CV and mad panic behaviour

[capcom]

Research shows that even a small decrease in speed significantly reduces the likelihood of a crash. If a crash does occur, slower speeds limit the severity of injuries. According to the Monash University Accident Research Centre, reducing speed by 11% would reduce road deaths by 40%.

Very very questionable IMO and in any event, would that apply to all current zones?

29  new cases in NSW ...

Insidious threat, but we knew that long ago.  We're all gonna have to live with this and the massive hit on the economy.  Wuhan wet markets, my arse.

Gladys is going to have to chow down on humble pie very soon... bet she's regretting her criticisms of Vic. She should be thinking of her population, not political one-ups-manship. Wonder what Rita P from the HUN will write... after pumping up Gladys' tyres over Vic.

Spot on, CC old cock. And I think the whole world knows that bloody thing escaped from a lab. In a few years China will be slapped with the biggest class action you've ever seen. Won't pay it, but the loss of face (behind closed doors) will be massive... they'll deny it forever, now that they've destroyed the lab and any person who could blab.

How about you wait till they have 800 deaths before getting excited.

Hopefully it won't come to that MBB. 

The NSW Government is getting stuck into the Commonwealth about the vaccine rollout, and so they should.

The Commonwealth has really dragged the chain with vaccination and quarantine, the only two realistic measures with the potential to limit COVID's impact.

On a slightly different topic, I am reading Alice Roberts "Ancestors" and I was interested to read that the scientists extracting DNA from ancient human skeletal remains also extract ancient disease DNA and are able to track the evolution of those diseases.  For example, the plague was around much earlier than previously known and underwent mutations that changed its method of transmission and mortality.

Now there's a study published in "Current Biology" that found a coronavirus epidemic broke out in East Asia around 25,000 years ago and lasted 20,000 years  :o

I should add that there's another study indicating that a major COVID-19 genetic risk factor is inherited from Neanderthals!

Chinese lied about Live Bat's being held at that lab and we assisted with Research at Geelong where there were also live bat's. The Who investigation was a sham and that creepy Batwoman head of that Wuhan lab knows exactly what went on but is toeing the Party line.

I find absolutely nothing to get excited about regarding human suffering and death or Gladys' breathtaking shallowness/politicking.
