Well that is a relief. A spectre of the Australia Card averted.

Lengthy read....21 million cell phone cancellations in China raises the eyebrows...
Obviously, we will never know just how many people have died in China.....

I saw this morning that just before Wuhan was shut down people fled the city. They didn't go to Beijing or other Chinese cities they went to USA, Australia, UK etc. They were not allowed to fly internally in China but they were allowed to fly internationally en masse.

There is talk that seeing the destruction on their own home soil the CCP wanted to level the playing field by spreading it to the world.

Malicious intent?

Can't prove it, but it sure looks that way. Enough that I'll try very hard to not buy goods made in China.

Same here. Sometimes I get lax and don't check especially when buying a good brand that is known for quality. In future I will be more diligent.

My son just paid over $500 for a quilt cover by Sheridan (crazy!). They have always been a well respected brand but when he took it off for the first time to wash one of the clip thingys came off and tore a hole in the fabric. Made in CHINA!

I would love to be that noble, but there are certain products made in CHI-na that improve the quality of my life at a price that i feel represents good value , But having said that, I am now acutely aware of their bullshit and will certainly look local where possible,,

Plastic clips? I thought they used buttons.

But, seriously folks, if you want to do the right thing, buy the material and have it made by a professional.
Or, buy Australian cotton or linen and have that turned into bed linen, by a professional.

It is more personal, more creative and you end up with an original piece of bedding.

Yes plastic clips and I don't control what he buys nor would I try to. I was appalled though.

At least 300,000 Africans expected to die with 29 million impoverished by pandemic, UN agency says

Things will get better Bobby

They are already -
with only 1 case out of 2700 tests in Victoria -
it's the best news I've heard in ages.
We've won the war but our economy is in trouble.

If AU and NZ become virus free, we can become a very expensive holiday destination for the ultra rich.
Overseas visitors can jet in and go to a private villa with pool, gym etc then after 2 weeks they're free.

Sure - 2 weeks quarantine in pure luxury - it's a great business model.

[Bobby]

The WHO is part of the UN and is responsible for the outbreak.

The WHO had the power to go to the UN and demand
that actions it felt necessary were implemented
or that investigations were put in motion.
All it needed was a vote in the UN.

China needs to be inspected -
an investigation must happen but the UN hasn't even mentioned it.

The WHO deserves nothing, zero.
They are lucky that everyone in it isn't being hanged after 152,000 unnecessary deaths.

Never going to happen, Bobby. You really do like making yourself look ridiculous, don't you?

An investigation must happen.

I don't control my son either, but I do remind him that his decisions have moral consequences.

Aside from that, he should get a refund and in the future, only opt for button closures.
