Too late, I think most of us already have the chip from immunisation. Everytime I go near my radio it interferes with it. I mustn't have got a CE checked one.

re Europe... This is a bit of a read but it's interesting how Germany has fared better than pretty much all their neighbours

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/04/w...eath-rate.html

.According to this at least they've had nowhere near the fatality rate than most despite well over 100,000 cases now . Even better than South Korea too which is lauded as a leader in Asia. We're roughly half the rate of them at the minute . South Korea about 1.8% , Germany 1.6% and we're still less than 1%. We must be doing something right I guess .

From Twitter RelaxedQLDer

#Perspective #COVID__19 #WuhanVirus

>300,000 cases of influenza in Australia in 2019.

>900 deaths (0.3%) recorded in 2019.

~20,000 cases of influenza so far (before season).

>6000 cases of #WuhanVirus in 2020 here. 60 deaths. $300B+ sucked out of our economy.

Perspective...

If you want to read the actual report published on the 16th March that made Trump change his attitude on Covid-19, you can read it here.

It's fairly technical, but shows what could have happened in the US, if action was not taken.

“Debunked”..

The first reference is to information provided from the WHO...

Don’t think that will be a source that will settle down alternative theory’s in the current climate.

Search “How come Australia suddenly has billions of dollars to pay for welfare.”
I don’t know how to add a link, it is a news report that talks about pulling cash out of your bum.
Will they ever actually pay it back ?

Agreed.

The photo below is of Tedros Adhanom, Director General of the World Health Organization shaking hands with Chinese President Xi Jinping before a meeting on January 28, 2020 in Beijing, China. Well after the Coronavirus had been released to the entire world. Have a look at the body language and tell me who is the puppy dog here? China has had the W.H.O. under it's thumb for decades.

The Prime Minister has a printer in his office.
He just hits the print button to generate more money.
There is no need to be worried.

Over the last 2 weeks since my post above, there have been more and more evidence emerging to support the theory that this virus was not a result of human consumption of "bats" at a Huanan "seafood market". This Covid-19 is a man made "synthetic" virus. It is the result of the CCP's research into a bio chemical weapon (a deadly influenza like virus that easily transmits between humans) that accidentally escaped the Wuhan Institute of Virology. I say accidentally because I still cannot fathom that the Chinese Communist Party could have leaked the virus on purpose.

It is really interesting to look at the winners and losers.

I looked at the top 1,000 losers, still didn't get to cruise lines.
