Australia pressures WHO after it backed reopening China's wet markets

Prime Minister Scott Morrison demanded transparency in understanding the origin of the disease and protection from the global threat of China's notorious open marketplaces.

www.dailymail.co.uk

The Wuhan Health Organisation has endorsed China re-opening wet markets...

Can't make this shit up. That organisation needs gutting out.

that's probably because they know it came from the laboratory and not the wet market....

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Australia's first case came from China, on a plane into Melbourne. However, the USA & Italy are Australia's two biggest sources - probably because we were relatively quick to close the border to China, but painfully sloooooooooooooow to close it to the USA & Italy.

Typical Australia. Some poor ass brown people are coming over by boat, send the SAS. Oh you're infected with a deadly virus but you happen to be white, come right in and wander around our CBD's.

 

[AmericanCrow]

Lots of those ministers don’t live anything resembling a lavish lifestyle. They’re not all part of bigger organisations that cover costs. Many of them work extremely hard to keep the church going, yes it takes money, but not everyone that takes money is a Billy Graham. Lots of them have very little outside of their church and devotion to it. Not all religion is compromised like the Catholics, there are genuine believers and good doers out there.

Well we will give him credit for this..he truly believed he knew more then health officials.

Whilst he can sacrifice himself up to the altar of ignorance and ordinarily I really wouldn’t give a rats rear end.

The fact is that he, and those who follow him, endanger me and my family by doing whatever they feel like when they feel like it.

So when his “beliefs” affect me and mine...I take exception

Brisbane had already cancelled their's, and there's is just before ours.

Given the itniterant nature of alot of the show workers/carnies/attractions, I can understand why it's being cancelled.

Correct.

The Govt was quick to close the borders when it was only brown people who were infected (China, South Korea and Iran) - and rightly so. I have no problem at all with the speed with which they closed the borders to these countries, once the extent of their infections became known. I said it was the right call then, and it still looks like a good decision with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight.

They were far, far, far more reluctant to close the borders when it came to the white skinned people (USA & Europe). There is absolutely no excuse for waiting as long as they did before closing the borders to these countries. The only possible reason for the delays, relative to the earlier shutdowns, is racism.

Seems Melbourne’s F1 GP may have played some small part in that .. also seems that they felt travel from the US was reasonably safe considering they were quite quick to shut their borders to China

Even if the virus was eradicated and restrictions eased before then, it wouldn't be viable economically. Supply chains/logistics, exhibitors, labour hire mobs, etc would all be affected and would be nigh on impossible to get something remotely resembling the usual event happening.

Bule?
Banjar's?

 

[arrowman]

Bule?
Banjar's?

Bule - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"an Indonesian word for foreigners and/or non-Indonesian national, especially people of European descent ('whites', 'Caucasians'). "

What is a Banjar?

Banjar means ‘neighborhood’ and it is smallest form of local government in Bali. Read more about what it's all about in this article.

balitreasureproperties.com

"The smallest form of local government in Bali is the Banjar. It is basically a local community group who acts as a village government system and village council. It is independent from the police and takes care about the cultural and religious values of the village community. Every village has its own Banjar and members are the married men of the community. "

Not surprising though. All the nurses I know are isolating from any extended family and friends, so the chances of it spreading outside of the hospital would be very small.

Back in mid-February I suggested that my son bring his daughter over from New Zealand to go to the Show. After some discussion back and forth he sent this email on the 1st of March: "Air nz has some crazy cheap deals to Adelaide because no one is flying due to virus but I’m not sure I want to fly either!" So we decided to leave it for another year. At the time, we never thought the Show would be cancelled. I'm glad he didn't go ahead and book a flight in February.

I'm not sure that I did. I certainly don't remember there being any "include pandemics" check box when I purchased the cover online. I specifically added "cruise cover", and excluded things like motorbikes and skiing, but including pandemic cover was not an option.

So you purchased a policy without doing a risk analysis and understanding the terms of the policy? Why should an insurer wear the cost of your inability to understand the product that you've purchased or your failure to identify the risks. The insurer has delivered against their contract and yet you choose to blame them over the supplier who actually failed to provide the product purchased. Oh yeh, that's right, the big bad insurance companies blah blah.

What's your take on landlord insurance not paying out unless you sue the tenants at the tribunal? The government wants me to do the reasonable thing and negotiate lower rental rates but the insurance company won't pay me a dime if I do that.
