australian home affairs minister Peter Dutton announced Friday that he had tested positive for the coronavirus.
Dutton last week attended an event in the US on countering child exploitation, and was pictured with Ivanka Trump and Attorney General William Barr.
“Ivanka is exhibiting no symptoms and does not need to self-quarantine,” the White House told Business Insider in a statement.
On Thursday the White House said that President Donald Trump was not being tested for the coronavirus despite attending an event with a Brazilian official who has the virus."

That's brain-dead. The virus is asymptomatic which means you can show no symptoms initially and have the virus as wellas be extremely contageous !! Who are these people who think they don't need to be tested ?? This sets a very dangerous precedent Sad

This is what happens when you don't contain the virus early !

That means its a good thing im paranoid about mum getting sick because back then i knew someone who came back from japan really sick and everyone around him got sick and i wouldnt let him in the house with mum and made everyone near him wear mask and gloves etc. Wow. Prolly a cluster went around here under the radar.

Meanwhile those clever Chinese have got some reasonably good news ...

BEIJING (Reuters) - The Chinese city of Wuhan, ground zero of the coronavirus outbreak, reported just five new cases on Friday, the second day in a row the tally has been less than 10, while no locally transmitted infections were reported in the rest of the country.

Wuhan, capital of central Hubei province, registered the five new cases on Thursday, the National Health Commission said, down from eight cases the previous day. The commission routinely reports new cases the day after the data is collected.

Excluding Wuhan, Hubei had reported no new infections for eight consecutive days.

The commission said on Thursday China’s coronavirus epidemic had passed its peak, even as alarm over the virus intensified elsewhere with global markets suffering record falls and governments unveiling measures to try to slow the spread of a disease that has infected more than 127,000 people worldwide.

The financial hub of Shanghai reported two new cases, while Beijing saw one, all imported by people traveling to China from affected areas abroad, the health authority said.

Those cases brought the total number of new infections in mainland China to eight on Thursday, down from 15 the previous day, and the lowest since the healthy authority started publishing nationwide figures in January.

To date, the total accumulated number of cases in mainland China is 80,813.

The coronavirus has killed more than 3,000 people in mainland China.

It had also stalled the world’s second-largest economy as, beginning in January, authorities ordered work stoppages, travel restrictions and home quarantines.

As the measures start to pay off, local governments have been ordered to revive their economies, especially those in areas that have not had to deal with extensive outbreaks.

Hubei province has started to loosen the strict controls that kept up to 60 million people under a virtual lockdown for weeks.

Wuhan has seen some restrictions relaxed this week and the nearby city of Huanggang, which also had numerous coronavirus cases, on Friday begun relaxing its lockdown, saying that residents could start traveling within the city.

Outside Hubei, about 60% of small- and medium-sized firms and 95% of large ones have gone back to work, vice industry minister Xin Guobin said on Friday.

The death toll in mainland China reached 3,176 as of the end of Thursday, up by seven from the previous day.

In Hubei, there were six new deaths, with Wuhan accounting for all of them.

Now which countries are displaying R0 values of 2 ??? Hint R0 values will be different in each country depending on what steps they are taking to contain the spread of it !

Obviously you didn't read or didn't comprehend the link.

"To estimate how easily a virus spreads, scientists calculate its "basic reproduction number," or R0 (pronounced R-nought). R0 predicts the number of people who can catch a given bug from a single infected person, Live Science previously reported. Currently, the R0 for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease COVID-19, is estimated at about 2.2, meaning a single infected person will infect about 2.2 others, on average."

So a global average. You do understand averages don't you? Some countries more - some countries less. Heck even some states more some states less in Australia.

So now you don't trust the science? You denier you. Grin

Well, yes, figures do get reported.

That's the same the world over.

Initially China wasn't "reporting" ......... now it's reporting less & less cases &

now trying to blame the outbreak on a "patient zero" that came from overseas - a foreigner. Grin

The CCP couldn't lie straight in bed.
