You reckon Bill Gates & Co. would be smart enough to execute the anti vaxxers without lopping heads off so the sheeple wouldn't suspect they were really being executed.

A mate of mine said that his cousin said that he'd seen the bodies, so it's true.

Nah, never. Your mate's cousin must have overdosed on vitamins.

Nah... ketamine, gives better hallucinations.

Nah, my cousin's mate said the same thing.

It has been oddly quiet around here lately

After a relatively mild first wave, the 1918 flu returned with renewed force.

Pandemics of respiratory disease tend to come in waves, and the 1918 flu pandemic is often given as an example. After a relatively mild first wave, in the northern hemisphere spring of that year, the illness gradually receded before returning with renewed force from the latter part of August (the date depended on where you were in the world). This was the far more deadly second wave, which accounted for most of the estimated 50 million deaths in that pandemic. There was a third wave, in the early months of 1919, that was intermediate in severity between the other two.
Based on their scrutiny of the genetic sequences of the strains of the flu virus that caused the first and second waves of the 1918 pandemic, scientists including Jeffery Taubenberger of the US National Institutes of Health concluded a few years ago that the virus mutated between those two waves. During the first wave, they believe, the pandemic strain lacked the ability to spread easily, and it therefore emerged in a limited way through a background of milder but more contagious seasonal flu around the tail end of 1917. The mutation the following summer rendered it highly transmissible, allowing it to explode in August – by which time there was no more seasonal flu to dilute it.

Could this scenario be repeated with Sars-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19? Coronaviruses behave differently from flu, and from what scientists know about them, it seems unlikely. “The coronaviruses are not prone to mutation which perhaps is their weak spot,” says virologist John Oxford of Queen Mary, University of London.
Annelies Wilder-Smith, an expert in emerging infectious diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, agrees. So far Sars-CoV-2 has proved relatively stable, she says, and if it were to mutate, “We would hope that it would mutate to be less virulent.”
Unfortunately, that doesn’t rule out a resurgence. Unlike in China, lockdowns in other countries are being lifted before the disease has been eradicated, mainly because of fears about the economic consequences of keeping them in place. That means the virus is still circulating in their populations, and from what we can tell they are still far from achieving herd immunity (probably around 60 or 70 per cent of a population needs to be immune to protect it as a whole).

Coping with the constant threat of re-emergence is going to have to be the posture of humanity in the foreseeable future.
— David Nabarro, a public health expert at Imperial College London and the WHO’s special envoy on COVID-19

With no vaccine likely to be widely available for a year at the earliest, the risk of further outbreaks is therefore high. David Nabarro, a public health expert at Imperial College London and the WHO’s special envoy on COVID-19, says he doesn’t think in terms of waves, so much as ever-present danger. “Coping with the constant threat of re-emergence is going to have to be the posture of humanity in the foreseeable future,” he says.
How bad could a resurgence be? Wilder-Smith is relatively optimistic. “Yes there will be a second wave, and a third and a fourth and a fifth,” she says, “but hopefully they will be smaller each time, as we learn to suppress them.” But there are bleaker scenarios. Writing in the journal Science on April 14, a group of mathematical modellers – led by Christine Tedijanto and Stephen Kissler of the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health in Boston – highlighted “the potentially catastrophic burden on the healthcare system that is predicted if distancing is poorly effective and/or not sustained for long enough”.

With the caveat that a model is only as good as the data that feed it – and data on COVID-19 are still patchy – they estimated that the risk of a resurgence could persist until 2025, and that social distancing measures might need to be employed intermittently until 2022.

The medical officers have said the genomic testing shows the now subsidising virus outbreak in Melbourne had a different sequence to the outbreak in March, which was then carried to the Crossroads Hotel outbreak in Sydney, so the virus has already mutated.
In the USA the testing found both Chinese and Italian strains of the virus, traced back to those countries.
There are millions of known Coronaviruses in the world.
Unfortunately, it's only a matter of time until there is another outbreak somewhere in this country. Melbourne won't be the last.
BTW this story quotes Qld CMO Dr Jeanette Young confirming there was a Byron Bay outbreak over a month ago, as I posted at the time, but sewerage testing says it has passed.
I am told it started with a couple who caught the virus at a funeral in Sydney, went back to Byron, got sick and ended up in Lismore Base Hospital, but have since recovered.
So that's why Qld excluded Byron and Lismore from the border zone until there were 28 days without community transmission, until it has now passed.
It's also interesting that Qld has access to sewerage testing in NSW, as well as Qld. They claim the sewerage testing can find one case of a person shedding the virus in 10,000 residents, so it's very sensitive.

Outbreak in Byron?
No Michael, as I said at the time, one couple picked it up in Sydney, returned home, quarantined and recovered.

It wasn't passed on to anyone else outside of Sydney, let alone the Northern Rivers, so no 'outbreak'

Yes, I took that as the case.

I think our Health boss, here in Qld, can be rather didactic at times.
