Yes and there are plenty of conspiracy theorists on YT who keep telling us the same thing so why don't we look at the figures we can trust. Australia had 22 confirmed cases, 15 were people from Wuhan and 7 from the cruise ship. 13 of the Wuhanese have recovered and the cruisers haven't been in quarantine long enough to reach a decision about their state. The total number of people in OZ infected by the Wuhanese before they were quarantined: 0 I'm sure the Chinese CCP is lying about many aspects of Corona. They are probably afraid that this could be their Chernobyl - the last-straw disaster that makes the people finally turn on them. If you look at the figures in Wuhan/Hubei and compare them to the rest of the World, I think most Govt officials in Hubei will be shot. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glossop saint 351 Report post Posted February 26 Some friends of mine got back from holiday in Italy at the weekend and are both now feeling ill. Apparently they're 'trying to get tested but whole system is currently in meltdown due to demand'. She is a doctor and they have self quarantined themselves. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next 2 weeks and their experiences. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Copa 4,258 Report post Posted February 27 (edited) On 10/02/2020 at 16:39, Farmduck said: The recovery rate is steadily climbing. Recoveries outnumber deaths now by about 3:6 to 1. A week ago it was only 2:1. Of course this is partly about the process. Once a case is confirmed, a person can die much faster than they can be officially recovered. And there is still only one death outside China which could mean a few different things. One option would be that other health systems are better at dealing with corona than China's. The number of confirmed cases passed 20K on 3 Feb so, allowing a 14-day period without illness before a person can be classed as recovered, we may start to see a huge jump in recoveries. And finally, to keep it in proportion, since the start of this year, 2,000 Australians have died from smoking. A corona death toll of 900 is still fairly minor. 30,000 people worldwide have died from malaria already this year, based on average death toll over the last few years. You’re making dodgy comparisons. It’s the potential transmissibility of this flu that seems to have spooked people. The Spanish Flu had a death rate of around 3% and killed around 50 million people in one year because it was highly transmissible. Now that Coronavirus is cutting lose outside of China we’ll really see what it can do. Edited February 27 by Copa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
