Good on you Hoj, nothing like a bit of CLlNT to make me feel better!

It's important not to blame China. Anything that isn't positive = racism

A study published in March indicated that if Chinese authorities had acted three weeks earlier than they did, the number of coronavirus cases could have been reduced by 95% and its geographic spread limited.

This timeline, compiled from information reported by the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the South China Morning Post and other sources, shows that China's cover-up and the delay in serious measures to contain the virus lasted about three weeks.

Dec. 10: Wei Guixian, one of the earliest known coronavirus patients, starts feeling ill.

Dec. 16: Patient admitted to Wuhan Central Hospital with infection in both lungs but resistant to anti-flu drugs. Staff later learned he worked at a wildlife market connected to the outbreak.

Dec. 27: Wuhan health officials are told that a new coronavirus is causing the illness.

Dec. 30:

• Ai Fen, a top director at Wuhan Central Hospital, posts information on WeChat about the new virus. She was reprimanded for doing so and told not to spread information about it.
• Wuhan doctor Li Wenliang also shares information on WeChat about the new SARS-like virus. He is called in for questioning shortly afterward.
• Wuhan health commission notifies hospitals of a “pneumonia of unclear cause” and orders them to report any related information.

Dec. 31:

• Wuhan health officials confirm 27 cases of illness and close a market they think is related to the virus' spread.
• China tells the World Health Organization’s China office about the cases of an unknown illness.

Jan. 1: Wuhan Public Security Bureau brings in for questioning eight doctors who had posted information about the illness on WeChat.

• An official at the Hubei Provincial Health Commission orders labs, which had already determined that the novel virus was similar to SARS, to stop testing samples and to destroy existing samples.

Jan. 2: Chinese researchers map the new coronavirus' complete genetic information. This information is not made public until Jan. 9.

Jan. 7: Xi Jinping becomes involved in the response.

Jan. 9: China announces it has mapped the coronavirus genome.

Jan. 11–17: Important prescheduled CCP meeting held in Wuhan. During that time, the Wuhan Health Commission insists there are no new cases.

Jan. 13: First coronavirus case reported in Thailand, the first known case outside China.

Jan. 14: WHO announces Chinese authorities have seen "no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus."

Jan. 15: The patient who becomes the first confirmed U.S. case leaves Wuhan and arrives in the U.S., carrying the coronavirus.

Jan. 18:

• The Wuhan Health Commission announces four new cases.
• Annual Wuhan Lunar New Year banquet. Tens of thousands of people gathered for a potluck.

Jan. 19: Beijing sends epidemiologists to Wuhan.

Jan. 20:

• The first case announced in South Korea.
• Zhong Nanshan, a top Chinese doctor who is helping to coordinate the coronavirus response, announces the virus can be passed between people.

Jan. 21:

• The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirms the first coronavirus case in the United States.
• CCP flagship newspaper People’s Daily mentions the coronavirus epidemic and Xi's actions to fight it for the first time.
• China's top political commission in charge of law and order warns that “anyone who deliberately delays and hides the reporting of [virus] cases out of his or her own self-interest will be nailed on the pillar of shame for eternity."

Jan. 23: Wuhan and three other cities are put on lockdown. Right around this time, approximately 5 million people leave the city without being screened for the illness.

Jan. 24–30: China celebrates the Lunar New Year holiday. Hundreds of millions of people are in transit around the country as they visit relatives.

Jan. 24: China extends the lockdown to cover 36 million people and starts to rapidly build a new hospital in Wuhan. From this point, very strict measures continue to be implemented around the country for the rest of the epidemic.

Effect of non-pharmaceutical interventions for containing the COVID-19 outbreak in China

Background The COVID-19 outbreak containment strategies in China based on non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) appear to be effective. Quantitative research is still needed however to assess the efficacy of different candidate NPIs and their timings to guide ongoing and future responses to...

Politicians/bureaucrats are the coronavirus of science.

I can't recommend this video highly enough.



Forget all the woo woo bullshit you see in the media, this is a proper immunologist explanation of this virus.

If you are confused by some of the terminology, pause the video, ask a question, or look it up. Then when you come to terms with the concepts of the terminology, watch the thing all over again. It's the best clip on Covid19 that I have seen on the internet.

This is in the media.

Politicians/bureaucrats are the coronavirus of science.

They pay scientist's wages, fund them, keep them in house and home.

Show some gratitude.

100%

Videos and news still leaked out but it's harder when they use different forms of communication (social media-wise). Imagine would it could have been like if their social credit system was in full effect. They'd have their own people suppressing the information to get better scores

You can come down on them hard (and world leaders should especially when the dust settles on this) without it being racist. All these idiots focusing on not being careful not to appear racist towards the Chinese should ask the families of those that have lost loved ones, jobs, houses etc.

Thank god for journalists too. Add them in with the politicians/bureaucrats - they are just their primary propaganda machine.

I would suggest we are moving towards a mix of endgame a and c, especially if Tasmania and the talk of partial lockdowns are any indications.

Ugh, journalists are the ACE-2 enzymes upon which the virus attaches and multiplies.

What's everyone else here doing with their mortgages. I know all the banks are doing the 3-6 month freezes + some other extras (ANZ's deal look pretty good - ANZ 2.19% Residential Home Loan Fixed 2 Years Owner Occupied + 6 Month Freeze Repayment + $4000 Refinance + 0.3% Bundle Rebate). The consensus seems to be - waiting is prob best. The ozbargain experts agree:



Now seems like a good time to capitalise on some of that $4000 refinancing bonus cheddar (minus the fee) and move things around a bit. I don't know how long this thing is going to carry on for (never know what might happen income-wise) and it'd be nice to chill on repayments for a little bit until the dust settles and then reassess afterwards.

I know we have a biggish lot of financial experts (Tas and co.) in here and so is waiting the best?

I just heard that some Brisbane Broncos have been put into quarantine. NRL season may be stuffed

Just hysteria whipped up by the media because the climate change hoax is failing.

Journalists got right, you humiliated yourself.

Is the $4k given upfront? I strongly suspect they will get it back one way or another but not in the current environment.

While I don’t wish it on anyone, shutting down the NRL isn’t a bad thing

Good question. Not much available on that other than this:

5 more doctors have died of COVID-19 in Italy, including two who came out of retirement to help
