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.

China has never been forthcoming about the severity of anything & the fact it's contagious during the 14 day incubation period is more than scary.

I dont understand why they are still allowing plane loads from China into the country .  Flights should be suspended until tighter security screening can be carried out.  The way they are going about it now is too blaise for mine.

Maybe they are just too scared to offend, upset, or in any way perturb that particular country?

Australian scientific researcher on the weekend said that they had been tasked with coming up with a vaccine in a month, something he was confident with achieving. This virus is a mutation of SARS and MYRS so they have a head start.

Warning: This was from a scientist, not from Bolta or Daisy, so probably take with a grain of salt.

Lets all take the vaccine, turn up to a Doomsday Climate Change Cult protest, and start coughing.
That will make their extinction faster.

Note, never before in history has there been so many flu shots given in Australia, yet the highest recorded number of flu cases in our history. Mmmmmm???

Whale and PT, when are you going to stop copying and pasting bloody dumb mainstream links.
Do you even chat to real medical people, scientists?

Bill Gates is lurking with his vaccines. Wuhan started a biological weapon, in a lab. Bit of a coincidence the bloody lab was there where they were dealing with this very virus months ago.
It got out, now its spreading very very fast.

But as per usual Whale, you are hiding behind your Gods,  Yoda?, Snow White? a singing cactus?
Who knows, but enjoy the bullsh#t vaccine they bring out on mass.

2020 marked the year Bill Gates decided to start his dream of a planet for one billion people.

Nah, conspiracy. People dont do bad things. Never Whale. Never.
Bad people dont exist in your heavenly atheist world. You are more religious than anyone.

And you hate religion. I didnt know you hated Islam and Judaism. Anti-Semite Whale??

Hmm, I wonder where she got that from.LOL


"There have been a total of 310,011 laboratory confirmed notifications of Influenza in Australia for 2019, at the start of 17 December.

Please note that many people do not get tested for influenza and that there may also be some delays in reporting confirmed influenza cases.

Therefore data presented here may be underestimating influenza activity.


Community influenza related activity started and peaked earlier in 2019 than in recent seasons, but remained at a low level overall. 

Severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) hospitalisation rates also increased earlier than in recent years, with similar levels of SARI hospitalisation to other recent years.


The severity of illness as measured by the ratio of influenza associated intensive care unit (ICU) admissions compared with influenza associated hospitalisations was low, which is similar to other influenza A(H3N2) predominant years. 

The 2019 publically funded influenza vaccines available in New Zealand were a good match for the circulating strains. There was a genetic mutation in the influenza B/Victoria virus circulating during the season. However, this change had no discernible impact on vaccine effectiveness."

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
https://www.news.com.au/" rel="nofollow - news.com.au January 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

How does the virus spread and how long does it stay on surfaces?

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

SARS death rate was about 10%

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.

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 https://katieallen.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9210872f52fe37e5891de5dd6&id=a61c6d6fdc&e=51871180de" rel="nofollow - 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 https://katieallen.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9210872f52fe37e5891de5dd6&id=e2a7c1480a&e=51871180de" rel="nofollow - resources which may be helpful to you or your family and I encourage you to familiarise yourself with the symptoms of coronavirus.

This comes after news broke this morning that Australian scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in the fight against the Coronavirus by manufacturing the virus in a lab – which is a huge step towards developing a vaccine.

However, that global breakthrough has not been received well in the Northern Rivers of NSW or the Northern Shivers as it is also known.

“Here we go again, #notmychild #not my baby,” said the wife of a fringe NRL player for the Gold Coast Titans.

“People are so concerned about the Coronavirus that they are willing to risk their lives letting the government and big pharma develop another deadly vaccine,” she said whilst sipping her cold-pressed arrowroot, carrot and turmeric juice.

“I refuse, they can bully us all they want, but I will not let my children be subjected to governments sanctioned programs like lab rats in a cage.”

The angry mother of Aldous and Petunia then told us that she just can’t believe how the people of this country just roll over and submit.

“5-G, chemtrails, fluoride in the water, the light rail burning and now this latest vaccine, when will people wake up.”

So tell us Whale, if someone provides an opinion, a thought, a theory, then changes their mind on the matter/subject, is that a bad thing or good thing?

Redemption, you do realize who issued the above?The Betoota Advocate for goodness sake, and they're simply taking the p1ss to ease some understandable tensions.

For something authoritative, try the Chief Scientist and similar.

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?
https://twitter.com/DrJohnTorres" rel="nofollow - @DrJohnTorres
: The virus can now spread from human-to-human, but only with close contact. It can remain on surfaces for a few hours.

So you have already adopted those protocols then PT ... very wise.Clap

heres what I think Whale,

It was a deadly virus for 2 weeks, now its a pathetic weak bug.
Humans beat it off.

The whole thing is now hype.
It started serious, but its not anymore.

People arent dying from it.
Very short lived virus.

Would rather focus on heart disease. It kills half the planet. Ban junk food not flights.  :)

Between an actual crisis of their own making, the bushfires and a fake crisis of their own making, Coronavirus, they will be arguing their is now an out for them with their fake budget surplus.

Also a deflection from their bushfire and hopeless leadership woes.

the main deaths from the coronavirus have been elderly, or so China reports. Of course, the real statistics are yet to be revealed. 

 I asked a chemist, the other day, for a P2 mask, since I've just come out of hospital after a serious operation and am very vulnerable to infection. He pooh-poohed the seriousness of the situation and told me everyone was panicking unnecessarily. That's fine for him to say...perhaps it is over-hyped...but I asked for the mask now because it's going to be more difficult to obtain them if it spreads. I'm not an alarmist, but I can't afford to even get a cold, with my present condition (a sliced neck and freshly-fused vertebrae). He gave me a simple mask for free, but I'm cranky that someone like him can make decisions on others' health issues.

 I pity Chinatown and Paddy's markets. They will suffer economically with this.

pt, why do the Chinese feel the need to build 2 1000 bed hospitals specifically for this virus?
Is this worse than they are letting on?
Are they still that 3rd world country, yet the elite can have their lobster and racehorses?
Or are they showing off, what they can do without red tape and unions?

Possible reasons for the cause of the coronavirus....
Climate change...
The GFC...
Coal mining...
Brexit....
Donald Trump...
Or all of the above ,then again let’s what they come up with at the annual conference at Melbourne University of Marxism later this year.

I wasn't differing from you, just saying that people like you and me get notice to take action when required. Last year they asked me to come in earlier for my annual flu shot because of an anticipated worse flu season.

The fact that there has been no notification to do anything different suggests that those that take these thing seriously dont read Murdoch media or take their cues from them.

These outbreaks of infections , with resistance to traditional drug treatments , are not to be taken lightly.

I've always had a fixed idea that nature provides , and something will raise it's ugly head to balance over population.

FWIW, my dad's a doctor and I joked with him last night about the masks people are wearing, and he said they are good because they can keep the sneezes and coughs IN to those wearing the masks. A different perspective.
