@taniwharugby The anecdotal evidence I have (the word from staff members' family in China) is that things have improved greatly. Lockdowns are being scaled down and restrictions are slowly being lifted, but people are still exercising great caution. I wonder if all wet markets in China will be under stricter guidance now? There are so many such markets around the world, the problem isn't just in China
Yes, bush meat in Africa is also a problem. But China is a virus incubator with their food practices and huge population and density of that population.
They have a responsibility to clean up their own house and I hope they get hammered until they do. This is not the first time they have been through this.

Australian case increase per day plotted 1st March onward (28 cases) and 10th march onward (~100 cases), both to last night's updated figure (will point out that getting everyone to agree on a number is tricky).
Shows rate of increase slowing BUT still above 1.0 - longer term trend is decreasing but double-hits due from Ruby Princess and airport arrivals.
Overall, I feel like going for a hike.

I'd also add: looks like they're scraping data from NSW Health for their NSW figure so I'll go with this data until someone says otherwise, assumption being they're doing each state health dept.
For an idea on how far out of the "norm" the USA is headed, they now have the most cases AND the highest case rate increase.

@taniwharugby Begs the question, if they're freeing things up, of where the newly found resistance is coming from? Or are they able rigorously to enforce the 2m gap, rendering lockdown redundant?

Seems one should stick to rice rather than pasta.

This is a pretty interesting thread and really shows how bigger role the Chinese government and the WHO played in ensuring the rest of the world had no idea what was coming by hiding/downplaying the whole thing. Measures were put in place far too late as a result. They both need to be dragged over the coals for this.

Study in The Lancet suggests, based on Wuhan, that reintroducing workforce over four weeks and schools only at end keeps infection rate at manageable levels.

Latest Dutch: https://www.rivm.nl/nieuws/actuele-informatie-over-coronavirus/data Starting to look like coming down the bell curve. Peak seems to be three and a half weeks after first death. This would put UK peak at around 31 March. N.B. Dutch relying on social distancing, without the need for lockdown because residents seem to have used common sense to judge what 2m distancing means.

I think China and the WHO are lying through their teeth.
Like motherfuckers

Keep safe out there everyone, especially the UK ferners and those on the front line.
Have loved the the way we have kept this (mostly) amicable so far, letโs keep the humour up and watching out for each otherโs mental health. We have a long long way to go yet..

Looking at The updated stats on world wide infections, NZ has more cases per million then China does.... yeah...

Surely an expired N95 mask is better than no N95 mask? I'd be interested to hear from 3M what constitutes an expired mask. Sounds like they have been stored in optimal conditions so should be fine. If one or two of them are failed, just grab another

The goon from WHO featured in that video reminded me that three of our four worst, world's best practice incompetent prime ministers, when voted out or knifed by their honorable colleagues, made a beeline for UN-WHO type organisations for their ongoing incomes and manic need for fame.
Those political forces are infested with the likes of that sheila Rudd who are determined to lead the ignorant proletariat. This bloke and our
smartestpudgiest and most effeminate bloke in the room would be firm friends.
