  1. I'm an aussie umpire. A goal umpire.
    Our season locally has been suspended until may 31 2020.
    All because of this covid-19.

    I'm just looking out for you knowing you are learning how to become a fantastic chef.

    I Read Some Time Ago That You Have Been Stood Down For LIFE From Any Further Umpire Duties

    By The Football Association After You Somehow Managed To Break Your Arm Whilst Umpiring

    A Match..........The Reason Given Was That You Were Legally Too Much Of A Liability

    To The League....... :rolleyes:



    Cheers Glen.

    Special achievement.
    No respect for a valued football servant. Must be nearing life membership.

    Not so much all that

    Before all this average income in Hubei was $US10,400....a year. Means most of them didn't have any savings and have been locked down for 61 days not working, no income.

    How many tests they have conducted, who knows, but I doubt they have gone past a Million for the whole country

    Most of the videos on Facebook do seem like propaganda or at least only the positive ones have been through the censors

    And I just checked, all those new cases and deaths are in Hubei

    Just too many things make you go hmmmm mmmm

    Earlier in the thread, I mentioned a biosecurity expert on Rogan claiming they couldn't bioengineer new viruses in the lab, after reading this I have no clue what he's talking about...

    Ethical Questions Arise After Scientists Brew Super Powerful 'SARS 2.0' Virus

    More than a decade after its outbreak, the name "SARS" still incites memories of worldwide panic over a disease that, we thought at the time, couldn't be stopped. Now, 13 years later, scientists have created a hybrid version of a virus that could be the world's next pandemic, a "SARS 2.0."

    In order to study the virus in a lab, scientists created a "chimaeric virus," or a hybrid made of protein and the structure of a SARS virus. Critics say that the benefit isn't worth it to isolate a virus that, theoretically, could escape the lab and infect people.

    ^ Nvm, I dug a bit deeper and apparently that was already found in bats before that research.

    VG has been calling this SARS 2 which is somewhat inaccurate.

    Sure SARS was a coronavirus but what’s different is you can be asymptomatic with COVID-19 and still infect other people, whereas with SARS it took 5 to 6 days so by the time you were sick,
    you were likely already in the hospital before you could pass it on to others, which made all the difference in the world.

    That’s why this is much worse.

    Forget what I said before

    It's air pollution.

    That's the 5th co-contributor

    Age
    Pre-existing conditions related to blood pressure
    Smoking
    Seasonal Temperature
    Living in a city with shitty air pollution for 20 years

    Hubei, North Italy, Tehran ( where most of the Iranian cases were) these are all industrial hubs.

    Germany you've lowered your air pollution dramatically in the last two decades

    It's official name is Sars-CoV-2 and they have already mapped it's sequence and shown it's a different strain of Sars-CoV

    Not really inaccurate at all

    The proper scientific name for the virus in the article I linked which they referred to as SARS 2.0 is SHCO14-CoV

    I was not in disagreement with you, I was attempting to clarify the other one, I thought it being referred to as Sars 2.0 might've been confusing.
