Or just something interesting to think about . I had a ball for a few hours yesterday just mucking around on rebuilding my second set up. Never thought of Covid 19 once for quite a while ..Powering up switches from the main board is fiddley but fun when they work . I have to be distracted because I over think everything that worries me which is a lot . Can start out as a minor issue and end up keeping me awake at night . I've had professional councelling with it too over the years. Doing something I enjoy certainly helps but trying to rate a list of problems on a 1 to 10 scale method does too as outlined by the councellor I've seen a couple of times now . |

Only 4 new cases in Australia yesterday but sadly, 3 deaths so the CMR rises to 1.13%.
6 new cases and 1 death for NZ so the CMR rises to 0.965%. The UK CMR rises to 13.559% and the USA rises to 5.613%. One of the things I find most horrific in the daily stats is just how big a gap there is in terms of mortality rates for different countries. Australia and NZ are well ahead of the curve with 0.435 and 0.382 deaths per 100k people respectively, while Belgium (67.641) and Italy (67.989) are at the other end of the scale. This pretty much reflected in the case mortality rates (CMR) above with both Australia and NZ hovering around the 1% mark but Belgium (14.949%) and Italy (13.931) near the worst along with the UK. To put that in perspective: In Australia you currently have a 2,557:1 chance of getting COVID19 and a 229,731:1 chance of dying of it. In Italy your chance of getting COVID19 is 197:1 and you have a 1,471:1 chance that it will kill you.

This is the perfect example of what’s wrong with the media, too busy focussing on screaming “Trump was wrong!”
This was touted by several medical professions as being a possible solution, to a worldwide epidemic killing thousands of people and destroying economies and instead of the focus being maybe if we get the medication to the patients at an earlier stage it could help, as has been demonstrated by several medical professionals, there’s a celebration that was can rub it in Trumps face. Further large scale studies are ongoing at different stages of infection, as Romulus stated once intubation is required the lung damage is so severe they are in an extremely compromised condition. Personally I’m hoping like anything that the further studies have better results inline with the French study and the independent doctors successes, because rather than play politics and giggle at a potential egg on face moment it would save people’s lives from the virus and the on flow effects of the economic fallout. |

these articles are just highlighting the risks with rushing these 'solutions' in to the public arena without proper testing procedures. a study of 700 people is stupidly small and hardly a cause to start using it mainstream.

Do these viruses get wiped out more or less completely once the vaccine is available or do they just hang around in the background something like flu and keep mutating a bit like flu does with different strains ?. I thought I heard a mention somewhere in the past week or two that there may already be different strains of the virus or that there were concerns it might become that . Can't remember which .

When my father died of cancer he elected to use experimental treatment as an opportunity to possibly extending his life, due to other complications it was unsuccessful and if framed in the wrong light could be easily argued it potentially ended his life, we supported and continue to support his decision in the circumstance.

We have the highest levels of UV radiation in the world, and the southern hemisphere has higher levels of UV radiation as a whole, due to our location making us closer to the sun than they are in the north. Partly explains why the northern hemisphere has been hit much harder. Population density is also one of the major contributers like you said. |

Type I: ones that are considered wiped out like Smallpox - it killed about 30% of the people who got it and spread through the trade routes. A vaccine was available from the early 19th century (1801) but it took 170 years to eradicate it completely although it was largely gone from the Western world a bit earlier than that. Type II: the 'new but we can probably get on top of it' ones like Dengue for which there has been a vaccine since 2019 and Rotavirus which also has a vaccine so these should eventually disappear or become another Type IV. Type III: the 'unresolved but sporadic outbreak' ones like Marburg (80% mortality), Ebola (50-70%) and Hanta (36%) for which there is no vaccine or cure. Type IV: the 'should be eradicated but aren't' ones like Rabies which has effectively disappeared from the Western world but still kills people in Africa and India. The vaccine has been available since the 1920's and there are treatments to enable survival but without treatment the mortality rate is 100%. Type V: the 'treatable but unstoppable' ones like HIV which is probably the worst of the modern viral epidemics and still a major problem in lower socio-economies. It's not curable as such but it no longer shortens the lifespan of those who can afford treatment. Type VI: the 'sort of manageable but not really' like Influenza. It keeps developing different strains; still kills > 500k people a year and while vaccines are available their success rate is only around 65%. It's hard to know yet which type COVID19 will end up being but both the other Coronavirus outbreaks have no vaccines or treatments as yet: SAR-CoV hasn't been diagnosed since about 2003 and it only infected ~8,000 people albeit with an almost 10% mortality rate so it may have just disappeared so I'd say it's a Type III. MERS-CoV is far deadlier with a 30-40% mortality rate but has only had three outbreaks (2012, 2015 & 2019) and a total of ~2,500 cases and it also looks like a Type III. I'm leaning toward this being another Type III unless we get a viable treatment which would make it a Type V or a vaccine which would probably make it similar to Influenza as Type VI. But that's all supposition frankly.

Thanks on the breakdown russellw and other replies ...struth ... not as straight forward as some are making out then . The vaccine is the key though before a normality can really be considered . Until then it's control and finding an effective and safe treatment for those poor buggers who get infected .. Dang.

Finally got some good news on a personal front, employer rang me yesterday and asked if I wanted to return for the new school term and would I like to be paid under the job keeper scheme.
Spoke with the Wife and tin lids about it last night and after 5 weeks away from School and with the risks much lower now that infection rates have almost stalled in SA, the kids jumped at the opportunity to get back to some form of normality. So, come Monday morning, im back to work and cant bloody wait. |

Fox News response to Veterans Affairs survey including partial interview with representative from VA and French Doctor Didier Raoult from initial 1,000 patient response to findings in survey. Based on the information presented, I’d hardly give up on this as a potential treatment. Also covers exactly the same points i mentioned earlier, the media was so keen to pounce on a failure they didn’t pay attention to the details, MSM reporting is dead. Quote:

Ruby Princess is leaving Port Kembla now. Almost 10% of total cases and nearly 30% of deaths linked to it. What a huge ****up, so glad to see it go!

A lot of people commenting on some issues with it. You're never going to get it perfect if you want quick action but glad that it will save some jobs if not the amount we would hope for. We will see but good that it has helped you out. |

Thanks guys, I actually applied for the Jobseeker payment after they raised the partner threshold, not that I thought i'd get much.
When I lodged my claim I got a text saying it was received and that if successful i'd be back payed from 30/3 but wouldn't be completed until 19/4. On 19/4 I got a message saying it was approved but I wouldn't be paid anything until the fortnight from 22/4 to 6/5. So it looks as though the big talk about looking after those effected is not quite what its being made out to be as by the time I got paid, i'd have been without income from 27/3 until 6/5, the best part of 6 weeks. Thankfully i'll be back to work and paid by them before i'd get anything from centrelink. |

Another assistance for small businesses.
Federal Government: Cash Flow Boost (CFB) $20,000 to $100,000 - if you run a small business, best discuss with your accountant. God knows how the country will ever repay CFB and jobkeeper and jobseeker and all the other assistance being offered ??? But as my socialist neighbour says - "its just imaginary money, nothing is real" |
