I think you missed the plane,

I think you missed the significance of the picture...

I think you missed the plane,

I'll give you a clue. Look at the brand...

One positive that has come is the reduction in the number of aircraft been flown which should reduce the amount of greenhouse gases produced.

CoVid 19 could be more effective than Greta T.

Not "should" it definitely has, and it has not just been planes but from fewer vehicle movements and reduced industrial pollution - earlier on in this thread I speculated on the reduction in deaths from the reduction in PM2.5. NASA has published some satellite images showing the drop in air pollution over China and Europe, especially Italy.

BTW some research has shown that somewhere between 20 and 70% of persons with no classical symptoms that test positive for COVID19 experience a concurrent loss of sense of smell. Currently this is not a criteria for testing but looks like it soon will be, so if you suddenly lose your sense of smell but still fell OK then maybe see a doc

Three days ago Australia had round 300 cases of COVID19, and it's well know the doubling rate appears to be ~3 days
OK its been 3 days and here we are today with 636 cases.
The numbers we see today are because of (a lack of) decisions made around 2 weeks ago.
Projecting that forward, unless something drastic is done today, in 2 weeks time we will have ~20,000 people with this virus.
I guess this is what we get when we let Pollies be in charge of a Public Medical Crisis.

OK here we are 3 days further on again, and we are "bang on target" with 1200 and something cases.
What this means is the changes made 2 weeks ago made SFA difference

Again, changes made TODAY (not next Tuesday) will take about 2 weeks to see any effects , so by then we will be at ~38000 cases.
Only when the doubling rate starts to increase will we know if we have any sort of a handle on this this.

We've been lucky with deaths but that's likely to change dramatically especially if we get into "medical over run" territory.

It reminds me of a couple of dudes driving down a high way at 100 kph with an open pizza between the front seats. Not far down the road there's an explosion and a fire ball erupts. The choice is stomp on the brakes, let the open pizza meet is fate on the floor of the car, and check it out from a distance, or tap lightly on the brake and hope to stop in time before they all entering the fireball.

[EDIT]
Finally it looks like some of the states are doing something bit more drastic.
But ideally it should have been done a couple of weeks ago

The airline is China Air. The vehicle is an aeroplane, aircraft....or a plane. So the picture is of a China Air plane.

Sometimes petty point scoring just backfires eh?

Unfortunately, the reduction in NO2 over China was short lived and is now on the way back up as they to reduce the sanctions and ramp production back up.

Just heard through the grapevine, so take it for what it’s worth, that NSW is not only shutting down non essentials but also shutting down ALL schools.
Guess we’ll find out more tomorrow.

BTW BobL, the Govt web site lists 1098 as at 6am this morning. With 224 new cases since 6am yesterday, I guess we’ll hit the 1200 by tomorrow morning.

Have heard unsubstantiated rumors that Victoria will be shutting down all non-essential travel too, I guess that would include schools too. We will have to wait for the announcement too.

AFL suspended till May 31.
WA closing border to non-essential travel but with SA and NT doing it WA has little choice.
Rottnest Island to be looked at as a WA quarantine station for those unable to or not properly quaranteening.
The state premiers are meeting tonight to decided on schools, if no general shutdown the Vic will also shut schools on Tuesday.
I think they might try and coordinate a general nation wide shutdown.

Hardly Brett, come in spinner again. I was just testing if you would ignore me as you said you would in your private message after your childish behavior in the Katoomba thread. You may have me blocked and picked this up when Ian quoted me but you sure as hell aren't living up to your promise of ignoring me.
