  1.  @karlhawkes  If you are in the US well people are dying at about 1,300 a day give or take , around 1,000 from covid 19 and the rest from related or secondary causes like lack of other health care etc. These numbers are with significant intervention. How many should die do you reckon to make it a "proper pandemic"?

  2.  @karlhawkes  I am in Australia so I am calm but I feel for people in other parts of the world who's governments decided on a different approach.

  3. They are tracking the mutations and letting it rip.

  4. Some of us convict stock sent from UK and Ireland. So maybe being a prison colony previously we knew what to do.

  5. If that's true then almost definitely, only a couple of thousand cases if that ever left China and see how many cases now. This is harder though because no way to find it in the background of hundreds of thousands of cases per day world wide.

  6.  @Pierluigi_Di_Lorenzo  I think the concern is that the mutations in another species are more likely to be greater and potentially more deadly.

  7.  @Pierluigi_Di_Lorenzo  I am not a scientist but a more deadly to human mutation might spread without harm through another species and then if it's back in humans be just slightly more deadly like 0.75% mortality versus 0.5% mortality for arguments sake. If the initial mutation was in a human it may behave differently. I am just speculating on why they would be more concerned. So I don't know why it's the case but do trust the scientists have a good reason to be more concerned.

  8. They were going to be killed anyway for there fur I would expect, unless for breeding, this is just accelerating the process.

  9.  @helenporter7584  Actually I have theorised that having a lady either in the position of Chief Health officer or State Premier (or equivalents according to health jurisdiction) might actually be a factor. If you look at all Australian jurisdictions plus NZ , the 2 with the most deaths per capita have males in both positions. 4 out of 5 of the other jurisdictions have a female in at least one of the positions. It's not strong evidence but I think having a lady involved on average possibly causes a more cautious approach. Then you look at the spreaders (leaders of countries who let the virus rip and catch the virus) all men that I am aware of. It's all anecdotal but I think there could be some validity to my theory.

  10. Ok Darwin in the Northern Territory Australia is doing fine , I think they have had no cases of community transmission ever. From memory they shut the border first, obviously before community transmission had occured , now is open to most states. I think they got a bit lucky and not a high population.

  11.  @gericomy  my late mother used to say humans are a cancer on the earth. While I am not that pessimistic there is some truth to it because development only tends to go in one direction, the alternative view is we do take care of what's left better now, both have some truth.

  12. The UK only has self isolation upon arrival , voluntary in other words, there is no hotel quarantine. I just checked the government website and it tells you how to self isolate, this is nothing like hotel quarantine and compulsory testing otherwise stay is longer than 14 days.

  13.  @exopisode  if it started in August it's all throughout Europe already I would suspect and most likely the US.

  14. The videos I saw of farms I agree to a point. If free range I am ok with it but they were kept like battery hens.
