The only numbers I'm interested in are 36.24.36If you're not mathematically minded you probably won't see the implication.
last week of january, i voted amongst the majority, in an online poll, to halt all incoming flights from china.
the final flights from china to australia were february 1st, meaning that for the last of those to enter AU, their imposed 14day quarantine has now officially ended.
reasonably swift action by our govt, not so for my household, as luck would have it, our guest managed to return from china on feb1st, but has most compliantly self isolated in his room. however, me being personally responsible for preparing all his meals, cleaning up, precautionary disinfecting of surfaces etc, i'v had minimal contact, but some, so also self isolated from the outside world for the 14day period, your welcome.
there are no signs or symptoms at mine, but the past two weeks were far from stress free.
having followed reports on the novel coronavirus fastidiously during this period, i have formed some ideation that, at the time of any earlier influx of carriers (dec/jan) the intense AU heat we were experiencing, would likely not have been conducive to survival of the virus, in particular, were it airborne or transferred to surfaces by infected persons.
with the past fortnight's weather having been pleasantly cooler, further, current information indicating incubation periods from as little as 3-24days, plus some carriers having shown to be asymptomatic, i am wondering if only14 days quarantine is realistic, and i have concern that random cases may now begin to surface here.
cheers to those who have made light during the early stages of a frightening viral situation the world is still learning about, and to the others who'v advised we should stockup. fortunately, i was reasonably well stocked up, but my dog ran out of meaty rings around 4days ago, and has eaten whatever on hand since that time :/ i can now revisit the supermarket in hope that the chinese community have not yet emptied the shelves and mailed my needs to their families in china.
We have a co worker who is self isolating; suggested she fake respiratory symptoms just to get the test but apparently if she tests negative the isolation needs to be completed anyway (concern that virus can be present but Viral load at time of test too low)Conversation at work today, most thought the employee shouldn't even have to use sick leave
It's amusing to see some woke Australians claim that this country is racist because trade in Chinatowns around the country is down.
North Korea has reported no cases of the virus, but relief groups say it is woefully unprepared to deal with an outbreak.
Why would there be an outbreak in a country where nobody crosses the border in either direction.
In answer to the first, smuggling. Cross border to bring Chinese goods (better than NK goods) with some coronavirus risks...I'm not familiar with your posts (unlike you, mine), so I can't say where exactly you lean on the political scale.
I will say, to clarify my point, that you can't have it both ways. You can't say that China aggressively manhandling their citizens for (allegedly) having a virus, proves that said virus is deadly and virulent, while, at the same time, being critical of them for being aggressive against those who practice Islam, unless you agree that Islam is just as virulent as Covid-19.
So, which is it? Is Islam just as deadly as this virus, or is Covid-19 not as deadly as many are desperate to believe (for whatever reason, maybe the same reason they want to believe the world will end in 12 years due to climate change)?
Final Point/Summary: Anyone who criticized China for taking a sledgehammer approach to Islam/Uyghurs, and yet believe the social media videos/images of Chinese citizens being violently aggressed against as proof of how deadly this virus is, well, fu** you. Try to stay consistent, idiots.
I recall discussion earlier in thread about some surface receptors on coronavirus that could be targeted by existing hiv drugs; that’s the extent of similarities that I have heardIn what way?
In answer to the first, smuggling. Cross border to bring Chinese goods (better than NK goods) with some coronavirus risks...
In answer to second; all it shows is that the Chinese government believes that the Islamic beliefs are virulent. Recall they did similar to Falun Gong too. The difference between coronavirus action and Islam action is one (coronavirus) can be more easily quantified objectively as risk.
Apologies for accidental multi quote
"self isolated from the outside world for the 14day period, your welcome"
On behalf of I suspect most, if not all. Thank you.
I am no Dr but it seems if you haven't got it in 14days you are pretty safe
I have watched a few of the earlier vids you posted.
(It seems you might speak or read Chinese?)
Did the one with the furious lady in the crematorium strike you as being "fair dinkum" ie A more realistic gauge of the extent of the problem?
What if anything can your "guest" advise about the degree of panic or extent of problem from visiting China?
PS Next time (hopefully not) but for your dogs sake, internet shopping pay credit card and ask them to home deliver and leave on front doorstep.
Did I say that they were? More giving a refutation of the point that “If you believe that China detaining coronavirus suspects good and detaining muslims bad then you are hypocrite”yawn. China declared war on starlings once or something like that. But go ahead hold them as supreme moral arbiters
That sounds fair enough to me and I don't think you're racist at all for stating the bleeding obvious that a lot of disease stems from China.I may be completely wrong about this, but (with the onset of the northern summer and the way viruses often vanish) I suspect that the COVID-19 coronavirus epidemic will be almost over by July, and there will be no cases in the year 2021. This speculation will either make me look like Nostradamus or an optimistic idiot.

I wasn't having a go at you, but I can see how my reply came off as a bit wanky.The only numbers I'm interested in are 36.24.36
Unless I'm one of them, to me there's little difference in 170 being killed by the virus or 270.
I thought the world's population was growing exponentially, but in not so many years the world's population will be declining.
Then there are implication to words like pandemic, epidemic, which I'm also not wise about.
But apart from maths and English, I'm OK.
Due to my lack of understanding of things, I'd probably agree with pessimistic and douglyzia but their comments may (or may not) entirely completely contradict one another.
Politicians love people like me to get their vote because we believe what they say in election campaigns, but really have no idea what they're talking about.
Whether or not I should be allowed to say anything or express an opinion on any subject could be a moot point.
