And in the China Daily
If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!
Simples......

If one looks at the ACTIONS of the chinese as well as foreign gubbermints and businesses like the airlines, Those Numbers are pretty easy to believe.
SOMETHING must have forced them all into such rapid and serious action. Airlines don't give up a cent in revenue without a fight and gubbermints don't send in hundreds of medicos, close city's and have crews going round disinfecting streets for nothing.
Soon as the Oz gubbermint announced the Christmas Island thing I thought to myself " there is more to this than they are letting on" and that belief has only grown stronger.
This will get interesting:
My punt is that China will lift travel bans in 2 weeks cost it what it will.
Question is will Australia fall for the cover ups and let them all in, to save somebody's economy?

The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

If something like comes along, and it wouldn't surprise me if sooner or later something similar did, worldwide travel will quickly see it spread far and wide before it's even realised what's going on.
And like everything, the government will try to hide it until they no longer can.
It's been great down here....
Hardly any Chinese Tourist buses.
Normally 40 to 100 a day
And Chinese New Year here they invade the coast...
Not this year!!!
Year of the Beer.

Actually, the Chinese, themselves, are very aware of the virus. Son was in China as it hit. All new years celebrations in their village were cancelled and the village looks like a ghost town. No-one in the village or surrounds had been anywhere near the outbreak. They are back home now and still in (self) quarantine. Even getting home cost them a small fortune as their flights via Singapore were cancelled and they had to return via Hong Kong and Sydney using 3 different carriers.
My wife observed that when she was working in retail, the number of Aussies wandering around after being diagnosed with Swine Flu amazed her. The "She'll be right" attitude is typical of Aussies (of which I am one just in case you were wondering), not so in Asian countries. Even when I was in China for my son's wedding, last year, the number of people I saw walking around with face masks on was staggering. If you look around our major cities, I often seen Asians wearing a face mask for whatever reason. NEVER an Aussie or other ethnic group.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
There was a sob story on the news tonight about the overseas students not being able to get to Australia in time for the start of the university academic year. Boo hoo hoo.
Anyone who has ever suffered the hell that is doing a university 'group assignment' with Chinese students would straight away be thinking about all the local students looking forward to doing group assignments without having to carry all the couch potatoes and loafers who ride on your back at these times. I think the universities love setting group assignments with mixed local / overseas students in each group, because it means there are fewer assignments to mark and the full fee paying overseas students who are barely passing get their grades pumped up a bit through being carried by hard working locals who want to do more than just scrape through with a pass.

Bloody hell this one takes the cake:
seeFrustrated pharmacists have complained to the competition regulator after a major supplier of P2 face masks increased their wholesale price from $2.50 to $38.50 per unit, amid increased demand following the bushfires and coronavirus outbreak.
I hope the ACCC come down on them like a ton of bricks.
^ Same thing happened in Canberra @ a certain supplier during the bad smoke due to bushfires, ten times the usual mark up in decent face masks

I wondered how long it'd take before this started happening....

Now this is a worry -
seeThe US confirmed its first case of coronavirus in a patient with no exposure to the deadly virus.
The Californian patient – who had no relevant travel history and had no contact with other infected people – is believed to be the US’s first domestic case of COVID-19.
The diagnosis, confirmed by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, came just hours after President Donald Trump said the US was in “great shape” to handle a health crisis – despite increasing warnings from American health officials that the country must prepare for its own outbreak.
The US has previously had only 59 confirmed cases of coronavirus – 42 of them American citizens evacuated from the Diamond Princess cruise ship.
“At this time, the patient’s exposure is unknown,” the CDC said on Thursday (Australian time).
How did this person contact the disease? My daughter wonders if it could be spread by birds???

"You can lead a person to knowledge, but you can't make them think? If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
The information is out there; you just have to let it in."
I wonder if Corona Beer sales have taken a hit as a result. I also wonder how many idiots think that they are safe because they don't drink the stuff.
