The one issue the government and health agencies aren't offering advise on is a treatment protocol. Their recommendation is to go see your GP. Like your GP is able to help. The Chinese in Wuhan are administering IV Vitamin C, up to 50000 units per day. Folk are leaving hospital 7-10 days after admission almost fully recovered. Which of the 100 or so pop up clinics set up by the government is directing patient to receive that treatment?

Found this video pretty interesting. And it's from expert in communicable disease control. Would take a punt and say he has more knowledge of this than the vast majority on here....

Says who, the WHO? Plenty of evidence coming out of Wuhan contradicting your statement.

There isn't plenty of evidence. One hospital in Wuhan is doing a clinical trial with high-dose vitamin C, and results aren't due until September. Not sure how you have inside knowledge about the success of this trial....

Got a link? We all know Vitamin C is a help to ward off the cold and flu, but as a cure....nope.

Some symptoms are better not treated. For example, the old runny nose. Do you realise, that is the body's response to flush out the virus? Just use tissues (or that locker of toilet paper you have) to keep comfortable. No drugs needed. Got a cough? Yep, again a response to clear the lung of that little bugger. Cover the mouth and let her rip. Drugs, like Ventolin etc are only necessary for bronchospasm. Antibiotics are an absolute waste of time, unless a bacterial infection takes over where the virus left off. We all know what damage the overuse of antibiotics have done, don't we? Self defence is the best protection, via universal hygiene precautions, wash your hands, use a tissue or handkerchief if coughing or sneezing. Personally I find the elbow rather...yuck.

Why are we globally, still allowing flights between countries?
Wouldn't it be better to shut airports for a few weeks to stop it spreading between countries? Or is it cause it has such a low fatality rate that no one really cares that much if it spreads? |

The US has just announced a travel ban to Europe for 30 days effective from Friday. UK excluded. Let see if other countries follow suit.

What is worse, the looming global financial disaster should we lock everyone up / down for 2-3 weeks or the deaths resulting in just removing all restrictions and letting the virus spread and run its course? Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place...

800+ deaths in Italy.
They are also telling people over 80 don't bother coming to hospital. This isn't something minor.

News suggests actor Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson, who are currently in Australia, have tested positive to the COVID-19.
Also, another 2 HAAS F1 team members have been isolated. That's 4 from HAAS, and 1 from McLaren. |

Agreed. But I'll make an exception for him and his trash-talking friends like Cluney, Sirus et al.

This might be a good time for Adam and Jamie to reform and make a special episode.

I almost have my anti coronavirus system in place.
Next stage is to get the bubble into my mustang for transportation.

Apparently McLaren Racing has withdrawn from the 2020 Australian Formula One Grand Prix.
Whats next.... Soon the borders will be closed to Europe much the same as the US has done as of tomorrow.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the next week considering what has happened in the last few days. Sure we have had large domestic events up until now but AGP brings in both large domestic fans but mixed in with a lot of flyers in.
I'm big on the stance of taking the medicine up front but obviously that is an easier position to take not being a politician. I do have to say I have a buffer to absorb it and plenty don't. There's going to be a massive effect regardless of what we do in the economy but perhaps we can avoid the worse of the health impacts and the flow on effects from that and prolonging it. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure as they say and Australia in comparison to Europe and America, we are in a much better position to do this considering we have no land borders. What I have to point is it's all well and good to say we can work from home which is true but the infrastructure is not there where I work and a lot of other businesses. If we go large scale with this I don't think even the NBN has a chance of coping with it anyway and will expose it it as the flop we know it is. It does not matter how prepared business is without the backbone to support it. Sure telcos might be able to boost it but who knows. They are doing the rounds at work saying we don't have the capacity or the licencing to put everyone on VDP so who are your most important people but I have pointed out it would be far cheaper in terms of boosting that capability than not but it's not necessarily that easy.

I just logged in and my super has been wiped by $6k in a couple of days in a MySuper option. Just saw the opening bell in the US after an auto trading halt and it is crashing hard.
When Trump made his oval office address I was watching the ASX in anticipation it was serious and sure enough it plunged. |

since testing is limited even here in australia. i can only image the the spread in thrid world countries.
an example, turkey is surrounded by infected countries, but they have just one reported case. north korean isn,t reporting anything. |
