New virus from shithole China

I read that and it's disgraceful. They said on the news he is the father of some tv 'star'. I think it was him they were talking about lol

On a side note, I have a friend who contracted it in Italy and has been in quarantine for the past 13 days and is now out. He said it was really mild and nothing to worry about and not nearly as bad as the yearly flu.

Yes - it is disgraceful that a doctor could be so careless.
If someone dies then it raises legal questions.

Yes - for most people the virus will be very mild however for some
they will be in critical condition is as little as 6 days and require intensive care to survive.
Even that is sometimes not enough and
is why there are now over 3,000 deaths.

Do you know how many people die from influenza each year worldwide? Up to 646,000.

Seasonal flu kills 291,000 to 646,000 people worldwide each year, according to a new estimate that's higher than the previous one of 250,000 to 500,000 deaths a year.

The new figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other groups were published Dec. 13 in The Lancet medical journal.

3,000 Australians die from the flu every year so there's really not much to panic about. Susceptible people will succumb to any illness.

It is estimated that each year influenza causes an average of 13,500 hospitalisations and more than 3,000 deaths among Australians aged over 50 years, which suggests more than double the number of deaths from motor vehicle accidents can be attributed to complications from influenza.

I told my wife about the TP rioting in Australia and she went and bought a megapack.

It's definitely been a riot. People fighting and police tasering others. Your wife is wise.

Minor scuffle more like.

You had a minor scuffle in Podunk? Tsk tsk!

Here's a thought. If you don't know what you are talking about ... don't talk.

In Podunk we know how to behave ourselves, Black Orchid. You Easterners are lunatics getting upset about how much dunny paper you need.

Obviously not enough diversity in Podunk. It's the Chinese who are causing most of the trouble. Take your fair share of them and see how you fare.

Cats and dogs have reportedly been thrown from tower blocks in China after a rumour circulated claiming that the animals spread the coronavirus.

One dog was found dead after allegedly being thrown from a tower block in the Heyuan Guohe Garden area of Tianjin City in China's Hebei Province.

Reports also state five cats were thrown to their deaths in the city of Shanghai, with locals believing they were pets as they had smooth and clean fur. Their owner has not been identified.

Despicable people. They disgust me. There's pictures of the poor dead animals in the second link after they got hurled out the windows.

Don't tell too many people -
if you have a truckload of toilet rolls you'll be a target for armed looters.

Once the Negros find out you'll be easy prey for a home invasion.

Imagine throwing your pet out the window of a high rise building though? These people are messed up.

The Olympic Games will be cancelled and every nation will have to close its borders...
The first two rounds of the MotoGP have been cancelled and if Ferrari cant attend the F1 in Melbourne next weekend, they will
have to cancel that too....
AND yet Scumo allows Australian Universities to bribe 100,000 Chinese students to return to Australia for their
studies.....each one of them a potential carrier of COVID -19.....

Now is not the time to joke about raining cats and dogs. I guess you'll mention stepping in a poodle next?

They canceled the SXSW music festival in Austin.

I think it's going to get out. It's just a matter of time. Hopefully, the coming warm weather will keep it at bay for a few months until we can come up with a plan. Timing sucks for you in SA with Winter coming in a couple of months. I hope it's not too bad.

I think they were very lucky to get the SuperBikes run at Phillip Island (near Melbourne) last weekend.
