A man has been quarantined in Melbourne after contracting the deadly coronavirus.

The man, who showed no symptoms of the deadly virus, had been flying alone back from Wuhan in China last week.

There are seven other Australians, five in NSW, who have been quarantined over fears they could also have the virus.

Five people in NSW are being assessed for potential infection of the deadly strain of coronavirus after two patients were cleared on Friday.

Transportation in Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak, and at least 12 nearby cities has been shut down, effectively placing 36 million people into lockdown.

So far more than 850 people have been infected in China while France has had three people test positive - the disease's first appearance in Europe.

Two cases, including a Chicago woman returning from China, have been confirmed in the United States.

I wonder if our government is increasing stores of anti-viral medication? I sure hope so because there is no way we are going to keep this new virus out of our country.

2 yrs ago

We will probably have to purchase it from overseas and everyone and their dog will be wanting to purchase the same Ny19. I wonder where Australia will be in the queue?

This is another thing that needs to happen so we are not so reliant on others.

We should manufacture more medication and sell it overseas.

I read we are manufacturing some anti-viral vacine specific to coronavirus in QLD but it will take some 3 months to develop and in the meanwhile WHO is sitting on its hands.

... Australia is leading the way apparently trying to find a vaccine...but yes still a couple months or so away!

Interesting letters in today's paper from people ...one of the main concerns was the thousands of Chinese students who attend our Universities here in Oz - who have left the country to "go home" for the Lunar New Year?

Question being asked is this: What provinces have they been to? Will they be allowed back into the country to start this years Semister??

The ramifications are super problematic!

How frightening also to see the doctors in Chinese hospitals collapsing onto the floor and people simply collapsing in the streets? (mobile phone footage shown on Breakfast shows this morning - Sat)

What next will these sick units -- the Chows -- think of eating -- and more fool those that do -- utterly disgusting

These morons eat anything with 4 legs except a bloody table and chairs. No kidding. I am signing everything relating to the Yulin Festival these retards hold. Please DO NOT research this, remember once seen it can NEVER be erased. If you are animal lover, it will break your heart. They also eat puffer fish, starfish, crown of thorns starfish, and always raw fish too in some dishes, (as do the Japanese) but too much and the worms, maggots, friggin bugs anyway increase in the brain and of course there are side effects as these things eat through the brain matter. For god's sake, if you know this happens, don't eat it. Its like playing ball on the M1 at peak hour traffic, you know it wont end well.

They eat lizard, and multiple marsupials from the forests, and who in the hell knows what virus's they carry that are quite dormant within them, but to actually eat them is a different story. They are eating themselves out of all their wildlife.

Wasn't it that the aids virus and ebola started from eating bush animals?

Yes the Yulin festival is disgusting but remember these people do not compare eating dogs to eating cows, it is all the same to them.

AIDS/HIV: Scientists identified a type of chimpanzee in West Africa as the source of HIV infection in humans. They believe that the chimpanzee version of the immunodeficiency virus (called simian immunodeficiency virus or SIV) most likely was transmitted to humans and mutated into HIV when humans hunted these chimpanzees for meat and came into contact with their infected blood. Over decades, the virus slowly spread across Africa and later into other parts of the world. Source.

Ebola: Ebola virus was first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. Since then, the virus has been infecting people from time to time, leading to outbreaks in several African countries. Scientists do not know where Ebola virus comes from.

However, based on the nature of similar viruses, they believe the virus is animal-borne, with bats or nonhuman primates being the most likely source. Infected animals carrying the virus can transmit it to other animals, like apes, monkeys and humans. Source.

Thanks for the infor Rnr. So it makes sense that the current virus could be from eating wild animals too.

First Australian case of coronavirus confirmed

The patient is a Chinese man in his 50s who recently spent time in the city of Wuhan, where the deadly outbreak is believed to have originated in an illegal wildlife market. He is in a stable condition at the Monash Medical Centre in Melbourne where he is being held under isolation.

News of the case came after Chinese authorities said the death toll from the outbreak had jumped to 41, with 1,287 confirmed cases.

Full ABC story.

..... I'm going to put this here - so please don't all rush for the hills - yet :))

There has been a "conspiracy" theory around for many years now that the Chinese have been trying to find a virus that - if at war - would knock out any part of the world population they wanted/chose to! In turn they would move millions of their own people into "that" country .........and therefore start their "We will own the World" theory ...........

It has been suggested that Chinese medical "experts" have been working on a "killer virus" in one of the "secret" medical internment camps in the mountains (guarded by military) for quite sometime.

When I first heard this "conspiracy theory" - my instant thought was "Great - only take one "nasty minded person" or "one idiot" to get a phial of "whatever" and sprinkle some - here there .....and start killing people off slowly at first .............the mind boggles!!

Doesn't really take a Rhodes Scholar to figure out where the Chinese could go with this supposed "theory" - right?

* * * * *

Beemee - I know you often write about "conspiracy theories" in your posts - you might like this one? :)

NB: Brings to mind also - the Putin/Russia spy saga that killed innocent people in the U.K. with the so called "perfume" a year or so ago? Remember? How bizarre was that ......makes a person seriously wonder what "other countries" also might be working on?

Nothing like a "deadly" virus to control the masses. Anything is possible these days, as I am sure those in power fear over-population (well I do too but have no power). China tried the one child policy but looks like they are now having a lot more children.

Another reason not to eat the wildlife. The media is having a field day making the world panic, their favourite thing. Happens every couple of years. Great for the vaccine makers to get more funding. Sure take precautions but no more than what you do now with any cold,flu or respiratory viruses. Eat more fruit to boost your Vitamin C, take Olive leaf extract, anything to boost your immune system. (My opinions are just that and not meant to be medical advice).

You only have to watch the news, if it is not a new flu strain it is something else, seems every year we have a new virus.

Hmmmm .... musicveg don't think this new virus strain is a case of "Take a Bex and have a good lie down" lol

Also I realise the media can "hype" things up to the next level however this is one of the times I'm glad to hear about the updates of where it is spreading in the World and how many cases we have here in Oz etc. etc. ......

I also wonder WHY are we still allowing flights in from other Provinces in China? Guess you can't put the "world" on standby......

2 yrs ago

Foxy was not suggesting taking a bex and having a lie down, more that I think it is more important than ever to have a good healthy immune system, your odds are much better, and you have less chance of getting into the complication stage that causes death, the actual virus has not killed anyone yet.

And yes I wonder why they have not stopped flights too, authorities are not that worried. I am sick of the media hype, I have to turn it off, if it was that bad we would get direct warnings.

..... I know :)

Just heard on the News tonight that in the past few days since Australia has become aware of this virus hitting our shores and with people in quarantine..........

43 Flights ........... from various cities/provinces in China have landed in Oz!

If that is not a freakin' worry - what is????

Also saw some young Chinese guy at Melb. Airport wearing a white face mask - advising Australian authorities to stop all flights in from his country!!!!! ROFLMFAO ......

Three cases of coronavirus confirmed in NSW, one in Victoria.

All three NSW cases are being treated in hospitals across Sydney. They are men aged in their 30s, 40s and 50s and contracted the illness in China. NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard says four other cases are currently under investigation. Some of those being tested are children.

Australia's Chief Medical Officer Professor Brendan Murphy moved to reassure the public that the risk from the disease was low. "Unless you have come into contact with someone who is unwell from that part of China, there is no need for concern," he said.

Yep it is very possible China is preparing to win the domination of the planet if they are so lucky to buy out all the islands or other countries they need to have that control. May as well test it on their own people first and if it works, then store it for future use.

Fact is we are almost at 8 million people https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/#countries and it gives various other headings on this site too. The world can only handle 10 billion people when counting in food production to feed all of them. BUT, that would apply to facts NOW, not 5 - 10 or 20 years from now when more coal, gas and oil explorations go ahead and done in our highly productive food growing areas. I think the year 2057 for reaching 10 billion is a bit far fetched. There is another theory on the conspiracy site I am on too, they believe that China is behind the virus and they will find a fix quickly, but no one else will have it. That way on today's population count and we will use the USA as one example....331,002,651 and China has 1,439,323,776 now if USA was cut in half and China increased by half, who would be ruling the world ???? Worth a thought and sometime these conspiracy theories aren't too extreme when one gives serious thought to them.

This also could/will happen. In South Africa the are poisoning the vultures. WRONG! Watch for bacteria, virus's, toxins, etc that vultures keep in check. Anthrax for example that could get totally out of control in Tanzania that seems to infect the hippo population more so, the vultures eat the carcase and so stop the spreadof Anthrax.

It truly will come a time where they will say..."You don't know what you had till its gone!"
