    Which is why the Australian government was referring to their concern about the death rate in Iran - not because the virus seemed deadlier there but because, presuming that the death rate is the same as elsewhere, the number of deaths suggested that there were way more infections than they were admitting to.

    Two Bizzare New Coronavirus Cases Stroke Global Pandemic Fears

    Consider that googled. Read down the page a bit.
    COVID-19: Can you be infected with coronavirus more than once? - National | Globalnews.ca

    Might not have been detected so not actually clear .... more worryingly, could be "biphasic", in which case every cure might not be the case.

    And, if they're contagious during the latent phase ....

    I like that doctors take on it in the link you supplied Arapiles.

    That a very mild case will give a small immune response and potentially allow another infection to take place.
    Seems logical i guess.

    I dont like this part.

    He said what is more likely to have happened is that the patients had low levels of the virus in their system when they were discharged by the hospital and that testing had failed to detect it.


    If hospitals are missing it then spread is unable to be controlled?

    On a slightly funnier side. Anyone see the dunny roll truck catch fire? Surprised drivers by did not try take some burning treasure.

    With all this hysteria we need some level heads.

    I propose a little game of sorts if AULRO management agrees?

    Like everyone on here I guess, I've been following the "development" of this for the last few months.
    But the seriousness of it I suppose, has really began to "sink in" / play on my mind during the last couple of days.
    I reckon the Aussie "Powers That Be", whoever they are, are doing all that they can to protect us, but Jeez, increasing numbers of infections, now starting to "spring up" anywhere, with no cure, and the effect it's having on the World economy is like nothing else that I can remember.
    Just some of my thoughts, Pickles

    Truth be told, me my family and my mates seem to talk about one thing and its this bloody virus.
    My wife kept all the kids home from school today and likely tomorrow because she is rather concerned.

    I know its just a cold like virus, but that said i DO NOT want my kids to get it regardless.
    Guess we all think the same in that regard.

    ******URGENT RECALL*******


    Supermarkets are currently recalling toilet paper as the cardboard roll inserts are imported from China and there are strong fears the cardboard has been contaminated with the coronavirus.


    The most recent purchases are deemed most likely to be contaminated.


    If you have recently brought bulk supplies you are now at risk ...return that toilet paper and apply deep heat directly to your anus to kill any infection ..don't wait till it's too late!

    Still only one case in Tassie.

    It is getting serious though. The release of the latest Bond film has been delayed until November because people are afraid to go to theatres. Even Bond us afraid of a virus.

    Explainer. The Australian government powers to quarantine people in a coronavirus outbreak. People who do not comply to a control order, or escape from detention, can be charged with a criminal offence , and be jailed for up to 5 years.

    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

    The kids are least at risk - there have been zero deaths for under 10, and almost none for 10-20. And very few cases among children.

    Death rate climbs for over fifties, and skyrockets over 70.

    The WHO reports that contrary to expectation, they are not finding many unreported cases in China, implying that the number of known cases is close to the real number, meaning that the reported death rates from China (which is where data is mostly coming from) is fairly close to what we can expect.

    On the other hand, Italy, which has pretty good health services, is reporting a much higher death rate, strongly suggesting that there are a lot of undetected cases. And as for Iran, which also has a high death rate, I don't think anyone expects accurate data from there - not so much because of deliberately misleading data from the government, but because few Iranians trust the government, and hence it is likely that most cases are not reported to the authorities unless they are either dead or critically ill. Which, of course, will help its spread!
