New virus from shithole China

[billy the kid]

In comparison to some penalties for traffic offences etc the $220 is a bit petty...
Maybe the grubberment is having pity on overseas travellers...who knows...
Personally I think it should be doubled....and a second offence...refused entry...make friends with the door dickhead.....

Unfortunately I think a lot are Australian citizens of Asian decent!

FFS they dont realise we are in a country with no swine flu or other imported diseases from overseas !

We need massively increased fines for them!

The programmes I have seen (Border Patrol) seem to highlight the blatant disregard for the rules and regulations.
The asians seem to think that if they act dumb, everything will be ok.
They sign a declaration that they are not bringing prohibited goods/food into the country and seem
to simply shrug their shoulders when caught.
Likewise, the programmes which highlight Police arresting/fining traffic offenders also highlight the stupidity
of the offenders...we never see an unlicensed driver wearing a suit for example..nor do we see a drink driver
from a white collar occupation..the offenders are all fkn morons....not a brain between them....
But I digress....
Im beginning to think that the law enforcement officers are just baby sitters and the offenders
are just plain fkn stupid......

Have you ever watched that Australian customs border security show?

It is always bloody Asians trying to bring in illegal foodstuff like pork, plants etc and not declaring it.

This is a major threat to our biosecurity !

I am amazed they dont deport more of them!

I've seen it - they get off with a $220 fine when they bring in filthy rotten food covered in maggots and other insects.
It's wrong - they should be put in jail for 10 years.

No. Second offence and they aren't allowed admittance again.

First offence - 10 years in jail with hard labor and a diet of only bread and water.

We don't need brain dead people coming here.

Why not, Bobby? They'd fit in with so many who vote Tory it seems.

Don't change the topic -
is $220 a large enough punishment for bringing disease and pestilence here?

From an overseas visitor perspective it appears quite large, Bobby.

Now, answer the question!

Coronavirus fears see Malaysian student evicted from Perth share house by landlord

After remaining relatively mum on the coronavirus thus far, Donald Trump told supporters at a rally in New Hampshire Monday night that the virus will be gone by April, claiming that when temperatures rise, “the virus” will “miraculously” go away.

As the number of COVID-19 cases jumps dramatically in China, a top infectious-disease scientist warns that things could get far worse: two-thirds of the world's population could catch it.

So says Ira Longini, a World Health Organisation adviser who tracked studies of the virus's transmissibility in China. His estimate implies that there could eventually be billions more infections than the current official tally of about 60,000.

If the virus spreads to anywhere near that extent, it will show the limitations of China's strict containment measures, including quarantining areas inhabited by tens of millions of people. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has credited those steps with giving the rest of China and the world a "window" in which to prepare.

Quarantines may slow the spread, but the virus had the opportunity to roam in China and beyond before they went into effect, Longini said. The country boosted its count of those infected by almost 15,000 on Thursday after widening the diagnosis methods.

Neil Ferguson, a researcher at Imperial College London, estimated that as many as 50,000 people may be infected each day in China.
