A healthcare union, Pittsburgh businessman and several hospitals and government agencies were all caught up in the elaborate fraud.

An Australian is being investigated by the FBI over a massive stockpile of 39 million safety masks that has reportedly been unveiled as an elaborate scam.

The union, known as SEIU, and the Pittsburgh businessman are not under investigation and both appear to be among a string of middlemen who were fooled, Brady said.The promise of 39 million masks was first made public March 26, when the union announced it had found the stockpile after 48 hours of frantic phone calls pursuing leads on potential suppliers. The announcement by the union was widely covered by major media outlets and listed several hospital systems and government agencies as buyers.

At one point, the Australian broker told the middleman in Pittsburgh that 2 million masks were located in a warehouse in Georgia and that the product had been inspected by a particular certification company.No money was exchanged in the attempts to finalise a deal, according to Brady.

WHO says looking into reports of some coronavirus patients testing positive againThe World Health Organization says it is investigating reports that coronavirus-infected patients have tested positive again after being cleared of the virus. Why is WHO so behind? China has many cases of testing positive after recovery months ago. Some research there suggest those who became positive again can be infections but the viral load is less contagious than first time sufferers. Isn’t it more important to know if people can become UNWELL again after recovery? And secondly if they are contagious? A positive test could mean anything. leftboomer Good luck developing a vaccine then. Hydroxychloroquine and zinc supplement baby...

Australia's coronavirus safety net must be tight to go the distanceAnalysis: Just as every Australian is responsible for containing the spread of the virus, every Australian employer, and institution, has a role to play in maintaining the safety net Is that the same 'every Australian' that's eligible for JobSeeker or JobHunter? In other words, temporary visa holders needn't bother? Universities once did not run on a business model. They were in the real 'business' of educating. So: Jordan Baker and Lisa Visentin. Best you lose the term “dobbed” from your vocab! If you must use Aussie slang then “goodonyer” would be more appropriate in your report! 21st century & new Aussies would not even know what “dobbed means! Relevant once. It isn’t now! Lose it.

To mask, or not: A movement is brewing but will Australia follow?Official health advice remains to only wear a mask if you are ill. But the reality is many people are seeking protection, while others view them as a form of self-expression. The official health advice from the WHO is garbage and anyone with half a brain knows it. The WHO wants the virus to spread. Just wear the damn masks for God's sake. Mask
