SARS was 2002 and my understanding it had a real chance of kicking off a pandemic. With whatever variants of Covid that will pop up in the devoloping world I think once in a hundred year pandemics will be wishful thinking.

With whatever variants of Covid that will pop up in the devoloping world I think once in a hundred year pandemics will be wishful thinking. SARS was not easy to get infected with so it was not a good pandemic candidate virus. However it did point to Coronaviruses actually being able to be pandemic capable. They now think the common cold was the actual virus that caused the 1890 pandemic rather than a unfluenza virus - theres more evidence a coronavirus will tend to become less of an issue over time much like the common cold did. Delta more likely evolved in response to lockdowns and more difficulty to being able to be spread. Pandemics arent really a 1 in 100 year thing they are more common. This pandemic only def recently passed the death toll of 1968 flu for instance. CAT INTERCEPTOR fucked around with this message at 06:55 on Oct 15, 2021 |

Turns out a similar virus will kill a few million million people instead for no particular reason!

A silly question: So Palmer/Kelly and his party of nutjobs clearly have federal ambitions. And act as a spoiler in federal elections, taking primary votes away from Labor and directing preferences to the Libs or Nats. Do they have the same ambitions at state level? Coz I don't remember hearing about them doing anything in any of the last state elections.

Somehow Morrison says poo poo that kinda sounds sensible and pushes back against NSW Dom https://www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...015-p590ep.html quote:Vaccinated Australian citizens, residents and their families – now including overseas-based parents – will be allowed to freely enter NSW from next month, but the federal government is not yet allowing business travellers, skilled migrants or international students. THAT .... actually seems like a resonable border reopening plan? Aussies freely allowed to leave from Nov 1, Vaccinated citizens / permanent residents and NSW related familes allowed in, other states as per rules now.

Senor Tron posted:Let's hope we actually have another century before the next "once in a century" pandemic. If we lose out on the dice roll and something else comes up in the next decade or two I really don't think the world will deal well with it at all. Due to global warming and the continued deforestation of the worlds dwindling natural ecosystems, the chance of someone catching a novel virus from a once rare interaction with an exotic species continues to rise. So no, once in a century has definitely gone down. If we're lucky some of the people who survived this one will be around for the next one and we can actually take lessons from it, unlike ignoring many of the lessons of the Spanish flu. Maybe we'll get famous and the Hendra virus will kick off in Queensland. A nice tropical pandemic for a new hotter world.

Plus there are concerns that climate change might unleash some novel to the modern era pathogens that could be currently chilling out under tundra. Part of the scary thing with the global response to COVID is it reveals how horribly we are equipped to deal with an expected future of novel or novel in scale/frequency disasters.

Perrotet is an impulsive toddler grabbing the toy of reopening the borders and Morrison is another toddler snatching it and going "NO! I want to open the borders!" But it was punched up by departmental advisors so he didn't sound like he was throwing a tantrum. You just know he got a phone call and his aides were all 'turn on the abc' or 'read this article' and Morrison went 'that fat poo poo, I'm gonna smear him on the walls of Engadine McDonalds for this, get me a press release!'

This is the same guy that posted on their company Facebook page “free legal advice to Victorians, fight mask fines in court they can’t prosecute you all” and later had to clarify that this shouldn’t in fact be taken as legal advice. I’m no law talking guy, but I feel like misrepresenting a judges decision to this extent in your case, and arguably inciting murder by doing so, is probably pretty close to contempt of court?

Eediot Jedi posted:There's a follow up tweet where someone is asking if they can start going after people on their list and this great law genius is like "sure". Would love to see this becoming a prosecution for inciting to kill or commit violence. Question for any law goons, regarding this article: https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/blow-em-up-bro-cops-confronted-explosive-scene-in-high-seas-raid-of-drug-boat-20210625-p584c3.html So the boat was stopped and boarded at 150nm from the coast, my understanding is that although within the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone, it's not territorial waters. So wouldn't the NSWPOL/AFP be engaging in piracy by boarding the boat? EEZ only gives rights over economic resources, not full legal jurisdiction (which are supposed to end at 12nm) so I'm surprised this happened so far out from the coastline. I assume it's just a "what are you going to do, stop us?" and makes me wonder what would happen if the ship had the means to repel boarders. Anyone with a gold fringed flag that's read up on this stuff? Capt.Whorebags fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Oct 16, 2021 |

Capt.Whorebags posted:Would love to see this becoming a prosecution for inciting to kill or commit violence. I assume it's because they're Australian citizens/residents...? Something similar happened a while ago where the RAN intercepted an international drug smuggling boat somewhere way out in the Indian ocean, closer to India or Africa than us, and I can't recall if the crew were arrested but the cargo was definitely seized and destroyed, and I was confused by the legal implications of that. edit - it was this: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-11-03/high-seas-war-on-drugs/8966752 And it says this but doesn't really go into any deeper detail: quote:The Australians have authority to board and search the boat under international law and Australia’s maritime powers legislation. It also suggests they could have brought them back to Australia for prosecution even though they're not Australian citizens and the only reason they didn't was resourcing/manpower, not lack of legal grounds: quote:The Australians search, seize and destroy the drugs from dhows. But they won’t seize the dhow, or detain the suspected smugglers — to do so, they would potentially have to bring them back to Australia for prosecution. freebooter fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Oct 16, 2021 |
