    Two good news stories.

    Hidden away amongst the horror stories in yesterdays paper about rape, murder & mayhem were these two good news stories. They should have been headline stories, Bob
    From the Courier Mail;
    " World first treatment for Dengue fever
    Qld. scientists have developed the World's first cure for dengue fever using a drug drawn from melaleuca leaves. The breakthrough is set to revolutionise treatment for the debilitating virus which threatens half World's population. It comes in a capsule, & can treat patients with dengue, as well as working as a preventive for people visiting countries known for dengue outbreaks "

    " Radio scope switched on
    Australias newest radio-astronomy project is helping to detect potentially lethal space junk, an eminent scientist says. The Murchison Widefield Array in Western Australia's mid west region went into 'full science ' mode & will soon be peering back in time to image the first stars & galaxies that formed after the big bang. It is also going to play an important role in detecting & tracking rapidly accumulating space junk which could be lethal if it hurtles to Earth."
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    I bet if a celebrity of any sort announced it there would be more coverage. The media controllers seem to think that only death, misery, gloom and celebrity is worthy news for the masses .

    just Imagine if you could get the pope to release something like the radio astronomy project which proves the world wasn't made in 7 days.......

    Not so good news! Apparently Queensland Health has dismissed the dengue treatment as a scam and Griffith University says Dr Max Reynolds is no longer a professor (see https://www.townsvillebulletin.com.a...9857_news.html).

    Cheers

    Makes you wonder how they can print it, if they don't confirm it, I thought there was a glimmer of hope for journalism. Silly me, Bob
