I’d argue that Covid19, and China’s “ambitions” are pretty well intertwined?

If the origins of the virus are confirmed as being from the lab be it accidental or not, the actions of the WHO and CPP directly following will be a contentious issue, as will the facts as to who was involved and supported the program from the beginning.

That... sounds almost like a conspiracy theory...

A lot of those 'hot' regions where the mortality rate is low, could because they already take anti-malaria drugs?

I know in The Philippines Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin are drugs readily available at the local Watsons or Mercury drug store without a script from a doctor. Just walk in and order what you want.

Not sure if this directly answers your question though, most people either aren't educated enough to understand how the medication can work, or don't have the money to buy it.

interesting Video doing the rounds on FB.

While it could be staged, it backs up what multiple doctors have spoken out about in the USA in regards to the inaccuracy of the statistics being reported.

The more number of Covid-19 patients a hospital records, the larger the amount of funding the hospital administrators receive. This pattern is going to stop shortly. You're going to see a massive reduction in the number of cases being reported as the funding has now stopped.

So the Chinese are deflating the numbers and the yanks are inflating them makes the moon landings seem suss surely they would have noticed the world is indeed flat from up there.

I’d probably trust the nightly news than doctors directly involved in the system myself..

Brazil's President Says Coronavirus Is Just ‘Hysteria’ and Went Ahead and Fired His Health Minister

Jair Bolsonaro has pushed unproven coronavirus 'cures' and claimed that his athletic prowess will protect him if he gets infected.

This happened a lot too; I'm dobbing on you cos you're dobbing on me!

Ahh... Covid19... The perfect opportunity for Victoria to adopt The long touted “pay by km” system.
15c per km and $1.00 per km in CBD... Even with rego & stamp-duty waived, going to be expensive if you do 20-30,000kms a year!

[GO FURTHER]

Don't know whether this has been mentioned here in this thread before or not.
(Too many pages now to go back and check).

But looking at the latest figures of infection in some of the worst hit countries, and taking each of their respective total population's into account, here are your chances of getting Covid-19 d there;

USA - 1 in 3,300 people
Spain - 1 in 238 people
Italy - 1 in 343 people
France - 1 in 430 people
Iceland - 1 in 193
Belgium - 1 in 301 people
Switzerland - 1 in 312 people
Ireland - 1 in 334 people

Now imagine if social distancing was not in place, imagine attending a music concert or other crowded sporting event?

Puts the seriousness of the virus threat into perspective when you look at the figures in that way.

If you look at the data that way then the USA seems like it's doing the best to mitigate the pandemic because you have the least chance of contracting it by a mile compared to all the other countries on that list.

Yeah so instead of costing $700/year it'll cost me $4500/year at a minimum because I do 30,000km/year just driving to and from work alone.

If only we all worked in the CBD and had public transport access.

If this is implemented, officially change my stance on holding China accountable for COVID-19 from DEFCON 4 to DEFCON 1

[russellw]

We had 26 new cases and 1 death yesterday and the CMR rose to 1.074%.
The USA CMR also rose to 5.281% although the number of deaths was lower than the previous days.
The UK added another >5k cases but saw an improvement in CMR to 13.376% as the fatalities dropped from the ~800 level they had been at, to ~500.
Although NZ only had 9 new cases, the one death was enough to life their CMR to 0.839%.

[Tassie f100]

Looking at rough numbers it appears that Australia has recorded 1 death for every 360,000 people,whereas USA has 1 death for every 8700 people,so, I reckon with our pretty tight regulations we are a long way ahead of the game compared to others.

Yes doing well, but....a thing that does not appear to show up is that Aus & NZ are in summer/warmer mode while all those other places got hit middle of their winter period. I do wonder how much effect this has had on the spread... just curious

[cs123]

QLD are reporting no cases for the past 24 hours

[five 7]

So on a lighter note NZ has level 4 lockdown extended for one more week, then two weeks at level 3. We have only 9 new cases today, seems like we are getting on top of it.

I think there’s going to be a lot of getting on top once L4 is lifted.

Can we please leave out the Race/Gender/Age posts and get back on topic?

But it's such a nice distraction from the 5G/china/communist/reptilian illuminate fights.

We in qld elected a premier who can barely string a sentence together, now she's appointed a police commissioner as inarticulate. Seriously, women should be outraged these are there public face now...far better to get back to meter maids...

Something i found interesting today. Was speaking to the cleaning manager in a building because he had a faulty auto hand sanitiser thingy but the company that supplies them has no stock to replace it. Fixed that. Anyrate, what he was saying is each one costs $600, and each refill is $100. And even though theres next to no one in the building, theyre going through heaps. Now obviously their schedule for bathrooms etc has increased, even though tge place is almost empty, some bathrooms get cleaned/sanitised up to 8 times before anybody even uses them. So this bloke has had to sit through a few training courses on how best to manage the situation. His advice was use sanitiser if its there, but the best option is washing your hands as often as possible. So dont touch a heap of door handles then eat a sandwich. Also to be any form of effective, it should be 80% alcohol, and 100 proof. The bloke i was working with joked about washing hands in vodka. The response was just 'if you can afford it'.
