The nation's chief medical officer, Professor Brendan Murphy, has told Australians there is no need for face masks despite being 'concerned' about the increase in the number of coronavirus cases in Japan and South Korea

tested positive for coronavirus on Saturday. The virus had killed more than 2450 people and infected nearly 78,000 by Sunday afternoon.

"It's still a long, long way away. Months away. Generally speaking, to get a vaccine from candidate to molecule test would be more than a year." Also on Sunday, the first group of Australians evacuated from China's Wuhan province to Darwin were released after two weeks in quarantine. The quarantine period ended at 5.30am on Sunday and evacuees have since been cleared to re-enter the general population.

Because the virus hasn't escaped into wilds of the Australia community doesn't make face masks ineffective is very strange logic. If they were ineffective why do medical staff wear them everyday in your local hospital.

If you got a Face mask then don’t you think the virus could enter thru your skin, ears, hands, feet, any other part of your body?

Where there is a Chinese, you will need a 😷

If face masks do not work I would rather hear about action that individuals should take to protect themselves so as to diminish getting the virus. It is the big elephant in the room & clearly nothing to see here will not work, now it seems that 14 days is insufficient incubation.

Business sector 'driving Australia's push towards net zero emissions' | Sky News AustraliaThe business sector, not politicians, are the ones driving the technological push towards renewables and lower carbon emissions, according to former NSW Premier Bob Carr.\n\nSome members of the Coalition have criticized Labor for setting a target of net-zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, with Nationals backencher Matt Canavan saying the policy will cost jobs in rural and regional Australia.\n\nNationals backbencher Matt Canavan said target by 2050 is “fantastical” and will be detrimental economically.\n\nHowever, Mr Carr told Sky News businesses, including the Business Council of Australia, AGL, BHP and Telstra, have endorsed a net zero 2050 emissions target.\n\nHe said businesses “are on track” to drastically reduce emissions by 2050 “due to the surge of investment in solar and wind”.\n\n That’s funny, government seems to look like they want the votes? Is that the message you’re putting out? Lets listen to Do Nothing Bob ffs And that should tell you something, when has the business sector ever had anything other than their bottom at heart.
