My philosophical moment of the day.
Mother Earth is a tough place to live. There are a gazillion different life forms wanting to be in control. Man thinks he's on top. Not even close. Gotta get in the top ten first.
So, our road to success is defensive. Vaccines, masks, no contact, wash your hands, etc., etc.
Defensive never wins a War. Never.
Our flu virus almost always comes from China. Why is that?
Maybe because the concentration of human population makes it the ideal target for any life form trying to climb to the top?

I have a much simpler philosophy. The planet is capable of supporting a finite amount of life; sickness, disease, starvation and natural disasters are all ways which it limits how much it has to support. Everytime that we solve a problem or cure a disease, another pops up to accomplish the same thing. This planet will be around long after we're dead and gone.

So you don't believe man is the supreme life form on this planet?
This is the wrong forum for that discussion.

We have stopped people coming in from China, they are being taken to Christmas Island for two weeks of quarantine before being allowed in, I have heard that surgical masks do nothing to stop the spread of the virus.
