The World Health Organization has warned that recovering from coronavirus might not protect people from reinfection as the death toll from the pandemic passed 200,000 around the globe.



I will never in my life understand why there are people hostile to the the idea of refugees trying to restart their lives in Australia, as Australians.
What kind of nincompoop looks at someone willing to don scrubs and save Australian lives working emergency support on A FREAKIN’ CORONAVIRUS WARD and thinks: “Yeah, shove *that guy* in detention for three years, cool plan. Heaps to gain.”
Noor Ali Akbari, thank you for your courage and the risks you are taking for this community - on behalf of all Australians. Even the stupid ones.

Ahead of the curve: five other countries winning the battle against coronavirus




Countries that succeed in tackling their infection rates - such as Australia - have many different challenges, but one common enemy: the coronavirus.

 Great to see News Corpse's loud IPA voice has had no traction. Since the beginning of April, the echo of John Roskam could be heard the less than original  Andrew Bolt who has been amplifying the IPA message that it's to come out and play the virus is not more than the common flu and we have defeated it. No reference is made to our lack of equipment and staff to do the required testing that would be needed to accompany the move. Nor any lack of stockpiles should a second wave take hold as in Singapore and Japan. To them, Australia is a planet disconnected from the rest of the world and should be except that is for trade.
   We know very little about Roskam's lifestyle but Bolt certainly does not practise what he preaches. He will continue his social distancing and what he calls the un-Australian lifestyle and currently encourage the rest of his family to do the same. His voice is loud, yes but his intelligence and the IPA message he spreads ignored but by a minute few. The vast majority of Australians think quite the opposite.
 Does it bother him should he dumped like he was from 2GB? No not really because as long as  Roskam is CEO of the IPA they will support him with payola in so many other ways as they have in the past? IPA podcasts boosted his ego as did the book of fake facts and opinions on Climate Change they published.  His son was and is employed by them in what is really a "family" business of circular quid pro quos. It's been a never-ending story really and will continue to be for some time to come even if Bolt's advertisers and Murdoch does dump him. Bolt's unique is there another media person whose only ever really been employed by Murdoch for some 30 years? However, if News Corp his organ-grinder decided to dump him there'd be another monkey to take his place. I suspect Bolt would hope it was his son who has been moulded in his image except with one exception he at least did get the tertiary education his father didn't. (ODT)

 

We have data on which workers have been hit hardest by coronavirus. And the numbers are truly staggering 

 There's a hot debate raging about how and when the lockdown should be lifted. And there is another debate brewing about what changes we need to make — and whether we need radical economic policy reform — to deal with the big issues that have been thrown up by this crisis, writes Laura Tingle.

FAKE NEWS 

Image may contain: possible text that says 'WELCOME TO SCIENCE HELL, PROFE PROFESSOR. SSOR THIS IS TONY, He ONCE SAW SOMETHING ON ON THE INTERNET ABOUT YOUR FIELD OF EXPERTISE AND IS GOING TO SPEND ET ETERNITY LECTURING YOU ON IT. 1.'

It's Andrew's job too and he thinks it's productive!!

 

TURNBULL THE PLOTTER SOUGHT HELP FROM MURDOCH EMPIRE

WHAT HE WON'T TELL Malcolm Turnbull: "Abbott and others and their friends in the Murdoch media and the right-wing media generally, they overthrew my government." Piers Akerman, Murdoch columnist: "Malcolm actively sought my editorial endorsement when he rolled the sitting Liberal member for Wentworth... and before he rolled then Opposition leader Brendan Nelson."

One wonders what on earth this is meant to prove? Murdoch media once courted Whitlam does that mean they are not a self-interested business first and a news service last but a PR agency for the elite? The ALP has asked favours of and lunched with Murdoch the pitbull too.  I apologise for the offence to Pitbulls. The fact is not what people once tried to do, pat Murdoch. Give Turnbull some credit he was trying to be a politician and found the turd was a turd. That wasn't lipstick on Murdoch's lips but blood. It doesn't make him a plotter only naive. 
Bolt, however, is a moron if he believes he's polishing  News Corp at the expense of Turnbull and trying to impress. In fact, he's doing the opposite showing them up for A-holes they really are.  Bolt's simply throwing the dung on himself dragging his knuckles on the ground and laughing because Turnbull thought News Corp might really be nice guys for once.(ODT)

BIDEN ACCUSER'S STORY GETS STRONGER: THE CALL TO LARRY KING IN 1993

Tara Reade claimed Joe Biden digitally raped her in 1993. She said she told her late mother. Now a recording has emerged of what she says is of her mother ringing Larry King on air some months after the alleged rape, saying her daughter couldn't "get through with her problems” with "a prominent senator" and did not want to go to the media. Listen.

Pell's innocent Biden's guilty no need for trials and due process it a waste of money either way.  A conservative's opinion like Bolt's does it all and with no expense. No, it's all expense to any notion of news, information and justice and the common good is held up as a value as opposed to particular interests as opposed to 12 random jurists to judge.
 The conservatives have always known how to get down and play dirty in a political stoush. They have the money to run a professional dirt brigade. Does anyone for a moment think that this new news about Biden, just recently stumbled on by accident? It's been held in abeyance for an appropriate moment to create a distraction away from  Trump. No doubt intended to be used much closer to the election but Trump really has done it with his briefings
 The issue is should be how would 12 representative Americans judge Trump and Biden should they face due process? In the US Trump would opt for the process to go all the way to the Supreme Court Biden wouldn't. Both nevertheless ought to be thoroughly investigated and if they both had cases that need to be heard who would swallow the bleach. We know Trump would hand it to Biden.
The reporting of course all Fox News.
