Re: Our covid strategies are working
Have you downloaded the COVID-19 App ? But when will the COOVID-19 thing be all over ? Will Australia ever be the same again ?
What is the Govt really up to ?
CORONAVIRUS IN THE NEWS
More than 1 million people have downloaded the new COVID-19 tracing app, which aims to help health officials identify people who may have come into contact with someone with the disease.
Pressure is mounting on Victoria’s tough stance on schools, with the federal health minister saying there was no medical reason for schools to remain closed. It comes as students across the country prepare to head back to the classroom.
In a radical reform that could be a centrepiece of Victoria’s post-coronavirus economic rebuild, stamp duty could be dumped with homeowners instead paying an annual tax on their land.
Queensland and Western Australia will begin easing some restrictions from this week, while category two and some category three elective surgeries will recommence from Monday.
There are more signs of hope as COVID-19 numbers across Europe fell to the lowest levels in a month, but in a grim warning new modelling has revealed the Australian economy could take a $400 billion hit if restrictions continue for six months.
In Hibernation, find a wrap of delicious, easy-to-make slow-cooker dinners and a host of foodie podcasts to feed your inner MasterChef.
Journalist Erin Cook joins today’s Coronavirus Update podcast and looks at how Southeast Asia is dealing with the crisis, and political reporter Samantha Maiden talks about the latest from Canberra.

What is the sauce for your mysterious endless repetition numbers SC ? Or are you trying to pull the wool over Australians' eyes ?
This LINK would seem to have more credibility.
Current status
The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that COVID-19 is a pandemic.
Currently, Australia does not have widespread community transmission of COVID-19. Find out how we are managing the outbreak to slow the spread. The infographic displays data as at 3:00pm on 28 April 2020.

‘Great relief’: Queensland COVID-19 vaccine shows promise
The New Daily 6:00am, Apr 29, 2020 Updated: 2h ago
Pre-clinical results at the University of Queensland showed the coronavirus vaccine candidate worked as expected. Photo: UQ
Australian scientists are thrilled at an early vaccine trial which has stimulated a high antibody response to coronavirus – higher than in recovered patients.
The crucial breakthrough in the global race to produce a vaccine was achieved in pre-clinical tests at the University of Queensland.
UQ project co-leader Professor Paul Young said the results were an excellent indication that the vaccine worked as expected.
He said researchers were impressed with the antibody response which “was even better than those observed in samples from COVID-19 recovered patients”.
“This is what we were hoping for, and it’s a great relief for the team given the tremendous faith placed in our technology by CEPI (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovation), federal and Queensland governments and our philanthropic partners,” he said in a statement on Wednesday.
These early results also mean the vaccine, which induced a “potent protective response” was well on track.
The final results from pre-clinical tests are hoped to be ready by early June before clinical trials can start.
The milestone is considered significant because when SARS vaccines were originally being tested on animals in the lab, they showed similar immune responses which ultimately lead to protection from infection.
That’s according to Professor Kanta Subbarao of the Doherty Institute, who is working with UQ and tested the vaccine samples in the laboratory.

About 70 coronavirus vaccine developments are being undertaken around the world, including Australia where testing is underway or about to start.
On Monday, a Perth-based Linear Clinical Research announced it needed healthy adult volunteers for human trials of a Chinese-developed vaccine.
UQ was tasked by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovation to use its vaccine technology to develop a coronavirus vaccine.
It has collaborated with the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity to demonstrate and understand its immune response.
Dutch company Viroclinics Xplore is also collaborating on the vaccine tests.
Program Director Professor Trent Munro said every day was critical in the race to bring this science forward.
While there were no guarantees of success, he said the support received to date was letting the team move at an unprecedented speed.
“When you start combining clinical readiness with scale-up manufacturing, the costs quickly escalate and our primary goal here was to try and break down the financial constraints as much as we could,” Professor Munro said.

Wonder if the antivaxxers will refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine because it causes autism ?

Heavens!!! A dog has got COVID-19 in the USA!!!!
Woof Woof Croak!!!
USA records first pet infection after dog tests positive for COVID-19

A pug in North Carolina has tested positive for the coronavirus, marking the first known infection in a dog in the United States, according to US media.
The pet, named Winston, was part of a Duke University study on April 1 in which the whole household was tested for the virus, local TV channel WRAL reported.
“The virus that causes COVID-19 was detected” in the dog, Dr Chris Woods, the lead investigator of the university’s Molecular and Epidemiological Study of Suspected Infection, told the outlet, adding that he believed it was the country’s first such case.
In the household, the mother, father and son also tested positive while the daughter, another dog and a cat tested negative. The family’s pet lizard was not tested.
The pug was exhibiting mild symptoms for a few days, according to the mother, Heather McLean.
“There was one day when he didn’t want to eat his breakfast, and if you know pugs, you know they love to eat, so that seemed very unusual,” she told WRAL.
The pug joins the ranks of a Pomeranian in Hong Kong that was the world’s first dog to test positive for the virus in February.
Several cases have since been reported in pet cats and eight tigers and lions in a New York zoo.
Research suggests that dogs are susceptible to infection but appear to be less affected than ferrets or cats, according to the World Organisation for Animal Health.
“To date, there is no evidence that companion animals play a significant a role in spreading the disease,” according to the organisation’s website.
