How many non-Asian researchers can you spot in this photo? The world is full of racists, and they brand people according to their skin colour, or the country of birth. However, if these victimised people faces are not revealed, and true identities including name changed not disclosed, biased racism seem to take the back burner.

Scott Morrison has signed letters of intent with numerous countries to buy potential Covid-19 vaccines, but as far as information available to the public, China is not in the list. Is the government really working for the good of Australians, or it is another childish quabble not to buy anything from China, even if the vaccine could potentially save lives?

Make friends, not foes.

I have nothing more to comment.

South Korea in ‘grave situation’ after biggest coronavirus outbreak in five months

Commenting on "South Korea in ‘grave situation’ after biggest coronavirus outbreak in five months"

South Korea has a surge again.

Many religious leaders around the world, including the recent one in California, are doing injustice to the followers. Are they spreading fake gospel and teaching, leading the followers in believing that their lives will be spared or protected from the pandemic

Should they encourage the followers continue to attend mass services against health authority advice and government order?

Is a good reason to ask followers to attend in person. It is not the same to donate to a bank account to an online preacher broadcasting over the Internet. Many older people are not savvy with the technology, and donations are not forthcoming without their presence.

Mega religious establishments with annual income in tens of millions of dollars do not have to submit any financial reports to the government, and therefore how much money collected, whose pockets are lined, are not disclosed.

These big gatherings cannot observe social distancing, and normally they are in an enclosed assembly area. It is also as a tradition to hug and kiss as expression of love to their fellow believers

In order to avoid another lockdown, do not be too impatient to attend large gathering, especially with the congregation singing. Your life is precious, and do not throw it away.

PS many believers think that the end of the world is near, because many of the signs coincide with what were written in the Book of Revelation. Well, if the world does not end this time, there will always be another similar occurrence that fits reasonably well with the content of the Book!

Hong Kong third wave: coronavirus may have stopped mutating, making it more infectious

Commenting on "Hong Kong third wave: coronavirus may have stopped mutating, making it more infectious
https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3095062/hong-kong-third-wave-coronavirus-may-have-stopped

I have a hypothesis why children appear to be dormant spreaders at present.

The virus has "intelligence". It relies on a host to multiply and spread. According to a report in HK, the process of mutation seems to have stopped in Hong Kong, because the genome of the virus of infected incoming travellers from other nearby Asian countries seem to be the same as the Hong Kongers’. What this means, the virus has mutated and adapted to the human body environment. That also implies the virus is now more infectious, dangerous and powerful.

The European, UK and US virus variants are different from the Chinese, and that can only be explained by mutation to adapt to the different genetic makeup of non-Asian / non-Chinese

When the virus infected a child, it "knows" the life span of the child is longer, and adapt to the child's body environment, and multiple without causing the host to die, and therefore the child exhibits no symptoms. The virus stay low until the right time to strike, and even with the discovery of vaccine, it may not be able to counteract the the mutated virus.

I can't think of any explanation except to base on the "theory" related to "the survival of the fittest".

Very young children are much shorter than an adult, and any aerosol that carries the virus eventually fall due to gravity is likely to be the same as "light illumination intensity", inversely proportional to the radius square. The viral load is much lower as it gets closer to the ground.

Young children also has small palm surface area, and also contributes to less virus adhere to the contact area.

Shocking TV advertising campaign about the coronavirus is coming. But when?

Shocking TV advertising campaign about the coronavirus will be shown on television soon. This linked video is likely to be the first, but it is graphic and shocking enough for the young, the rebellious anti-maskers and those who only think their rights overrides everybody else.

A few weeks ago, I proposed a number of ideas of graphic shocking advertisement ideas, and this is one of the proposals. I did contact via Messenger some TV stations including Channel 7 Channel 9, Channel 10 and SBS about my proposals.

97,000 kids test positive for COVID-19 in two weeks

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/97000-kids-test-positive-for-covid-19-in-two-weeks-report-says/ar-BB17J8T7

At long last, the bad news is out and confirmed. WHO and news media did not give enough warning and air time to warn the public about the danger of children getting infected. They are just as vulnerable as the adults and may die like the aged.

Just ask yourself the simple question - children can easily contract whooping cough, cold and flu, measles, small pox, polio, why shouldn’t they get infected by the COVID-19 just as easily?

The third wave is inevitable and more dangerous than before, and is likely spread by the super spreaders - the children.

I kept blogging that we must use our commonsense instead of waiting for the painstaking statistics collection. We must take preemptive action to test the children, and no news is NOT necessary good news. It’s like the an ostrich burying it’s head in the sand not wanting to accept the realty of such simple logic. Despite every attempt conducted by the government to contact trace, and yet there still remains many unknown sources. The unknown source is just metres away - the children.

Adults have to observe social distancing, and yet children are exempted. The children need not wear mask too. Parents and adults carry children, hug them, and kiss them without thinking that the children can get infected unknowingly by the adults who may be asymptomatic, and conversely, the children may be a carrier and spread to the parents, their siblings and anyone in close proximity.

If you are a member or follower of my FB group, SFC Coronavirus News & Articles, you would have read about my strong words concerning the restriction ruling, and my opposition letting children to return to schools with face-to-face contact.

Plase do not take your young children for granted that they are safe and free from the virus. It is not going overboard by wearing a mask at home if you want to be close to young children.

This is strongest condemnation of Trump‘s nonsensical crap about children being almost immune to the virus.

I cannot understand how his supporters share his views, and his way of handling the pandemic. It is crystal clear that many innocent are dying, not only the aged, but the young and children too.

Either he has gone senile, or his brain has been damaged by the virus, the things that come out from his mouth make no sense to any rational person.

Please do not take his words on the subject of this pandemic. The disease is fatal, and no one is spared. So stay home if you have no urgent matter to go out for, do the right thing, wear mask, wash hands under running water for 20 seconds, and stay safe.

Thank you for reading.

New Evidence Suggests Young Children Spread Covid-19 More Efficiently Than Adults

https://www.forbes.com/sites/williamhaseltine/2020/07/31/new-evidence-suggests-young-children-spread-covid-19-more-efficiently-than-adults/

This is the prediction I made and I wish it will never realise. However, I believe my fear will surface soone

I have blogged repeatedly that my biggest fear is that children will be the super spreaders who cause the biggest wave of infection and fatality.

I really want to see that all children tested, whether they show signs of infection or not, because they are more than likely to be asymptomatic and with long incubation.

Until now, I still cannot work out how medical professionals and scientists hold the opinion that children are considered low risk, without sufficient number of children being tested.

My logic tells me otherwise, and more research must be done hopefully to remove that myth.

I just want to reiterate that children are so susceptible to many diseases and viral infection, such as whooping cough, small pox, measles, polio, etc., and therefore it makes no sense that they can escape this deadly pandemic.

It is just nonsensical that children are exempted from wearing masks, because the existing statistics tell those experts so. Infant infection cases and mortality are slowing increasing, as reported by children hospital. If the researches in the the linked article are proven realisable and correct, then parents with infected children are likely to have a higher viral load because of their close proximity to the children.

I was brought up in a family with Chinese background, and my early childhood illnesses were cured by herbal medicine. Avoidance of eating certain foods for different type of coughs, and inclusion of offals for iron essential for the red blood cells were common.

Such practices worked, despite the lack of scientific evidence, data or hard statistics to prove the effectiveness until later years when herbal medicine became an accepted discipline to pursue in universities in China and abroad.

In an early study by the China authority, children were found as easily infected as adults, but they were asymptomatic. Will any of our states take an proactive preemptive strike to study the infection rate of young children and whether they will present a big risk to the community?

Prevention is better than cure.

Daniel Andrew's procrastination and weak punishment system cause more and suffering

Daniel Andrew's procrastination and weak punishment system cause more and suffering

For the past few weeks, I was really mad at the state government, led by Daniel Andrews, being so weak in imposing stricter restrictions and harsher penalty on those flouting the laws.

Procrastination only defers the inevitable, but the consequence is much worse, because it brings about longer period of pain and suffering to the individuals and the economy.

There were enough examples around the world that quick action in shutting a city can curb the spread of the virus much faster and more effectively. Just because China is run by CCP, New Zealand a small country, and Taiwan an island as big as Tasmania, give no excuse for Melbourne for not taking a leaf from their success stories.

I am still waiting for the the graphic advertisements to be shown on television, now that people are housebound, especially during the curfew hours between 8pm and 5am.

If the government does not “brain wash” those stubborn, rebellious sceptics now, I can bet my dollars on another shut down. These campaigns are more than “brain washing”, they should also be instructional and educational.

Thank you for reading.
