Just heard on Ch 7 ...."weeks in quarantine even if they're not showing symptoms" ....bloody hell.
Must be the cuckoo flu spreading.

I just laugh at the panic sellers. Looks like a lot of work tomorrow...7.6% off the ASX again today too. Carnage.
Shares, super hammered as $137 billion wiped off ASX in worst day since GFC
Fuelled by the fallout from the coronavirus and an oil price war, the Australian share market takes a hammering while the Australian dollar briefly tumbles to just 63 US cents.www.abc.net.au
Yep; These companies that have so much value wiped off them are fundamentally not much different to what they were 3 months ago.
It never ceases to amaze me how illogical the stock market is.
Maybe, I’ve seen the earnings ratios numbers and graphs .
If it doesn’t bounce back then you are right but my betting is that it will.
We will see
Excellent article here for you Lee - looking at the (extreme) measures China took to contain the epidemic once they stopped obfuscating. Also good stuff on mortality rates, testing and control procedures, how they dealt with other health issues.

Inside China’s All-Out War on the Coronavirus (Published 2020)
Dr. Bruce Aylward, of the W.H.O., got a rare glimpse into Beijing’s campaign to stop the epidemic. Here’s what he saw.

They are so far ahead of us it's like another planet. All the positive tests go into a central database; there's a phone app that tells you if a carrier has been in your vicinity; they use drones to track people not wearing masks in public and issue verbal warnings to go home. Also in the video below there's a bit on South Korea having access to your credit card details so that if you test positive and your credit card says you're out and about and not in quarantine, you're publicly named and shamed.

We're just going to try to muddle our way through it. I'm not optimistic.
Even more concerned about the US. There you've got the perfect storm of huge numbers of poor people being uninsured, highly casualised workforce so stay home from work = no pay, poor coordination between state and feds, and governments/health agencies actively discouraging testing. Let alone a President who only cares about what effect it has on the stock market.
No worries though, it's only going to be poor old uninsured people who will die.

Where I am they have contact tracing down to an art form. Not only cameras everywhere, but all creditcard, cashcards, debit facilities all available to the authorities who will know who, when and how. Each day when they release the new numbers, each case has a breakdown of the how they got it, or from where they arrived with it.
You lose you civil liberties, but society as a while is better protected.
Mmm, a trade-off. I guess if you're brought up in that culture then you feel less imposed upon.
Plenty of lessons to learn in the west from this achilles heel being exposed.
based on a large sample(n=72,000), you have a 15% chance of dying IF INFECTED if you are over 80.
inverted, 85 of every 100 octogenarian infected, recover from Cotchinvideo-19.
it goes down sharply
under 60 and 987 people out of 1000 who get infected will recover
pretty linear trend off a significant sample
bubonic plague for the information age.

For the most part, countries in the southern hemisphere (summer) and tropics have got off lightly. Maybe that's why we're letting the Italian GP teams in?

Fremantle Dockers player tested for coronavirus
Victorian youngster Sam Switkowski has emerged as the Fremantle player being tested for the coronavirus.
AFL season getting ready to go into melt down. All Frockers players to be quarantined if he's positive. Wet Coke n Carlscum players will be shitting themselves waiting to hear if he's got Coroner.Might be more than a day..

Fremantle Dockers player tested for coronavirus
Victorian youngster Sam Switkowski has emerged as the Fremantle player being tested for the coronavirus.
Sources have confirmed to The Age that the Dockers player - whose identity has not yet been revealed - has been tested after being in contact recently with someone from China.
This is getting hilarious. How more generalised does it get?
Yeah, that's Singapore! Small island state, wealthy, low crime, docile population focussed on material wealth not politics. It's a nice place in many ways.
Singaporeans crack me up though - I was talking about poverty and housing in Indonesia and someone just said to me "why doesn't the Indonesian government just set up like HDB" (Singapore's public housing scheme)". I was like um yeah it's a slightly different scale in Indonesia with 260 million people on 3000 islands, corruption, and much less money.
I really hope that Dockers player tests negative. Could throw the season into doubt.
