Coronavirus

[ol' boy]

Better check out the share price of Gilead Sciences (GILD), the makers of Remdesivir

There were on it early

[ol' boy]

It is going to be interesting now for the 100's of thousands of people that do Visa runs
Or people now being stuck in a country because they have over stayed

Or the massive yachting community that travel the world, now being locked out of ports

I see some shops now have security at the doors and you MUST have a mask on to enter.

Speaking of something we all touch..... Fuel Bowsers ???

Thanks Godzilla Nice tip.... All though, I hear on the news that everyone claims to have a vaccine even us Aussies..

Israel, China, US, Canada and even Italy are trying new drugs on Really Really sick people.

Nearly all the 1st world countries are claiming they have a vaccine.. Whoever comes up with the cure will be a Trillionaire, due to Everyone needing a flu shot ever year.

Stories floating around say it has to do with our Blood type ?? Some blood types are more susceptible than others.. /could be media BS dunno

No, that's correct -- your blood type matters. That HepC I had for 30years that was so hard to find a cure for? For the most part, that particular genome/strain was only found in people with AB- blood type ; folks with more common blood types responded to standard hepatitis treatment protocols as they had the more common genome/strain of the virus.

So when is China going to be held accountable for not alerting the world earlier and trying to cover it up ?
I guess there is a small chance it could have be isolated to that area, but not likely

Still, the trying to silence doctors and sweep it under the rug is very irresponsible

[Uncle Fester]

From what I have normally seen, that's a lot more planes than usual for that time. Looks to me like the airline industry is doing real bloody well!

4 planes coming in right now from LAX alone, another 3 From Singapore. Several each from Kulalumpur, hong kong, canada, NZ and Ximen and Shanghai... and they are NOT cargo's!

Fking joke there are any passenger planes coming in at all especially from China let alone the rest of asia!!

These are Australian residents who are panicking to come home and have rebooked their flights so they can manage that before our Airlines shut down all overseas flights end of this month.

[Uncle Fester]

On the topic of vaccines, everybody is trialling medicines to find out IF they work. Nobody has one yet and it will take 6-12 months before tests confirm that they are safe, even if there might be individual promising results soon.
Finding an existing treatment that has already been approved for other Virus types, like Godzilla mentioned is a different story but that is not a vaccine.

Yep they did try and cover it up and false report.

over the last few weeks have been watching and noticing another single nation
seeming to do the same .

HMMM who could it be


THE USA

It has been reported that 80% of our cases have come from overseas and most
from the usa and that is the same report from Euro countries. But they said they had frk all
ill patients .

South Korea, population 51 million, tests nearly 20,000 people per day.
The United States, population 327 million, has tested roughly 11,000 people TOTAL

piss weak

Dose a dust mask count? i don't have surgical masks.
This is getting crazier by the moment.

Don't even get me started on Australia

As an island nation, we were in a great situation to isolate
I wonder when some of these Politicians start losing family members, parents etc if they might have thought more could have been done?

yep hindsight is a bitch they say ol-boy

The US is all talk. If it's not involved with a military intervention, it's institutions are a mess.

Consider the Hurricane Katrina double disaster. First the hurricane itself and then the pathetic inadequate response.

Nah Tiny.... that will only stop dust and not a virus... You'll need a P2/N95 face mask.. That's what I've been told.

[lsemmens]

I've got one of these. does this count?

[Johnno]

I see nothinggggg…. too many Corona Parties ???

attachment not working for me.. i don't know why, best to do a google on P2/N95 face masks

[Uncle Fester]

I don't see the image either but maybe something more in line with this might be acceptable in the future:

[ol' boy]

Just visited 2 Metro supermarkets
ALDI and Coles...

ALDI had security roaming the check out area
Coles business as usual

So many people touching products, then the checkout girl touches them, then you touch them again....

No one really cares

Shops all had Toilet Roll this morning
None now

yep everyone is hysterical but then dont think ohh hang on
maybe i should refrain from doing this or that.some of the things i have
heard ppl saying is making me run to the bathroom before
i piss myself laughing.

I did read that in nsw we have 75 new cases so the numbers are going up and up
similar to europe percentages today 11% on yesterday

[wotnot]

I wish to contract this virus NOW ~ we need at least one member to report what it's like, first hand ; I'll be bitterly disappointed if nobody in the forum catches it, as we won't have any accurate data!

[ol' boy]

It's a great social experiment isn't it
From Perceived Risk to Actual Rick
From Precautionary Measures to Reactive measures...

Very hard for people to be worried about something they can't see, hear or smell.

It all looks like the same out there, same as last week, last month, last year....

I presume it's not until you see scenes like in Italy, that you reconsider your actions
