This article has details on the legal issues, & legal actions, that nation states can take against China for its covid-19 lies & cover-ups (concerning damages claims over China's culpability for covid-19).
The claims will be in many trillions of $.
"No one expects that China will fulfill its (payment of damages- my words) obligations...States could resort (legally, but not by military action- my words) to self help. The law of state responsibility permits injured states to take lawful counter measures against China by suspending their own compliance with obligations owed to China...".
States could refuse to pay any monies/goods in kind etc. owed to China- and/or ban it from International Organisations.

This is really worrying

China does not know extent of its outbreak, CIA tells White House
The CIA has been warning the White House since at least early February that China has vastly understated its coronavirus infections.

I have no idea... yet you are talking about completely unrelated topics, the food will be thrown out regardless it is not going to shops.
The shops only get in what they need they can't just pivot and bring in massive amounts of random garbage food.

If the numbers hold in a place like Tasmania, there is no reason why the clubs could not get special permission to enter the State, observe 14 day quarantine procedures, then resume games in empty stadiums. 800 listed players plus associated staff are a fair few but I am sure there would be hotels and accommodation that could take care of them.
It will all depend on how the numbers are tracking and if/when States start relaxing restrictions.
I think the discussion needs to be had regarding the mental health of sports fans.
For some, their lives are concentrated on sport full-time. They literally live and breath every minute of sport they see. This current situation is going to have a dramatic affect on their lives.

Exactly right, which is why I don’t think it’s an unrealistic target at this stage. Clearly if by mid May things have turned for the worst again, the date will be revised. This at least gives the clubs a tentative target for a restart so players can be trained up accordingly.

Unders on deaths 28 vs 20 but pretty accurate on current infections.
Nope. You have no idea.
It's not "garbage" food. In many instances it's better than the actual delivered food. People are picky on aesthetics.
Also a full trolley of food should last your for one or two months if you no how to preserve food and not waste.
People like you are the problem, overt selfish consumers with none little understanding of manufacturing or agriculture, you're the worst problem.
Have a look at video below at one stage they talk about filling up your trolley end making less trips. There is no food shortage issue. There is a pandemic issue.

If not having live sport on TV has a 'dramatic effect' on your life then you honestly have bigger issues to deal with.
Its probably the greatest slap in the face to tassie if they are also denied their own team

Numbers have looked pretty good for the last week. Linear growth. And over the last 24hrs our number of active cases has barely gone up. They're small signs but they give hope that *something* is working. I would like to see our test numbers compared to other countries at the same point though.

We've tested more of our population than any other country.

That's decent of them
Shenzhen becomes first Chinese city to ban eating cats and dogs
The ruling is a tougher version of China's ban of wildlife meat, after it was linked to the virus.

On a per capita basis we are behind Iceland and maybe some others, and some speculate that it's number of tests and not number of people (many are tested multiple times), but yes we are definitely not lagging behind when it comes to testing.
I prefer not to buy into doom and gloom scenarios which many are peddling when the numbers we see every day are improving.

ABC were claiming we're the only country to test 1% of our population last night.
Admittedly I only had it in the background.

Iceland has tested more than 5% of its population but they are only 350,000 people.
Might be for countries larger than 1 million in population or something.

Yep agreed and that's not diminishing the mental health side which is very serious. I am fine, building a veggie garden
The number in ICU is the only stat that really matters, because we aren't/can't test everyone. If we go another fortnight with no massive increase then I'm confident we will already have beaten the peak.
