Sky News US correspondent Cameron Stewart says 'the only silver lining' coming out of the United States is New York Governor Cuomo's comments that there are 'hopes of a plateau in deaths' for the state.

Sky News US correspondent Cameron Stewart says "the only silver lining" coming out of the United States is New York Governor Cuomo's comments that there are "hopes of a plateau in deaths" for the state. "It's a very grim milestone today; 10,000 [deaths]. In fact, it's 10,500 already - that's how quickly things are going up. It's over 1000 people dying every day," Mr Stewart said.

"The spread of the virus in America has been very uneven - so in some states, there hasn't been much of a spread at all." "Donald Trump's view is 'don't close down those economies if you don't need to' and the health experts' view is 'shut them down because the virus will get there eventually'. So you have this tension between the economic imperative and the health imperative.

China 'needs to be held to account' for coronavirus | Sky News AustraliaChina may be guilty of something “like criminal negligence' for its handling of the coronavirus pandemic, according to Tasmanian Senator Eric Abetz.\n\nChina has been accused by some experts of delaying advising the World Health Organisation about the full extent of the threat coronavirus posed to the world in early 2020.\n\nThe Chinese communist government has also been criticised for not closing its contentious wet markets, despite vowing to do so after the 2003 SARS pandemic.\n\nMr Abetz told Sky News 'community sentiment' is very strong against China.\n\n'There needs to be an accounting because they literally have people's lives on their hands.'\n\n'They do need to be brought to account.'\n\nImage: AP funny mud pee! It is so pathetic of the world that the culprit China is now playing hero of helping to overcome a catastrophe it has self created. The Islamic Regime in Iran too is accomplice. The Chinese hegemony shall be stopped. IranRegimeChange is one important step forward. Ole Eric is stretching a long bow to liken the situation regards China to 'criminal negligence'. I do however note a strong possibility of 'criminal negligence' in regards to Oz Govts permitting Ruby Princess disembark passengers in Sydney in the manner that occurred. auspol

The Queen provides a 'refreshing take' on the coronavirus pandemic | Sky News AustraliaThe Queen has provided a 'refreshing contrast' to the usual coronavirus 'doom-mongering' perpetuated through the media and political classes says the editor of Spiked Online Brendan O’Neill. \n\nIn an historic address to the nation recorded inside Windsor Castle, the monarch said 'together we are tackling this disease and I want to reassure you that if we remain united and resolute, then we will overcome it.'\n\nThe Queen also drew on her experience of wartime spirit to call on the UK to 'remain united and resolute' to overcome the coronavirus crisis.\n\n'We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return: we will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again,' she said.\n\n'I found her message very moving actually,' Mr O'Neill told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. \n\n'I really liked it actually'. \n\n'What was really striking about it was that it was such a refreshing contrast to what we've been hearing from a lot of the media class and the political class'. \n\nHe said a real 'defeatist attitude and atmosphere' as permeated society which is having the effect of 'scaring a lot of people and spreading a lot of fear'. \n\nMr O'Neill also said the recent admission of hospital of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is 'pretty worrying ... (and) very serious'. \n\n\n\n I thought her speech was very appropriate and touching and for 93 doesn’t she look great?

Coronavirus testing expands across NSW as state's death toll hits 19Bondi Beach has opened a coronavirus drive-through clinic, with other areas saying they are ready to work with NSW Health. Laura_R_chung pallavisinghal_ There are almost no cases in NSW what the fuck is wrong with your tiny minds, the population of NSW is 8.6 million not a few thousand Laura_R_chung pallavisinghal_ The expansion of testing relies upon the general public informing a medical practitioner that they may have the possibility of being infected with the plague.

Coronavirus as it unfolded: Andrews flags late finish for year 12s to earn ATARsCruise ships, schools and churches may be contributing to the spread of COVID-19 due to inadequate cleaning, infection researchers have warned. Live updates: coronavirusaus Florida Man diagnosed with CoronavirusPandemic said hydroxycholorquine... Especially since school cleaning taken over by huge companies and not done by cleaners based at the school. Such a huge difference in the cleanliness of schools since the forced change. May, may, may just puss these researchers off the guess. Cruise ships - yes- we know that we have the evidence. Why does the media constantly find peripheral experts that ‘may’ have found a cure, found the cause, found anything. Report the facts only.
