I may have reason to return to this down the track. Carry on!

Oh, I have absolutely no doubt that in our current society and mode of capitalism, when our highly-optimised supply chains fail people's behaviour will get very ugly.

That's just people, nothing to do with "multi-culturalism".

Plenty of non-Australian born, or first generation Australians fought in Vietnam. But they were white I guess.

Heavy furniture in front of the windows if it gets bad. For the Australian gangs, of course. ;)
 
Hehe, but seriously the thinking is two sumo wrestlers with no symptoms have a low chance of passing it on to each other. Introduce 5000 spectators - some of whom may be infected - and the odds of transmission increase hundreds of times.

Maths eh?
 
You
I don't think you know what you're saying.

Are you blaming China for existing, or for having lots of people? Are you saying they should have killed off some of their population earlier? Are you saying too many Chinese people is a problem, but the rest of us are fine?

Also, are you saying that having too many people is bad, or having too many Chinese people is bad? Are you upset about quantity or concentration? What is your perfect amount of Chinese people?

And if you're trying to suggest that the Chinese people feel less social responsibility than the rest of us, then you truly are ignorant to the point of pointless. The measures they have taken to try to curb this spread simply wouldn't happen in Western Countries.

You're also doubling up on the ignorance by saying that Covid-19 is a result of the Chinese, not humans. I can't even fathom what you mean by that. Does that make the flu the fault of the Europeans? Aids the fault of Americans? Ebola the fault of Africans? Did old people cause cancer?
Again and again you turn to rasicm and rhetorical paper tiger questions. It is quite an ability though and you are good at it and some folk on here love it.

Ever been in a Root Cause Analysis?
 
I really don't get the connection with multiculturalism, some far right delusion no doubt.

Always love when the original boat people start complaining about newcomers, I reckon our aboriginal brothers and sisters have a decent argument about boat people screwing the place up.

I never called anyone racist. You called the Chinese a plague.

These are facts.
 
My biggest question right now is why WHO haven't yet declared this a pandemic?
A pandemic (from Greek πᾶν pan "all" and δῆμος demos "people") is an epidemic of disease that has spread across a large region; for instance multiple continents, or worldwide. A widespread endemic disease that is stable in terms of how many people are getting sick from it is not a pandemic.

WHO lists 101,000 confirmed COVID-2019 cases since the epidemic broke.
WHO Situation Report 7 March 2020

In the same time confirmed cases of influenza are more than 300,000.
WHO Influenza Laboratory Surveillance 28 Feb 2020

It will be interesting is to see how much the measures taken to prevent the spread of COVID-2019 impact the spread of influenza this year.
 

“There is now an emergency going on and what we must do is very rigorous infection control,” he said.

“Now is the time to really pull out all the stops, put everything you got into it to fight it. We have to give it the whole-of-government approach. Give it all you got, throw everything at it quick and early and hard. That will buy you sufficient time and if you’re extremely lucky, you might even be able to contain it.”

We've got this. 86K came together as one at the MCG last night to show the coronavirus who's boss.

I just laughed. Sounds like a coach.
 
Bahrain Formula One GP to run without fans

They might lead us 85 infections to 80, but those Bahrainis aren't made tough like Australians are.

“Forward, the Petrolhead Brigade!”
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not though the race fan knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the street circuit of Death
Marched the three hundred thousand.


Sunday the 15th. Beware the Ides of March.
