Coronavirus - Overall
-
I was away camping over the weekend and offline so the whole panic buying thing came as a bit of a surprise. When I did go to do weekly shop yesterday there were no queues but some shelves were empty. Truly bizarre in some instances. There was no reduced cream. Have I missed something - are we expected to ride out the zombie apocalypse by relying on good old Kiwi chips and dip? Is there some magical medicinal quality to Maggi onions soup paired with reduced cream that the WHO are unaware of? Should we be sending a container load to Wuhan as a humanitarian initiative? My mind is boggled

I disbelieve anything optimistic that any government has to say about this virus – Prime Minister, health minister or health bureaucrat, from any country. Their central, dominant interest must be health protection but it clearly is not.
The World Health Organisation is utterly useless. It is run by palookas like that Rudd sheila for Pete’s sake! … who cannot even spell “honest”, let alone know what it means. The executive board is 34 nations – they include Sudan, Djibouti, Tanzania, Zambia, Burkina Faso (say what?), probably Haiti and a whole lot of other failed tribes of no consequence – directing how the civilised world should keep its people healthy. Fabulous – they are barely literate, and certainly are not sitting at the adult's table because they are renowned world leading doctors, you can forget them.
Too often in the past fortnight goverments have been announcing that it is “safe to go out again”, to head off to school, to visit shopping centres, to return to the air conditioned office, to dine in restaurants and to travel. They might as well hand over the microphone to whichever lobby group turned up at the Prime Minister’s door insisting they say so.
The demanding, unpleasant, effete little Irish rugby stand over gypsy from Qantas will have been throwing his weight around Canberra on Week One protecting his airline’s cash flow and his massive pay packet, followed by a conga line of tourist associations, the retail traders' representative, heads of commerce flogging insurance and bank loans, the English language schools and universities who rely on their Asian students for their very survival, and so on. Not one of these people has any interest in public health protection – its someone else’s problem. They will lie handsomely to safeguard their corner.
Further, we have a government and a bureaucracy that is still shipping in illegal Centrelinkers from North Africa, the Middle East and other primitive places, people who routinely have a bog in the street and who don’t bother bathing. When they spit everywhere and shove their dirty mitts into the bowl from which the reffo next to them takes his next mouthful – and contract a gutful of Corona Virus 123 by the hundreds – these public servants will ship ’em in by the truckload to the same hospital wards as Australians, because diversity is our strength. With public officials that stupid what sane man would entrust his health to their sincere announcements and their perverted system?

Jesus, that's a pretty rough paragraph.

serious question, Mick are you alright? Your stream-of-consciousness rants used to be mildly amusing. Lately they have turned very dark, and are often barely readable.

One of my co-workers lost $150k in stocks because of the mass media-driven hysteria coronavirus.
Also I was in Australia Fair last week at an Asian grocery. In a hairdresser at that mall one of the workers there, recently returned from Iran, has tested positive. She saw 40 people in the time it took her to realise she was ill. There is a chance I have come in contact with someone that has it.

Inevitably we will all come in contact with someone who has it. We need to take basic precautions, washing hands can't be overstated

It's amazing how many people think pandemic has the same Greek root as panic...

Fortunes are being made or boosted by anyone in the grocery business, and in the soap, tissues, and medical barrier type industries

There's an impressive army of vehement Facebook posters who would have completely locked down the NZ border to everyone four weeks ago.
I'm not sure how they found to time to study medicine alongside their qualifications in volcanology and mine re-entry, but they've found a way....

You should see how many Australians have suddenly switched from being expert fire fighters to renowned epidemiologists. No wonder it's the clever country...

They’ll be telling us how to pick the all blacks later this year as well as how to fix the warriors..
