I agree p2 but don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen & as for the much vaunted WHO all I can say what a bloody shower & a disgrace to the world. Impartial my arse!

I’d be surprised if this Virus hasn’t been circulating for a lot longer than people think.

Same with confirmed cases vs real carriers/cases.
Statistically, 80% of people with the bug aren’t even aware they have it. Multiply that across a population and a huge number has been moving around thinking they have a cold or tickle in the throat.

Donnie's missus is looking a tad Hang Dog of late. Maybe she has got a touch of C-19.

Anyway she has Donald to lean on.

Yep, there's nothing new about Coronaviruses, they are common - we have Hendra, for example. Jumping to humans is not new either.
All that's new is this one was diagnosed, not as influenza, but as a SARS, thanks to China having good medical standards and looking for the right result.

A tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the hotel, and lays a $100 bill on the desk, saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night.

As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.

The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer.

The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier, the Co-op.

The guy at the Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit.

The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel owner.

The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the traveler will not suspect anything.

At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill and leaves.

No one produced anything. No one earned anything... However, the whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the future with a lot more optimism.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how a Stimulus package works.

Can someone PLEASE send that to ScMo... maybe give the poor old, self-funded (we did fund ourselves, not many fully appreciate that !) Aged Pensioners a few more dollars... so we can pay the gutter guy, lawn-mowing lad etc etc.

Not a theory. Fact. How it fits in to the scheme of things is yet to be decided. And WHO have said they will investigate when the pandemic is beaten. Fair enough. Far too many internet " experts "offering their advice, really.

France's first known coronavirus case 'was in December' and had not been to China

Five Eyes are better than a conspiracy theory. Best left to the experts to work out, we should keep our conspiracy theories to ourselves.

UK believes coronavirus was passed from animals naturally - not from Wuhan lab

If the Trump mob say they have evidence the virus came from a Chinese lab then let's see it. Otherwise, why would anyone believe them when their record of telling the truth is so bad? Put up or shut up!
