But I dont spend all day and half the night on the computer, just searching for answers to life, like PT does. And then he has you come in to back him up.

Health experts say human-to-human spread of new virus is worrying

A disturbing new report says China is cremating bodies in secret, suggesting the official coronavirus death toll is “way too low”.

AP and staff writers
news.com.auJanuary 30, 20209:42am

World health officials, back from a visit to Beijing, expressed great concern that a dangerous new virus was spreading between people outside of China, even as the number of illnesses continue to grow dramatically inside that Asian nation.

The new virus has now infected more people in China than were sickened during the 2002-2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak. On Wednesday, the number of cases jumped to 5974, surpassing the 5327 people diagnosed with SARS.

The 1500 new cases means infections increased more than 30% in a day.


The trouble with a corrupt, secretive leadership is that you never get the true story Ouch

There are those who cant bear the thought that China might be sneaky and underhanded, no that is the realm of the Americans.
And will defend China to the hilt, the same way they are disparaging of America, not unless you are a democrat.
Western Australian labor government are doing their darnedest to avoid upsetting China; dont mention the CHINA word
Looking at vision of the wet markets in Wuhan the shoppers are not exactly "down at heal"
There was koala on the menu....
Western society is sending money to save the koala
and the chinese will EAT them...
For that matter what has been China contribution to Australias bush fire crisis?
You know very well they will PROFIT from it.
Western society will never understand eastern societies and vise versa.

How is that for a sniper attack whale? Quality over quantity. Hope it got you up the derriere....

Not just food Doc. Maybe you should advise the guys to expend the circumference of the circle and use disinfectant wipes regularly.


How does the virus spread and how long does it stay on surfaces? : The virus can now spread from human-to-human, but only with close contact. It can remain on surfaces for a few hours.

What a hysterical overreaction. Worldwide just over 8000 cases ,170 dead, that is 2%.

SARS death rate was about 10%

Corona is spreading faster than SARS but much less deadly, it will run its course as all these viruses do.
Ebola didn't wipe out half the worlds population either

Correct Whale.
Its now just hype.

Do I believe Wuhan created this in a bio lab? Yes.
Do I believe Wuhan sent out hundreds of flights globally, knowing people were infected? Yes.
Do I believe China tried to send the world a biological weapon with Coronavirus? Yes.

But one problem,,,,, it failed.

Its all now just hype.

Note the changes in wording the media use. "Cases".  Hundreds of "cases". Globally.
Not "fatalities"

Classic example, Asian guy got on a Tigerair plane from Melb to Golf Coast, with the virus, could have infected the entire plane.

1: That guy didnt die.
2: Nor did anyone else.

Point being, the strain of virus is already weak.
Within just 2 weeks, humanity beat the virus and turned it into a very weak strain, NATURALLY.

Only morons who get a vaccination for it, may turn it into a super strain.
Humanity beats things off naturally.
The weather, cold, hot, immunity, etc, we beat things off naturally.

The likes of Bill Gates are lurking, reading to Vaccinate the world, by using WHO hysteria.

But most of all, as of now, pay attention to how media use the word "cases" not "fatalities".
People are surviving it, as its already a weak strain, globally.

Humanity beat it naturally,  end of story.

Absolutely astonishing a 180 degree turnaround. Well not really it is Redemption LOL

First this 

The video shows the truth, that Wuhan, normally has many hospital beds available, thousands, and yet people are dying, or waiting in corridors.

Thousands are infected.

Wuhan has been shutdown.

The virus is far far worse than we have been told.

We are being super lazy about it here.

The speed its spreading, is absolutely extraordinary.
You dont even have to be showing symptoms to be spreading it.


Now it is all hype, make up your mind Confused

What I have never done is subscribe to a crazy conspiracy theory, with very little data available, because I like a You Tube video.
And then a few days later subscribed to another crazy conspiracy theory which says the opposite of the first one Clown

Got this from my member of parliament today. I imagine it is a fairly standard given out by all members of the government

Dear Baghdad Bob,

The Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) has caused alarm among some residents in my electorate of Higgins and I would like to take this opportunity to ensure the most up to date information is available to you.  
 
A coronavirus is a type of virus that most commonly infects animals and sometimes also infects humans. Some viruses transmit easily from person to person, while others do not. There are many different strains of coronavirus.

Currently, Australia has not seen a significant number of confirmed cases compared to other parts of the world.

Australia has well established processes in place for screening ill travellers arriving at our international air and seaports but has implemented additional measures.

Hospitals and general practices have also been provided with information regarding a possible outbreak.

In the last week, I have visited the Alfred Hospital, the closet public hospital to Higgins; and Cabrini Health, the only  emergency department in Higgins. I received an update on their preparedness for a coronavirus outbreak and I am very impressed by their readiness to help Victorians. 

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade have raised the level of travel advice for China to 'level 3 - reconsider your need to travel'.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, have also updated health traveller advice on Smartraveller to level 4 –  do not travel to all of Hubei Province.

The Department of Health is closely monitoring this situation in collaboration with the World Health Organization and the States and Territories to ensure the health care system is well prepared to respond to cases detected in Australia to minimise the risk of further disease transmission.

The Australian Government has provided some useful resources which may be helpful to you or your family and I encourage you to familiarise yourself with the symptoms of coronavirus. 

As always if there is something you think my office or I can help with please get in touch. 


Katie Allen MP 
Federal member for Higgins
