Good to see business is doing their part in combating COVID-19. My household is now getting bombarded with junk-mail telling me how supportive they are and will continue to be. I will keep these flyers for future reference.

With all the Aussies trapped OS rather than them trying to arrange a private plane why can't the government step in and use one of the many hundreds of grounded local planes or something from the military?
It would stop the possible profiteering that will happen. Whole bunch of Aussies stranded in Peru, yet the US and Mexican governments have already flown their citizens home. Nothing could be worse then the prospect of being stranded in a country for an indefinite period of time with possibly quickly diminishing funds and unstable social situation.

Pharma has zero interest in people getting healthy, fighting off illness and sickness, they profit off people being sick, that's their business model! I'll take the government seriously when they tell people to build their immune systems by eating healthy, taking vitamins and minerals, stop eating and drinking the poison in foods and water.

They have no vaccine for Covid 19 as yet but when they do it causes autism.

Donald Trump announced he's making chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine available to treat Covid-19 in the US. They're antimalarials which have had some early clinical trials done, with significant success.
You can get them here too if you can find a GP willing to prescribe them off-label. $20 for a box of 100 tablets. 1 course = 10 tablets. I wonder how our government will respond.... |

The first clinical trial on chloroquine was done in Wuhan too. Chloroquine has been around for decades so is off-patent.
Other countries are replicating the chloroquine work now, not the vitamin C AFAIK. I have both at home, but I know which one I will turn to first if I get sick. |

Not ruling out Trumps claims but there needs to a consistent approach and willingness from numerous Health departments to trial these drugs and then quickly either confirm or not confirm. Unfortunately the “not invented here and must be junk” mentality prevails amongst some of the medical fraternity. Last edited by cheap; 20-03-2020 at 12:54 PM. |

Chloroquine is not a new drug. It gets prescribed to people going to countries with malaria.
Hydroxychloroquine is a less toxic version of it (prolonged use of chloroquine has side effects; fewer issues with hydroxychloroquine). Trial paper here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/186B...IlWSHnGbj/view Works especially well in combo with azithromycin (antibiotic) |

I have work in Sydney next week- booked an apartment in Sydney CBD with balcony, called a skyview apartment or whatever situated above level 25, separate bedroom, lounge etc.
$135 per night, I loaded on another night for ****s and giggles after the hearing-one benefit of Covid 19- cheap accommodation!!!! After I have done the work stuff next week I will be buggered- I plan to sit on the balcony and drink a bottle of red and view the sci fi covid 19 scene down below....

During the bushfire crisis, we had so many queries from gringos, from Canadians, even from the local Ticos, regarding if the fires were affecting our families and friends back home, and wishing us luck... Genuine sentiments too.
Now, it’s “Hey Charlie, how ya off for toilet paper? You Aussies are feckin nuts” Both examples from typical sensationalist media of course! To an extent, they are correct though... Australia HAS gone nuts

Current numbers for Australia: 876 positive cases, 7 deaths, 46 total recovered.
But those numbers are very much false! With the way we are limiting the testing, the real number of positive cases would be closer to 3 times that! |

So, 876x3=2268 pos cases with 7 deaths, that would make the fatality rate of only 0.38%.

Rather be there than here. Hopefully it won't be too long before I drop a hook off your shores in my little sailing adventures.

Hopefully it won't continue to increase at the current rate though, it could mean 1-2million cases by the end of April. The big question is, how long before the country is put in to lockdown? We are fast approaching the number of cases that caused other countries and now, some US states to be shutdown.

A serious question, and I don't know the answer, and I doubt anyone could even answer this question..., but, have there been any deaths from Covid that have not been officially recorded? Could there be deaths from Covid that have been missed because the deceased have not/were not tested (either before or after death), and therefore were not officially on the positive list? Has everyone over the age of 70 who have passed away in the last couple of weeks, from Covid like symptoms been tested for Covid? |

I had a smoko on Newcastle beach today for 15 minutes and was shocked at how many people were on the beach and in the water within .5 metres of one another. Message not sinking in.
In Sydney next week I will be forced to work with 3 people within .5 metres of me for 4 days from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm... 🙄

Here's a another question. How many of the 7 that have passed would have been in a much better situation if they had of caught the regular flu?

but given that the mean time to die is about 2 weeks (I heard this somewhere - so probably wrong) Then the 7 deaths should be compared to total cases 2 weeks ago - what % is that ? |
