Lol sorry, I misread it as only your hubby had the lingering cough. Hopefully everything is settling, otherwise worth doing a checkup.

None of the CCP, WHO or Trump has come out of this looking good. It's obvious that the CCP covered up the severity of the disease and silenced any doctors who tried to raise awareness. The WHO went off the advice of the CCP but completely dismissed Taiwan's warnings of human-to-human transmission. Why? The CCP refuse to acknowledge Taiwan's independence and the WHO, led by Tedros who is another corrupt African official with his hand in Xi's pocket, did the same. Heck, even after they declared a global health emergency (in late January when the horse had bolted), they discouraged travel bans.
Of course, Trump is also at fault for the situation the US is in, he played down the virus as just another flu and was way too late to take any action at all. When most of our imported cases were coming from there when they only had around 100 reported cases, I knew that they were in deep s**t. The WHO need to be held accountable but Trump is not innocent in all of this either. I'm not a fan of ScoMo, his leadership during the bushfires was diabolical, but I'll give him credit where it's due. Despite some early slip-ups (going to the rugby), he's redeemed himself and has actually done a pretty good job with this, especially when compared to what's happened (or still happening) in the US, UK, Italy, Spain, France, Turkey, Indonesia and Brazil.
AFL have said they’re confident of being able to give a definitive date of when clubs can start training and hence play games by the end of April.

Not surprised to see 20 - 29 year old copping a lot of cases. They think they are bullet proof. What they dont understand is that it can do permanent damage to their lungs. Not to mention the spreading of the disease.
Anecdotal but the worst age group for social distancing in my experience are old people. The amount of elderly groups of people I've seen walking around without a care in the world is insane. Even at the Indian place I go to, they had signs saying stand back from the counter 1.5m and the only people ignoring the signs were boomers. Don't these people realise they are the most vulnerable age group?
Current restrictions only in place for another 4 weeks, some of the heavier restrictions until September (that’s the 6 month timeframe they keep mentioning).
They want a more developed and robust testing scheme in place before any restrictions are lifted, which they think can be achieved in 4 weeks.

I went to the Post Office and Coles yesterday, I'd say I was the only person under 70
Thats what Im worried about.
Trump is just an easy target for all the stupid things he says.
China and WHO should be copping more for their cover up and deception.
Strange that old Boris from the UK seems to get a free pass from those who are quick to criticise the USA numbers, the UK's death rate per 1 million population is OVER DOUBLE that of the USA.
Wonder why he skates through for next to no criticism on this board?
We hear that Trump gets the vitriol because he constantly says stupid things and we get a lot of culture from the USA.
However Boris isn't immune to saying/doing stupid things and we get as much culture from the UK as the USA AND he has double Trumps death rate.
Yet crickets.....
Very odd.

Good grief, my mother’s house is currently on Margaret Avenue just between Balmoral Avenue and Quandong Street and was originally my grandparents house which they built in 1965. Adelaide is only 3 degrees of separation.
Agree. WHO and Xi are to blame. XI is basically a reincarnation of someone from earlier last century..

Its everywhere up here though, and they don't respect boundaries. You know those old people who will walk up to random parents and want to touch their kids.

Yep that's exactly the sort of stuff I've been seeing here. These people have a death wish.
I s**t you not, was driving in Somerton Park the other day and saw a group of old people all sitting in a circle on deck chairs in their front yard. I mean at least they were outside but they were sitting way too close together.

Its the blind leading the lame leading the corrupt. Just when the world needs proper leadership we have guys like Trump, Putin, Xi and that WHO guy running the show. I don't have any confidence or trust in any of them and doubt we've ever had a worse group of people in charge of world affairs in recent memory except for the 2 World Wars.
Good lord. How dense do you have to be to believe the nonsense about the WHO? There are posters in here who mock people from countries that don't have a free press for being "indoctrinated". And yet, despite a first-world education and a free press at their disposal, rather than taking half a friggin minute to actually research and develop conclusions based on evidence, immediately believe Donald Trump.
Here's an official press release from the WHO from back in January noting that human-to-human transmission had been observed:
The WHO made assessments based on the evidence they had at the time. By MARCH Boris Johnson was still shaking hands, and Trump still tweeting unscientific nonsense completely contrary to the WHO's advice.
Keep in mind
You would rather believe flimsy conspiracy theories than admit that a lot of governments around the world has ballsed this up big time and have completely failed to prepare (other than being very quick to ban travel from China... and then sitting on their hands for weeks with PPE/test production etc). Perhaps there were things the WHO could have done better, but this horseshit about them downplaying human-to-human transmission is such an obvious case of blame-shifting. If this were remotely true, how come some countries were able to get the message and start preparing back in mid-January?
The commitment to remaining as loudly ignorant as possible is absolutely stunning. I suppose I should expect nothing less from people who, earlier this year, refused to even consider the possibility that perhaps Scomo's response to the bushfires was less than adequate.
We absolutely live in a post-truth society and it's terrifying.

Ive always found it a bit misleading. It's actually no new cases YESTERDAY. Most of not all samples taken today won't make the run
Fort Detrick in the USA was shut down last August over safety concerns whilst there was a large number of pneumonia / flu cases around the area.Coronavirus did not jump from Wuhan's seafood market: Here's the evidence | World – Gulf News

There may also have been an accidental spread from the lab in Wuhan as well.
