Coronavirus is now hitting populations in Europe and the Middle East. It appears a pandemic is inevitable, experts say, and we all need to start preparing.

WHO's director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, sayslikely to change if the number of cases keeps growing in Europe, the Middle East and east Asia.

"Every part of the health system is now working on its plan so that we're ready if things develop further in the future," he said at a press conference with the Prime Minister today."The question will evolve over the next few days to see whether the transmission in those countries can be contained or it's sustained.

some people are so insensitive. people are actually dying from this virus, while y'all are making racist jokes, tik toks and sometimes even physical abuse. it disgusts me. grow up. its 2020.

Keep far away from Chinese, especially those claim their love to China

Influenza killed between 99000 and 200000 people in 2019 worldwide. Corona virus is nothing in comparison to this.

Don't trust your government. They are all compromised. Make a plan as to what you will need to self quarantine for 6 months off grid minimum. Take whistleblower reports more seriously then MSM. If it really goes sour convert cash into gold, cash will be worthless.

Lost 6k today on my super balance!

We used to fight tuberculosis with sunlight and fresh air but since we have turned the sun into enemy number one our inmune system has become deficient and ability to produce vitamin D diminished . Encourage everybody to go outside ,suck as much sunlight as possible and get air

Governed by a bunch of fools, nowhere else would this happen.

One thing is guaranteed. It doesn’t matter if you rich or poor. It can get you eventually even if you hide behind big wall, because no matter what, experts don’t know how it’s spread.

Prep.

Better fund the ABC on condition they don't have any politicians on.

don't fly just now.

Run.

Hand gel & close the borders until it’s safe.

Panic, panic will solve it 😳

richardaedy Wash your hands properly

Maybe we should seriously consider closing the borders for 2-3 weeks?

Look on the bright side ABC. Coronavirus is inclusive, has diversity & is gender neutral. Ticks all the boxes.

Get a grip and sense of perspective & refer back to pandemic of 2009 - swine flu. Did the msm whip up panic then? NO. Did the world survive & contain that pandemic? YES. Time for msm to be responsible and maintain proportionality & ethics required to report this disease outbreak.

This will suit you, ABC. Massive alarmism is your forte.

Imagine an outbreak mixed with a natural disaster.

Close the borders. Don't care if some people get offended. My family's health is more important.

They are manipulating us to make vaccines compulsory !

How about not let Chinese students come back for studies. How they think this is a good idea is beyond me. All for money and no hurt feelings. We are the only country letting this happen, we are tiny as, watch how quickly it spreads

Death en masse is coming again as after first foreign contact with foreign white British citizens with foreign diseases, from measles to STDs!

Rake up whatever cash your got........and have a big big Saturday is what I would do.

Australian Government has kowtowed to China by not shutting Australian ports tight. The Government (both Federal and State) have favoured the dollar over the safety of its citizens.

First thing to do, check if my health insurance covers me for pandemic related issues.

richardaedy Nothing other than wash hands with soap and water as always.... It's not ebola for god's sake.

Why not try a close-off policy like Qing Dynasty? It will not take long that you will lose your superiority.

Start building quarantine buildings so every visitor can stay there for a few weeks before entering the country. All paid for by the people who are quarantined. 😂

Avoid Chinese

We should let 100,000 Chinese students back into the country. That will make us safe.

Nice piece of fear mongering there ABC 😉

Eat the rich.

I’m not sure what to do, but it is fucking with my superannuation.
