Australia and the Corona virus.
Welcome
to our article,
Dear
readers, if you are reading this blog now, for it to make sense you need to think that this is a diary that I have been writing, so you should imagine how things were at the time that I have written this article. Anyhow, today the entire world is facing this health problem that can even
kill you, we hope that this Corona-virus disease will not touch us, and if we
happen to catch it, we hope to survive. I hope that I will not catch it,
because I am an old man now and old men are those that die most. Anyhow, I hope
to survive and one day tell you the story of my survival. So, I have decided to
write this article and write those things that seem important; it will be like
a diary that will help me remember those things that are happening now.
Anyhow,
let me see how I can start my story.
Today
is the 26th day of March 2020, and in Australia there are 2728
people that are Corona-virus positive, there are 11 deaths and 118 recovered.
The number of the Corona-virus positive seem to grow quickly, so, I am worried.
In China were the virus started has 80,000 people with corona-virus, and more
than 3000 people have died. To control the spread they have had this lock-down,
and people had to stay inside their houses for a few months, this has reduced
the number of the infected to a minimum, but still they are worried that the
disease can come back.
Many
other countries have been infected, so, they have followed their example and
locked the inhabitant down, but this virus seems very virile and their infected
people continue to increase, today the 27 of March 2020 Italy positive sick is
surpassing China, but Italy has 8000 deaths, that is at least twice as many
deaths, everybody is worried, as there is no end in sight.
In
Australia the government is doing what they can to control this virus, that
seems an enemy that we cannot see, but it can kill you. They have banned many
activities and told people to stay inside. Many businesses where people can
come in close contact have been ordered to close, because people can catch the
corona-virus disease.
Here
in Australia, the federal government and the state governments do their best,
and Scott Morrison the prime minister pops up on TV every now and then, telling
us what is being done and what wants us to do to control the spread of this
virus. It is near impossible to live a normal life. Everybody is worried and a
bit scared and nobody knows how this is going to end. I believe that in
Australia, like China and Italy, the entire country or part of it, will be in
lock-down soon and nobody can go around, except for those that must do urgent
things for survival.
-----------------------------------
How some people see this situation.
Because
of the chaos that this epidemic brings with it, people tend to understand what
is being said in strange ways, this can bring even more chaos and needs to be
sorted out. They go shopping and they buy a lot more than what they need
presently, so that they can keep at home for the future; strange as it may seem,
the most item that they want is toilet paper, so, they empty the shop shelves
of toilet paper, they also want many other items, so, they fill their trolleys
with whatever they think they might need in the future; this is one of the main
strange things that this corona-virus epidemic has brought.
I
believe that people are worried and scared, so, they become selfish, they don’t
see that if they empty the shelves of toilet paper, because they think that by
being clean they can avoid this virus, they don’t see that the fellow next
door, can catch the virus because he has no toilet paper, then the virus will
jump the fence and catches up with them too; so, they will become infected too.
Anyhow this is one of the strange things that people do, but there are many
more.
Another
thing that I have noted and is worth mentioning is what is happening to one of
my family members that rents a house, and lives on a small budget. Anyhow, what
I am going to say next, is more to do with what people think and do, is
situations like this, than the corona-virus. So, while some of us feel sorry and
pray for the sick and the dead and their families, some others want to use the
corona-virus to their advantage, and they don’t care about the others. So, I am
going to tell you what people do.
------------------------------------
What people think and do.
Anyhow,
these tenants, because of the corona-virus lock-down, they have lost their job,
so, they don’t want to pay the rent, or at most pay only half the agreed rent.
I don’t understand from where they have picked up this idea, but this is what
they want to do. They think that the owners can afford to lose their rent
payments, but they cannot. My views on this is that the federal government is
giving them enough money to eat and to pay the rent, so they must pay.
This
idea of not paying the rent, may have come from some obscure politician that is
telling the people that. But the reality is that it cannot be done, because the
entire economy will suffer and may even collapse. I am going to talk about this
in more details in another article, because now I want to show you what Scott
Morrison is giving the people that have lost their jobs.
This
example has been taken from the internet, and I quote:
Craig lost his job. He has no other
work so made his intent to claim via MyGov. He's not eligible for other
welfare.
The Government
processed his claim on April 13. His first three payments are (figures are
approximate):
April 13: $1,610 made up of:
·
Jobseeker Payment and Energy Supplement (covering 21 days backdated to
March 23) — $860
·
Stimulus payment — $750
April 27: $575 made up of:
·
Jobseeker Payment and Energy Supplement — $575
May 11, then every two
weeks: $1,125 made up of:
·
Jobseeker Payment and Energy Supplement — $575
·
Coronavirus Supplement — $550
End
of quote.
Here
I want to point out that they will receive enough money to put food on their
table and pay the rent easily. Meanwhile some of the landlord that live on the
earnings of their rental properties, will not be able to pay for their food, if
they don’t receive their rent payments.
Anyhow,
I am sorry that I have taken you to read this rental problem, when I believe
our thoughts should be with the corona-virus victims, especially about the
European countries, like Italy and Spain that have so many deaths, as you can
see, from this corona-virus progress list. Australia is still doing well
compared to them, so, may God help Australia to keep the number of deaths to a
minimum. I am saying to a minimum, because it is impossible to think any other
way.
------------------------------
The corona-virus progresses.
Anyhow,
I want to apologies, because we have gone out of our ways and talked about the
way people behave, instead of the corona-virus disease.
Anyhow,
now let us write a list how the corona-virus progresses in the world, and if we
somehow can stop it spreading
Today
the 29 of March 2020
China
over 81,500 infected, over 3,300 deaths (the country it originated)
USA
over 123,000 infected, over 2,700 deaths
Italy
over 92,000 infected, over 10,900 deaths
Spain
over 73,000 infected, over 6,800 deaths
Australia
over 3,900 infected, 15 deaths so far (the country I am writing it from)
We
will come back in a few days to see what has changed.
Anyhow,
here China seems to have regained some control, but the others have not.
Anyhow,
in a few days, we will write hereunder another list to compare what is
happening. We hope to have better news then.
Now
because of the corona-virus necessary shutdown, people cannot work, and the
Australian economy will suffer; this can create a chain reaction that needs to
be talked about. So, we are going to write another article, where we talk about
the Australian economy and rentals, since rentals are going to be affected.
----------------------------------------
Let us update the corona-virus progress.
Today
is the 26 of April 2020, so, it is after one month since we started this
article the first time. Now let us write a short list to see how many more
people are sick or have died.
CONFIRMED DEATHS RECOVERED
United
States -----------924,520---------52,296----------100,795
Spain---------------------219,764---------22,524------------92,355
Italy----------------------192,994---------25,969------------60,498
Germany---------------154,999-----------5,760------------99,928
United
Kingdom------143,464---------19,506------------1,918
France------------------122,577---------22,245------------43,493
Turkey-----------------104,912-----------2,600-------------21,737
China
(mainland)---88,423------------4,632-------------81,785.
What
I can say about this updated list is that today, the United States of America
is the country with the most confirmed sick, and the most deaths. Italy is the
worst off with about 26 thousand deaths, if we consider that Italy is around 60
million people only. Other things to note are: Germany is doing well it has
155,000 confirmed positive, but only 5,760 deaths; the United Kingdom number of
recovered is very low, so, we may have to ask, are they not recovering or they
are not counting them? The last one I am noting is that China is the country it
originated, but China today has a lot of recovered and only 4,632 deaths.
So,
I wonder why, and what could be the reason?
Maybe one day will know? To see more click on this link, Australia and the Coronavirus.
This is all for today, see you next time with our article, Australia economy and rentals.
