Coronavirus

[Johnny73]

The problem is, and always will be, the communist government of China, not the populace. Unlike the U.S. where the problem is (some of) the people in it. The problem with Australia is that it, like Donald Horne wrote, is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. The vast majority of Prime Ministers of this country have been duds. And I'm not talking about the last ten years either.

I could, but won't, name the four I believe had anything more than election to election 'bribes' on their minds during their tenures.

Coronavirus...hunger pandemic.

UN food agency chief: World on brink of `a hunger pandemic'

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The head of the U.N. food agency warned Tuesday that, as the world is dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, it is also “on the brink of a hunger pandemic” that could lead to “multiple famines of biblical proportions” within a few months if immediate action isn’t taken.

That should be ok...a link, a heading, and two lines of text. Then my comments as always below the 5 #'s

Famines?
All the more reason for ScoMo, Prime Minister of Australia with whom the buck stops....to wave his magic wand and make water from the Murray available immediately to the farmers in our $20 billion food bowl...to grow rice and wheat so we don't starve.
We were importing rice from Vietnam, reportedly, then Vietnam closed down for the Coronavirus pandemic., reportedly.

As a teen child I used to carry a whip around my suburb with me [to 'whip' the bullies away] ….but it was not I last week outside the Chinese consulate in Sydney cracking a whip and shouting out some inappropriate stuff...and then "Wake up Australia! "Wake up Australia"!
His last words are totally correct.

In our supermarket freezer sections there is a lot of food "made in China", "product of China".
Also, "made in Australia from 10% Australian ingredients". Where the rest come from.?

Supermarket deli....sliced ham "10% Australian ingredients", where the other 90% come from? Overseas somewhere. Where overseas?..China? It doesn't say.

We seem to be kicking the butt of this virus at the moment in Oz, guys.

Over 70% of cases have fully recovered. We have had 74 deaths when some irresponsible mainstream reporting had at least 150,000 dying. There have been 183,000 deaths worldwide!

Yes any death is tragic and no I don't hate old people.

Not sayIng break out the shampoo just yet, and there may/may not be a second wave but geez we have done well.

I wasn't kidding when I said it's easier to get a ventilator here than a roll of toilet paper. We have about 7,000 now with less than 100 people nationwide using them.

You won't here these angles in the mainstream media.

Well done Australia.

You will if you listen to no1 shock jock.
He quotes all the figures...and now is pointing out 'alarmist rhetoric' and the ventilators.

'We're only halfway thru the first quarter', NSW Health Minister said the other day, I think. Some official said it anyway.

I say we did exactly the right thing preparing for the worst.
Did exactly the right thing getting all the ventilators and ICU beds ready.
The fat lady hasn't sung yet!

Lots of planes landing here from China every day, no 1 shock jock says.
"Mostly cargo planes".
Border Force says it's watching the flight crews and cargo plane staff closely.

"Check for yourself", AJ says.
"Go to website "flightradar24.com".

So I did, ever a faithful 'servant'.

flightradar24.com

in Search box put Shanghai or whatever airport you want...and up come all the planes.
China sure is busy.
No shortage of planes flying in and out of China.

There's an App button..."track every plane in the world in 3D, see what the pilots see."

The media here are absolutely loving it. They have made it front and centre for the past two months. Its like the rest of the world doesnt even exist.

This is going to sound absolutely awful but I mentioned to my wife last night when the first story on the later news was the terrible accident in VIC that killed four police officers, I said "Thats the first time in 2 months theres been anything other than a Corona Virus headline to open the news".

You are only scratching the surface mate. China is already and will profit significantly from all of this.

Which begs the question: "Why aren't we like China"? "Doing what China's does"? "Buying up the world one house, one farm, one company, one industry, one country, at a time?

[Parkway_Drive]

this has nothing to do with the roosters. if you want to post this sort of stuff why don't you find another forum where it's more appropriate?

i agree that white people are as important as everyone else but this is hardly the place to argue about it.

maybe politics is more important than sport but not in a sporting forum it isn't.

this is a forum for roosters supporters. Sure, we all have different political opinions, but we're here because we all support the roosters. harping on about politics, with its inevitable divisiveness, is like a catholic going to an inter-faith religious meeting and calling Martin Luther a heretic. Doesn't help.

Here here, I would like to give this post 10 likes.

The Political stuff should go to the other discussion section where it belongs on this site.

We are not a country of 1.4 billion people paying a large percentage of their workforce pittance. Thats why.

This song came up on my shuffle whilst I was reading your post Jack. I know you like it..

I had a nice swim at Maroubra Beach this morning. Being born and bred in Bondi it was my first time swimming there. Happy to report I saw quite a few Roosters hats and not a Rabbit in sight.

She is right more often than wrong. That doesn't give the media much ammunition to attack her. Unless you're T Rex Paul Murray & his cast of Jurassic Park....who are still mourning the loss of Stegasorearse Tony Abbott- they seem to find lots of faults with her.!!

"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate and strong." - Jacinda Ardern

I haven't sighted one Rabbitohs fan since I've been home this past month. Plenty of Roosters hats and T-shirts around too.

Makes sense. Would you want to be seen in those shyt colours?
