Germany has tested thousands of more people than any other country and so has been able to identify more serious cases and isolated the people. It also has less older people who have caught it.

What details can you provide for approx. how many Chinese citizens left Wuhan after 17.11.19 (& prior to the late Jan. lockdown) to travel to other countries- approx. when, which countries, & what nos.?
Ditto departures from the c. 60m Hubei Province (of which Wuhan is the capital)?
Ditto, details on non-Chinese citizens leaving Wuhan & Hubei after 17.11.19. to late Jan., going to other countries?
Ditto for all 3 groups after late Jan. lockdown?
I am not sure the Chinese Communist Party etc. has made this information publicly available, so embarassing it is to China.
They have said c. 5,000,000 left Wuhan/Hubei shortly before the late Jan. lockdown- but I have not seen their destinations. Or the CCP will probably lie (particularly for those who left Wuhan/ Hubei, then went to an airport in another Province outside of Hubei- to fly overseas. How would those outside CCP know this?).
Any links would be much appreciated.
Also, has China specifically addressed this issue in its media ie how has the Chinese Communist Party etc. justified this disgraceful, appalling, & very deadly, departure of its citizens etc. out of Hubei into other countries prior to their Wuhan/Hubei late Jan. lockdown; & after late Jan.?

I don't like the idea of losing clubs and hope it doesn't happen, but the bold point is bang on. Get a better concentration of talent, higher quality teams, better footy.

If you wanted higher quality teams then your club should be the first team that goes.
Italians like the Greeks, have large families that live under the same roof or associate with one another on a frequent basis (back in the home country).
This means young people are prone to catching the virus then coming home and spreading to older family members.
Italians are also affectionate people. Hugging and kissing is the norm whereas as old fashioned blokey handshakes is what we are accustom to.
I am unsure of the statistics but you would think the majority of Italians deaths are the elderly.
Say what you want but the fact we have tested so many and still finding under 2% positive cases while America is above 50% is a good sign and credit needs to be given to our government.
We have tested more people than the USA 300+ million vs 24 here
Just keep testing, keep tracing and keep quarantining.

yeah wow. I can only imagine what a couple of weeks in the ICU of a US hospital might cost
. Add in that from my friends living in the US that after 3 months of unemployment your health insurance that hopefully came with your job runs out (unless you paid extra for the 3m extension), and the numbers of homeless people I saw in the streets in Seattle and New York, it's going to get real bad over there.
i read it somewhere mate. Something like 20% of people who have caught the virus in Germany are aged over 60. In other countries, this figure is well over 50%.

Unfortunately they're going to cop criticisms far more than they will compliments.
I am not a political person by any stretch so my opinion may be less valid but I've been impressed by ScoMo and even moreso Daniel Andrews in Victoria.
My club should be the first team to go?
You do realise the difference between a club and a team right?
Luck, less Wuhan internationals, had more time to prepare, have a incredible high number of ICU beds.
Italy is one of the oldest populations in the world and all they live in multi generation family setups making it easier for them to catch it. High propensity for smoking etc. Perfect storm

I was there last year and they are also a very old population (23% over 65) who live in very close contact in the packed-in major cities and also have very high heavy smoking rates (22.8% adults smoke daily). Public transport is the major mode of transport. They greet each other, particularly the oldies, with close contact. Add in the Italian report I read that when it was first spreading in the north and they weren't testing, many doctors further south who were later shown to be positive from the now infamous '10K' bringing it back from the north, were unfortunately infecting old and sick patients as they continued to do their rounds (not their fault - they weren't to know back then). All in all a sh5t show but also gives an indication why the death rates are much lower elsewhere (aside from Spain which has a very similar profile - I was there a year earlier).

In about eight months time this will be all over and we can look forward to a Richmond vs West Coast Grand Final at the MCG in December played in front of 100k.

They also don't have big families (including the elderly/grandparents) crammed together in the same apartment buildings and units like they do in Italy and Spain.
My figures are a week old, but I thought South Korea had tested the most .
and Yes , Australia in a lowly 4th place place.
Per capita, Australia has tested double what Germany have.
4 times what the UK have.
If you ring up from Deer Park and say you think you have Corona Virus, and have no reason to think you contacted anyone with it, they may not test you. That doesn't mean that you can apply your statistic of 1 across the board.
I thought the word was mothball.
Its interesting to look at the difference in stats between Germany and France.
Similar cases per million people.

I hate how Slo-Mo is always smiling, smugly and using a condescending tone constantly.
After the bushfire fiasco he probably sees himself as a hero to the people here to redeem himself.
When asked the most important question today regarding the measures and the modeling his days yet again his taking "advice" of the medical professionals but utmost importance is not losing jobs.
He thinks he can win the virus and the economy at the same time. Fool of the highest order.
