Dear Comrade ,

Thank you for your Epistle . Cut and Paste really is fun , isn't it , especially when it is from the NYT ? Next will be The Guardian , I suppose ?

To respond , here is another C & P .

"Let's say you are the PM. It's your call, what do you do to protect Australians?"

If I were PM , I would listen to medical experts , not an C & P practitioner online somewhere .

Simples ?

Here is evidence this pandemic is spreading much faster than any news anyone has been told, via aerosol transmission. If so, infection rates are likely to be much worse than we are being told!

Workers paradise.

I suppose holding all those contradictions would have an effect on the mind.

Dear Aspely,

Well shame on me for expecting anything but a toady for Trump response.

The main reason I did a cut an paste, my little hive mind friend, was that it was a subscription article.

The New York Times is a respected paper. You could have retorted with a source of your own but that would seem to beyond your obviously limited capacity.

So anyway, the Chief medical officer in WA has recommended banning school excursion to the USA and Canada effective yesterday. Here's another little cut and paste to assist your comprehension, even though this is freely available.

Quote;

West Australian students and staff will have to cancel any school-planned trips to Canada and the United States after Education Minister Sue Ellery extended the travel ban due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The announcement came on Monday as the state recorded its sixth case of the potentially deadly disease and less than a week after the minister banned overseas school excursions to “all countries except the USA, New Zealand and Canada”.
Ms Ellery said the decision to extend the ban to include the additional countries was made from the advice of chief health officer Andrew Robertson.

Yet the federal government hasn't raised the risk level for the USA. Why do you think that is?

End quote.

*...Let's say you are the PM. It's your call, what do you do to protect Australians?...*

Q. Which Australians?

A. Not the poor on welfare. Short answer.

Let's consider Armchair Critics conspiratorial theories, which postulate the virus is spread by the US, as an opening round in a biological war against China and Iran.
And consider that within three weeks, the Israelis will offer a vaccine for its control.

Conditions are ripe for the controlled spread of the virus in our own countries of the West, with a design of reducing numbers dependent on welfare from taxpayers, and offering a huge windfall for Western Governments bogged down with welfare budgets which are a huge and growing proportion of it.

Dear dyslexic Comrade ,

The New York Times is a What ? You lost me there .The Illawarra Mercury and even the Northern Territory News would be held in higher regard.
You haven't quoted The Guardian yet .. but close an ex Fairfax , now NINE source WAtoday. as in this release from the Western Australia Soviet .

"West Australian students and staff will have to cancel any school-planned trips to Canada and the United States after Education Minister Sue Ellery extended the travel ban due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The announcement came on Monday as the state recorded its sixth case of the potentially deadly disease and less than a week after the minister banned overseas school excursions to “all countries except the USA, New Zealand and Canada”. "

So, every country on EARTH appears to be on the list , bar , New Zealand and Canada .

How exactly does adding the USA to a list covering 99% of all countries justify your strange statement .. "" The last three cases in Victoria all came from the US. It may well end up being the world's primary 'infector' if they don't shape up.' is weird , extreme and downright silly.”

Also , I assume by your non-rebutal that you agree with me as to where the PM should be getting his medical advise ?
