So its ISN'T a tabloid hype affair to distract from the the climate hoax having failed to gain traction?

I may have no scientific training, but when I saw that Chinese government had employed a full lockdown on Wuhan and then Hubei, my political experience told me this was the real deal.

No, I checked with Sean Hannity. It is definitely a hoax invented purely to make Donald Trump look bad.

NZ too...

Travellers' self-isolation: Warning tens of thousands of tourism jobs in jeopardy

The tourism industry is in shock and predicting widespread job losses over the government's announcement that virtually all travellers arriving in NZ from tonight will need to self-isolate.

That’s the opposite isn’t it?

They should be making a call on it now tbh.

From inside an AFL club this morning, along with inside info from SANFL.

AFL teams fully expecting season to go ahead. SANFL, waiting on direction from AFL. Why, because they are all under the same insurance banner. The issue isn’t so much the players getting sick but the support staff. There are plenty of elderly support staff, especially in the SANFL.

That said, everyone at SANFL level is being thermo monitored at trainings.

hilarious .... and informative

It is, but it shows how tourist companies are growing increasingly desperate, so your article comes as no surprise.

Totally, until it wasn't.

We are very lucky that we live in Australia in this regard and that the Coalition hasn't been completely bought by medical interest as it has the coal lobby.

It is actually fascinating to see how they are reacting compared to the fires.

They are listening to the experts here, they are doing by and large the right thing, as they should.

As opposed to the fires when Morrison's key advisers - all ex Minerals Councils staffers - stuffed it up.

The US political system is bought by the insurance industry, hence the massive **** up we see now.

Shit happens.

They'll bounce back in 3-4 months.

Government should introduce short term policy to assist vulnerable industries (tax relief).

It’s always been that type of industry.

 

[Del191229]

I'm not sure the recovery will be as quick and things get back to normal as many expect.

Especially when the shit hits the fan in the US.

Right now two of the G8 economies are in complete lockdown - Italy and France.

That doesn't just go away, especially if they miss high tourist season.

Tef, after reading your informative information, I too am prepared to take action to safeguard

So, this morning, I will ensure I will have sufficient supplies of beer and spirits should quarantine be enacted and fully endorse my brothers and sisters on here to also stockpile while able

serious note though, thank you for actually providing facts rather than the shit sprouted by other media (CH7 looking at you)

Yep the generator I have probably won't run the heating (fan), lights, and internet, tele as well as the big fridge/freezer, but it will run the beer fridge and tele etc. Meat and shit will spoil but the beer will be cold- priorities peeps.

He's accurate now, if you were listening to him a few weeks ago it was media hysteria designed to cover up the climate change hoax losing traction.

Mate, in these times it’s about priorities,forget your significant others and supplies, keep calm and keep beer cold

I’ll admit, I thought it was little more than a flu epidemic that was overblown by the media, I was wrong

A lot of people did. This is where having an understanding of politics is quite useful.

The Chinese do not put a city the size of Wuhan (11m people) let alone a region like Hubei under 100 per cent lockdown over a mere flu.

The implications are enormous.

Similarly when news broke it was in Iran and crucially Qom, I knew it was going global. Iran has been under sanctions for so long that it's health system has no chance of coping.

And Qom is a Holy City in Shia Islam and has a continuous stream of pilgrims coming from across the Middle East and Central Asia, all in very tight confines etc.

As soon as it was there, it meant it was across that whole region, which meant it was going hard into Europe and Africa.

Two continent with community transmission - pandemic.

 

[Del191229]

This is very good.

No doubt it wont but a couple of jerry cans , means I don't care if it does.lol

 

[Del191229]

And this



Companies are so leveraged because they've spent the last ten years of cheap money borrowing to buy shares and pay dividends there's no wriggle room now.

It isn't just going to spring back to normal in a few months.

Thank you for making it so simple

No probs.

Though that's about where my contribution ends - I have no idea on the hard science stuff.

 

[Del191229]

Italy and France are both heavy smoking countries, this won't help them.

Thought i would make an early morning trip to the nearby, large Coles supermarket for a spot of "panic buying", now I was not after toilet paper or tissues etc, but fmd, no sugar, no eggs, no pasta, almost no bread, I got 2 packs each of party pies and sausage rolls, and a 5kg bag of spuds and back home again.
