This joke seems to be popular in New Zealand at present - I have been sent it by several Kiwis and a Pom (Brit) who is trapped there.

You really need to have spent some time there to appreciate it

God was recently seen in New Zealand. When asked what he was doing there, his answer was "Working from home, Bro."

This is one time that the Chinese should have kept what they made. I highly suspect that this is no natural virus because no one was catching it before. Not only that, the "Bat" virus has been around for thousands of years and never effected anyone until now.

the Chinese made a mess of it and now we're all in trouble. Problem is that they didn't learn from it, so it will happen again.

Word is that disease was found to be in a fresh food market, which includes fresh bat.

In yesterday's briefing here in the UK i found it interesting that on the graph showing number of deaths i other countries they removed China from the list, it has been on since these briefings began ?

 

[Harold1071]

They claim their death rate is lower than the USA which is at the moment over 50,000. Last time I saw a number it was under 20,000. This is hard to believe.

 

[Harold1071]

Latest rate for China is 8,632.

 

[Harold1071]

Correction 4,632, even lower.

New study casts more doubt on true scale of China's coronavirus outbreak

The media in the UK, particularly the BBC, now seem to be directing their attention to anything to do with the possible easing of 'lockdown'.
After their frenzy over 'Brexit', I wonder how long it will be be before they start calling it 'Loxit' ?!!!!

That will be because they did a total lockdown of the city from the rest of China as soon as they knew it was on the loose and allowed anyone who wanted to travel internationally to go and spread the disease as widely as possible while still pretending it did not exist. Idiot nations, bl00dy near all, like lemmings sent in planes to bring the disease home and many did not have or enforce quarantine until far too late.

Today in Australasia is ANZAC day, the day we honour our war dead and those that served with dawn parades, other parades and a public holiday.

For many years part of this has involved the flyover of most daytime parades by warbirds and the daytime parades are staggered so that the flyover takes place about mid parade at most locations.

This year our Chief Medical Officer proved what a complete and utter moron she is by banning the flyovers.

Three warbirds in the Bundaberg region and one on the Sunshine coast ignored the ban and flew their schedule anyway.

I wonder if they will be prosecuted. I doubt it with an election in six months.
