KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia has detected a mutation of the Sars-CoV-2 — the virus causing the Covid-19 pandemic — that is 10 times more infectious than the original Wuhan strain. Read more at https://www.todayonline.com/world/10-times-more-infectious-d614g-coronavirus-strain-detected-malaysia

They should call it the "Betong Flu" due to all the Malays that go to Betong to unload their goods.

Old news.

The mutation Spike D614G is of urgent concern; it began spreading in Europe in early February

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.29.069054v1

 

The new news is that it has now arrived in Asia .

I quote from another forum (Indo) : 

"The D614G strain has already been widely reported because it has been the dominant strain in Europe and the Americas nearly since their first cases. It is newsworthy that it has now made its way to Asia, and about a month ago South Korea revealed their newest cases were predominantly the G strain. We should hope that it does not make its way to Indonesia since it is 5-10 times more infectious (with similar virulence), depending on which study you read.

However, Malaysia's Health director-general is not in agreement with most other experts regarding vaccine effectiveness. In fact, the vaccines being tested in the US and Europe will be primarily tested against the G strain."

With the U.S. closing in on 170,00 coronavirus deaths, experts at the University of Washington Institute for Health Metrics predict that number will hit 186,000 by September 1 and more than 390,000 by December 1.  

Health officials have not been able to convince enough people to wear masks and practice social distancing to slow the spread of the disease.

I see why you are a fan:

"Jones is a supporter of the Galileo Movement, a climate change denial group which argues that climate change is a hoax perpetrated to form a world government."

WTF are looney socialist, Gallileo movement etc ....

I dont give a shit about all this, just dont ask me to distance, wear a mask, and let me listen to the band while enjoying my drink.

"In this modern world, at the slightest provocation it seems, we revert - despite all the
money spent on education - we revert to hysteria and alarmism," Jones said on radio this
week. "We now seem to be facing the health version of global warming. Exaggeration in
almost everything. Certainly in description, and certainly in behaviour."

 

You were the one who raised "eggs". Care to explain what they have to do with Covid-19 or Alan Jones.

It was to put into context Grayray's assertion that Alan Jones is the "best political voice in Australia".

Just watched the latest updates from Dr John Campbell on YouTube, extremely promising news imo, take a look or if anyone can pop it on here. He believes covid19 can be totally eradicated from the face of the earth. Better Hold Fast, pattaya here we come

On 28th April the US had taken just 82 days for Covid-19 deaths to surpass the number of deaths incurred during the Vietnam war (58,320).

45 days later (12 June) and they have doubled that number. (Currently 116,025 by Worldometer and increasing by about 1,000 per day).

 

Didn't someone say the virus would magically disappear when the weather warmed up.

 

68 days to reach the 3rd Vietnam. 175,074 by Worldometer.

Still clocking over 1,000 deaths per day (7 day average) but better than the 2,200 plus per day (7 day average) racked up during April.

Another example of the fine mess created by some western governments ..

Lock your citizens up, allow some to return home from overseas but quarantine them, dont provide / arrange quarantine facilities in sufficient quantity anw you end up with this ...

Really, thats "taking care of your citizens" ? 

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/aug/19/australians-stranded-overseas-as-airlines-fly-with-as-few-as-four-economy-passengers

A very good post on the subject by a (very sarcastic) member of a Indo forum :

"It does seem ironic that the one time largest penal colony in the world is now (outside of North Korea) the only country keeping its citizens locked in.

Does anyone else think it's weird how both OZ and NZ have this strange and singular attitude to quarantine. What is it about this end of the planet that seems to cause such a loss of rationality?

Lets lock it all up to be super safe, oh except those valuable paying students from China. Where did that virus come from???

Nobody's getting out because it's "safer" and "they'll have to come back" Wow! isn't that their problem in a grown up, adult world? Unless it's really all about keeping that desperately needed tourist dollar at home to support all the local hotels going tits-up?

NZ is going to nuke the US for warning it's travelers about NZ's 12 or 18 cases and it going into full on "Walking Dead" security and delaying their election. Didn't the world go ballistic when "his lordship" Donald even suggested that?

If for no other reason this pandemic has really shown that the world is being run by a bunch of Muppets whose only claim to any capacity to rule was that they had a bunch of other muppets that seemed to agree with them and not for any particularly wonderful examples of grown-up or connected and rational thinking and handling.

Role on AI computer governance."

Also mate...as this article shows. Australia said all should return there.... but people cannot as they are virtually being refused entry to their own country.

Along with the pumped up premiers who have let the power go to their heads...Australia is in turmoil. The QLD Premier came out and said that QLD hospitals are only for QLDers.... she must have a short memory ..... QLD is in Australia and all facilities Australia wide is for all.

Some of the things being put in place in Aust has nothing to do with CV19 to help the population..... they are being put in place for political reasons... nothing else.

cheers

No surprise here...still looks like fun, though:

Covid cases are linked to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, but the full impact may never be known

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/08/20/sturgis-attendee-bar-coronavirus/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most

As hundreds of thousands flocked to rural South Dakota for a motorcycle rally this month, sparking fears of a coronavirus superspreader event, photos captured people crowding the streets without masks and packing local businesses in the city of Sturgis — including a bar on Main Street, One-Eyed Jack’s Saloon.

Now state health officials say a person who visited One-Eyed Jack’s for about five hours has tested positive for the novel coronavirus. So has an employee of the tattoo shop inside the bar who worked there from last Thursday through Monday. Both could have transmitted the virus to others at the time...

. . .

In the meantime...important stuff...  😍

Surprised they went ahead with the rally this year. Stupid move IMHO. But you're right, Sturgis Rally is a lot of fun. A group of friends and I made the trip out there from Wisconsin in 2006. Rented a house in the Deadwood area. Beautiful area for riding bikes.

Good point. The rush for a vaccine will likely cut corners. Fauci is being a realist about this. He is also very familiar with the COVID strains.

One advantage to a vaccine is that it might help lessen symptoms, or keep them to a minimum. The annual flu vaccine is designed to do this.

Combining this effect with better care options (e.g., meds, treatments) might be considered progress (for some).

didn't fauci say back in march? that it was safe to go on a cruise?

and you need not wear a mask?

So what did Victoria do to bring their fukup under control?

Victoria is beginning to map its path out of stage four lockdown, as the state records it's second-lowest case numbers in five weeks.  

 

why, they reintroduced a lockdown and mandated masks.

Sure beats doing nothing and hoping it will disappear, as if by magic, in the warmer weather.

Fuking idiot!
