I’ve known lots of Australians. They have it pretty much under control because they’re not a bunch of selfish dickheads. They’re always cool. They’re crass but when nut—crunching time comes they’re rock solid people. That’s the difference. They act like humans and not a bunch of stupid ass baboons.

Lol that's bull****. They literally state in the article that the main reason Australia only has 900 deaths is because they're a ****ing island and its easy to control who comes in and out.

China rolls out anal swab coronavirus test, saying it’s more accurate than throat met

I wonder will there be a mobile way testing in that case also.

If they tell you drop trou and bend over that’s what you’re gonna do.

Meanwhile in Africa:

Tanzania’s president says God has eliminated COVID-19 in his country. His own church now begs to differ.

From the local Catholic authority warning this week of a new wave of coronavirus infections, to government institutions now requiring staffers to take precautions, populist President John Magufuli is being openly questioned as the African continent fights a strong resurgence in cases and deaths.

“We are not an island,” the Catholic secretariat of the Tanzania Episcopal Conference said in a widely shared statement this week. It urged followers, which include the president, to pray but also to adopt measures long practiced in the rest of the world, including avoiding public gatherings and close personal contact. The church’s newspaper on Friday stressed in a large front-page headline: “There is corona.”

Tanzania has tried to be an island since April, when the East African country of 60 million people stopped updating its number of virus infections at 509 cases. Some health officials who questioned Magufuli’s stance that COVID-19 had been defeated were fired. The government promoted international tourism, eager to avoid the economic pain of neighbors who imposed lockdowns and curfews.

The president even praised Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi for not wearing a face mask during a visit this month, calling it another sign that Tanzania is free of the virus.

Remember when western countries laughed at Africa?

It’s really too bad we didn’t know that viruses mutate before we let this spread all over the world.

Not a good idea to visit China!

In the wake of the outbreak, in what might be called a belt-and-braces approach, Beijing authorities added an anal swab test to their armoury of Covid control measures.
