Coronavirus

Just received this from a global supplier in reference to a product query I lodged 2 weeks ago ;

“Unfortunately we don’t stock guard suitable within our catalog. The manufacturer purely supplies us with the switch. I’ve emailed the manufacturer asking them for the full dimensions associated with this particular model, but please be aware, due to Covid-19, a lot of the manufacturers based out in China are on virtual shutdown, meaning response times are going to be significantly longer.”

...bugger...I'm going to have to source alternative parts from somewhere else...

Must be killing ebay earnings considering almost all the sales come from there.

the supplied soaps and cleaners to antibacterial alcohol based and bleach
for all surfaces.

what a waste of time and money!!@!!!!! dont they know the difference between a virus and bacteria antibacterial cleaners have no effect on viruses , some viruses breed in anti bacterial solutions , temperature dependant of course but who ever thought of that idea is a complete fu>kwit

Alcohol....so many practical (and pleasant) uses.....such as killing viruses.

Chlorine (bleach)....well, it will kill just about anything.

Now that they're trialing a cure (that took them very little time to isolate), the fad is nearly over -- time for new news!

I think folks need to do more math ... coronavirus - roughly 90,000 confirmed cases (of that, nearly 3000 dead) ...world population ~ roughly 7,650,000,000 .... we all remember our high-school math and how to work out percentages, right? That rate of infection/death is...well, I'll let readers work it out, but here's a clue .... 0.0011___%

People were worried about this? Sigh.... I thought aussies were cleverer than this =)

Clearly, some of their maths teachers weren't.

Had this happen at a few places and their septic systems all began to fail within 6 months.

Anyone who puts Alcohol and/or Chlorine based products into their septic system probably deserves to be in the shit.

Oh, hang on.........

So listening to the ABC Radio tonight
An expert in diseases has predicted we will all get this virus at one point or the other in the next 5 years....

Basically a common cold or flu....

The virus breaks down your immune system and you become susceptible to bacterial infections, that can make you very sick and can kill, especially the elderly.

I have read that the seriously infected are treated with a cocktail of antibiotics.

Is this what they mean?

**lsemmens** · 04-03-20, 12:44 PM

It occurs to me that if the world were as concerned about catching an injury from a motor vehicle accident that they are as catching this virus, we could wipe out the road toll overnight.

Was speaking to a School Teacher in Vietnam this morning...

They have had no students all year!

Yet if you speak openly or post comments about the Country and Corona Virus, a jail term awaits you and a $10 Million dong fine.

Viet Gov claim they have 16 cases and all fully recovered... of a country of 95Million people!
That boarders China....
With the biggest Korean population outside Korea....

Ummmm ok then.

To be fair 1 million dong is about $5

**ol' boy** · 04-03-20, 01:52 PM

I wonder if the Aussie guy that self filmed and it was shown on 4 Corners is still alive or if he just disappeared?

Oh here he is:

Let's hope no one is having a Heart Attack with padlocked doors

Sorry, I meant $10 million dong... so around $650 AUD.

That's probably a fair whack to most Vietnamese

**hinekadon** · 04-03-20, 05:36 PM

I agree they treat "serious infections" with antibacterials but my point being a virus is not a bacterial infection , nothing to do with the cleanliness of the environment yeap alcohol has some real good benefits but remember the some researcher vacillates use alcohol to preserve viruses in frozen vats ?????? why

**Johnno** · 04-03-20, 06:26 PM

Time to go buy toilet paper peeps.. lol We should Not drink milk.. /no joke

kind of.

Milk can create more mucus than a person would normally and mess up your lungs. As corona goes for the lungs.

Smoking too... lol Neville wont be happy..lol

**Tiny** · 04-03-20, 08:12 PM

Well this has been predicted before.

The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 infected an estimated 500 million people, and killed between 20 million and 50 million people. Could it happen again? Dr Kristy Short says it could, and explains how.
