Australia sees huge decrease in flu cases due to coronavirus measures

Australia recorded just 229 flu cases this April, compared with 18,705 last April, probably due to lockdown measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus

The latest data are very encouraging, to this day it continues, even if the lockdown is over. Australians put on masks and wash their hands often.

Passenger aboard WestJet flight from Toronto to Montreal infected with COVID-19

https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5679426

“A passenger aboard a WestJet flight from Toronto to Montreal on Friday was found to be positive for COVID-19, the airline says.
WestJet says it was advised by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) of the positive case before Flight 592 landed in Montreal just before 6:30 p.m.
After it landed, the plane was held at a gate and met by public health personnel and law enforcement, WestJet says.“.....” The statement also says WestJet will "continue to assist the 57 guests and our crew who were on board."
The passenger did not pass through any airport facilities, a spokesperson from the Montreal Airport said.”....


Wondering if these Passengers were traveling for Work, or leisure?
Does WestJet require ALL on the Plane to wear a Mask?

“Face mask policy
As of Monday, April 20th at 12pm EDT, Transport Canada requires that all guests have a non-medical mask or face covering to cover their mouth and nose during travel.
When travelling by air, you will be required to cover your mouth and nose:

• at Canadian airport screening checkpoints
• while boarding your flight
• at all times during the flight
• when instructed to by a crew member

All guests must be in possession of their own face mask or non-medical mask. Failure to have one, could result in a denial of boarding....”


Says 57 Guests.... wonder if that WestJet Plane was Seating 2 x 2 or 1 x 2. Not much Room to Social Distance....

Says “The passenger did not pass through any airport facilities, a spokesperson from the Montreal Airport said....”

The Passenger went Toronto to Montreal.
How did the Passenger get on/off the Plane?

“After it landed, the plane was held at a gate and met by public health personnel and law enforcement, WestJet says....”

Was the Passenger traveling knowing they were COVID-19 Positive?
What’s the Ripple effect of being in Contact with this Passenger?
Again, what is the Need to Travel?



***NO VACCINE...WEAR A MASK...STAY LOCAL***

Sounds like it could be an alternate ending for The movie The 12 Monkeys. If everyone was wearing a mask let’s hope that’s enough to prevent this from becoming a super spreader event.

This is the one they tested on prisoners? Do we know how many of them spiked fevers and died?

 

[donbusch]

Things must really be bad in Russia for Putin to make such a reckless move. But not totally unexpected seeing as Russia’s main exports like oil & weapons r way down due to Covid-19. Reeks of desperation.

^^^^^ Yeah, probably no one will even know they have it " if " they do get it.
It would be the same as saying everyone walking down the street is exposed, big deal.
I wish the reporting would be something like.
36,000,000 people, 0.03% caught this deadly virus. 0.0025% died from it.
Lock down now, wear masks and destroy the economy.
Sorry but getting tired of the media.
Enjoy the day.

Russia for sure did a viral Challenge on prisoners. There’s no way they could get a workable vaccine put this quick. N also, notice how USA is now building their own SARS-2 virus to use in potential viral vaccine challenge studies.

 

[Fradi]

I am almost certain this is not the first or last attempt by Russia or China for viral challenges on prisoners.
The stakes are high not only for $$ but prestige as well for being the first to develop a working vaccine .
Human life means little to these governments.

The United States will extend to a ban on non-essential travel at land borders with Canada and Mexico for another 30 days as several states struggle to contain a coronavirus outbreak, a top U.S. official confirmed Friday:

Travel restrictions to be extended at U.S. land borders, DHS says

More than half of medics surveyed in Russia have said they do not trust the COVID-19 vaccine touted by President Vladimir Putin as the country announced it had started its widespread production

In an online survey of more than 3,000 healthcare professionals via the Doctor's Handbook app, 52 percent of medics said they would not take the vaccine.

Of those doubters, nearly two-thirds, or 66 percent, said there was not enough data proving that it was effective, and just under a half, or 48 percent, said it had been developed too quickly.

Production of COVID-19 Vaccine Starts in Russia, Medics Refuse to Take It

Russia's health ministry said production has started on the vaccine called "Sputnik V," but 52 percent of medics surveyed online said they would not take it yet.

An important nuance, this is not a unilateral decision by the US.
To dance it takes two.

It means the two countries will continue their mutual ban on non-essential cross-border travel until at least Sept. 21.

Maybe Jared went to school there. Apparently he thinks that the US is doing ok on coronavirus deaths at 1500 deaths/day below the peak of 2500 deaths/day in May

Yes, that's what the article says. Unlike a common misnomer that it was not as in the example below. "Because Americans actually have this tendency for excess" was never mentioned by either countries during this dance of two.

Wow, poor my Pillow guy. Anderson gave him a beating. Instead of talking about a lack of evidence for oleander working for covid, he just went on a rant insulting the my pillow guy. felt bad for him, but he is peddling bullshit, which Anderson didn’t focus on @ all. Talked more about his biz. Anywhoo, kinda makes me want to buy pillows from this dude and beat him and Anderson both silly

Wuhan, berceau du coronavirus, prend un bain de techno sans distanciation

Pas de masque, pas de geste barrière, rien ne va

www.20minutes.fr

No, but it's okay, we don't bother you too much? Thousands of Chinese braved the most basic barrier gestures in Wuhan, the epicenter of the coronavirus, during a mega techno party in a water park that was causing a stir on social media this Monday.

To be sure, China, where Covid-19 emerged late last year, has largely brought the virus under control since then, with just a few dozen new daily cases reported in recent days by official records.

Perhaps we should keep a little gene.
In addition, the new cases are in the 20-40 age group.

 

[cloudsurf]

What`s wrong with this picture ?
Wuhan has a rock party with thousands not social distancing and not a mask in sight, while Florida has more covid19 cases in a day than the combined European Union.
