Individual, there was an expert on epidemics from the New England Institute of Medicine, which is a world famous medical research
organisation, on Sky News a few days ago said that their trials of that drug was successful. Even I have heard of them and their well known medical journal. http://tinyurl.com/y2yhq2am That is the point I was making, when you get a world famous institute saying it was successful who do you believe ?

Indiv, no idea, someone said aborigines in the NT could be more
susceptible if it got loose in the NT, but no reason why. Posted by Bazz, Thursday, 6 August 2020 9:19:04 PM

We've failed our elderly, as happened in Sweden. Without turning this into a crusade for better general aged-care there should have been expenditure on tightening key portals for viral tranfer, a 'moat' as it were. We owed them that.
Apart from procedures and limitations already in place at entry points, one of these factors could be to pay for quarantining staff for periods before they go into live-in situations in homes. With the right conditions there would have been sufficient takers for such arrangements, and still can be.
