WHO Timeline - COVID-19

Pertinent question:- 'Are there many - 'vulnerable' people remaining alive ?'
ie, very old,/isolated / generally unwell / diabetic / heart disease / COPD / Asthma / dark skinned / socially head-to-toe-covered outdoors.

And the Chinese scientists knew from an early stage that it was remarkably similar to SARS but was far more infectious. As I've said before its name should be SARS-2, not COVID-19. They told the WHO that it wasn't transmittable from person to person - and WHO told the world that - when the Chinese government not only knew that the virus was transmissible but extremely so.

I was researching and writing about SARS-2 in late January/early February - for a briefing to clients - and it was clear even then that we weren't getting the full story - for example, I had Chinese colleague who'd just come back from Beijing and they told me that the city was in lockdown when that was officially denied by the Chinese government. And WHO definitely delayed calling it a pandemic, presumably because of Chinese pressure.

Edit:- The Taiwanese claim to have told both, in January, that it IS transmissable, person to person.



At risk of sounding like a cracked rec..cracked rec... there are no White or Black hats in this, only darkening shades of Grey. - which goes towards Trump not putting the boot right in to the Celestial Kingdom. - Allegations such as SARS being vigourously investigated and played with in the USA... a POTUS who officially shuts it down (via Executive order) - only we find a Head of Department later - off his own initiative (?) 'sub-contracting' some of that work to an overseas BSL-4 lab and even securing US government funding for them to the tune of at least $3.6M USD
Pointedly, it's no longer the preserve of various 'Tin Hats' to declare and/or speculate as to how many bad actors are involved in the murk.
Then there is the bottomless well of Human Stupidity, matching the most devious conspiracy Theories.

Why Gain-of Function Research Should Be Banned: The Author of 'Biotech Juggernaut' Speaks Out on COVID-19

Don't forget the jackals, circling just outside the light, opportunists / Savvy businessmen, who see a buried pot of gold and make the most of it to push THEIR own agendas...
Note the current emphasis on 'VACCINEs' to Save Humanity, all 7.8 billion of us, or those who can afford the $40 to $200 cost per jab. Per year.
- yet very little on improving treatment and making it Very Effective.

Or enhancing out immune systems to fight off the invasion, as we see with the majority who are infected yet symptomless & recovered.

Yeah, must admit that my first thought was that the Constitution didn't have a freedom of sex provision.

It's interesting to note that it's mostly non Queenslanders trying to maintain the argument against Queensland's border restrictions.

You just don't get it down there do you?

Someone said businesses are closing at Bryon Bay. Well, from my observation , businesses are always closing at Byron Bay , it's got nothing to do with Queenslanders. It has no real stable population , but the blues festival is good.

I hope we are last to open our borders and we will not change to daylight saving either. If you want either , find a different place to go to.

Why do you all want to come here?

And if you don't want to come here as more than one have already said , shut the **** up!

Thats 'cause you are all Queenslanders, mind the daylight saving doesn't fade the curtains. I now know how Joe Bjelke was able to be king for so long.



Well I've spent too long in the deep north,
the land of the big peanut
It ain't that great in the Police State
They burn down the hippies huts

They turn back the clocks a decade
they bust you for no reason
The sun shines the whole year 'round
The shotguns' still in season

Get me over the border, get me over the border
Down to New South Wales

The girls' are sweet & juicy
Oh so brown & blonde
but watch out for the young ones
You wont get no bond

They don't treat you too well

Down in Bogga Road jail
Make a break, make a break for the border
with the dogs running on your tail

Over the border put some wind in my sails
Over the border put some wind in my sails
Get me over the border down to New South Wales

It's a nice place to visit
But I wouldn't want to stay
I might want to march in the street some day
But ol' Joh wont let me have my say
So I'll get on down to Coolangatta
And get on my way

Get over the border
Get this rocket on the rails Put some wind in my sails
I got my foot to the floor I don't know what I went there for
Get out of Queensland I'm only going back with a gun in my hand
I got me a mango one day they're gonna hang Joh

Over the border put some wind in my sails
over the border get my wheels on the rails
Get me over the border down to new south wales

Skyhooks, 1979
