Thats a really interesting read. It will be interesting to see if the Australian Government moves to reinvigorate manufacturing in Australia again. Ideally in situations like this, countries would be self-sufficient. But thats not the economic reality which is probably why it wont happen.

Ron, is that page not to big to send me to my mail addy?

I've saved it as a PDF that's 6 pages and 710kB in size.

I can email that to you.

Even better news, they tested the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and Cairns in case of community transmitted cases, and found none. Keep doing what we are doing, we're halfway through the marathon. PS a few people have been educated about the rules, but afaik no need for arrests or fines at this moment. It's great to be a QUEENSLANDER!!! EDIT. beating NSW again. Too easy.

More good luck than good management.
Methinks you need to view footage from the GC to see how people aren't doing the right thing.
A good mate lives at Southport and he said the Spit and Surfers was packed today, as was Burleigh Point and Burleigh Bunnings yesterday.
His boss said the queue at the Trade Counter was nuts, and none were tradies.

I think you'll find a number of countries are moving to legislate certain things must be locally sourced into the future on national emergency/security grounds.
I've read a number of European countries and the US are starting to draft legislation, and I wouldn't be surprised if that happens here.

Teak everywhere, brass fittings, creaking Cabin Doors, salt water to wash with, Special Sea water soap, no Stabilisers & vomit everywhere during the rough days/nights, & not a piece of plastic or fancy glass to be seen.

Are you a 1000 years olde? It was sunk in 1940 by a U Boat It certainly appears as though it did do the West African run. Or is there a 2nd ship of the same name?


Yep 2nd ship of that name. This is more like it Grey with green boot topping. Doen't even mention Chunda.[biggrin]

[QUOTE=Xtreme;2989429]Not sure this can be confirmed, however should be checked out.

TRUE OR FALSE ?? [QUOTE]


If you don't know if it's true or false why post it?


BTW, the answer to most of the "questions" is FALSE.

E.g.,

• Beijing and other large Chinese cities like Chengdu did get coronavirus outbreaks - and this is easily verified. And had been noted by Hong Kong epidemiologists as early as mid-January.

• Beijing was under lockdown - a Chinese colleague whose family live in Beijing returned from Beijing in mid-February and told me that the city was under lockdown, notwithstanding that this wasn't officially announced - and in any case the idea that the CCP would allow the coronavirus to spread where the Politburo are centred is ridiculous.

• China's economy has been crippled, and this is easily verified if you cared to do any research.

As to whether this was a bioweapon - no, because it isn't lethal enough and it isn't controllable. Real military bioweapons kill 80%+ and don't spread so uncontrollably. And if the Chinese created it then why would they use it against themselves? And, no, the virus facility research in Wuhan isn't a bioweapons site - bioweapons sites are secret and located on military bases and don't typically permit visitors.
