Coronavirus update: Latest news on COVID-19 after Australia activates emergency plan – ABC News
https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2020-02-28/coronavirus-updates-live/12009652?pfmredir=sm
In Japan, a woman who had the virus and recovered tested positive for a second time — and second positive tests have also been reported in China.
… just because you’ve had the disease once, that doesn’t make you immune from getting it again.
Experts have a few explanations for this:
- The discharged patients might not have built up enough antibodies to develop immunity to SARS-CoV-2, and are being infected again.
- The virus could be “biphasic” — which means it lies dormant before creating new symptoms
- Some cases of “reinfection” could be attributed to testing discrepancies
Song Tie, from a local disease control centre in China’s Guangdong province, said as many as 14 per cent of discharged patients in the province had tested positive again.
But he said none of those patients appeared to have infected anyone else.
Adam Kamradt-Scott, a specialist in infectious diseases at the University of Sydney, said the second infection was usually less severe
How Australia defied global health authority on coronavirus | The Wentworth Report

Why were the Australians ahead of the world? For a very simple reason. They don’t trust the WHO. The information from multiple international sources is that the WHO is under intense pressure from the Chinese government, and succumbing to it.
The Australian Commonwealth Chief Medical Officer, Brendan Murphy, told the NSC that it was medically inexplicable that the WHO hadn’t already declared a global pandemic.
Oregon’s first coronavirus case emerges, involves employee at elementary school | WTTV CBS4Indy
The Lake Oswego School District sent a robocall to parents saying that Forest Hills Elementary will be closed until Wednesday so it can be deep-cleaned by maintenance workers.
Health authorities planned to spend the weekend scrambling to find everyone the unidentified person, who has been hospitalized, had been in contact with.
Hours before the case emerged, the state ramped up efforts to combat an outbreak amid potential challenges, including closing schools, businesses and events, and sustained shortages of medical supplies.

During The 70’s, The CIA Created A “Robot Dragonfly Spy” – Nwo Report
https://nworeport.me/2020/02/28/during-the-70s-the-cia-created-a-robot-dragonfly-spy/
thanks to a Freedom of Information Act request, it’s known that they created a robot dragonfly to spy on us.
Newly-released CIA documents show how the espionage agency developed a robot dragonfly spy. The tiny aerial surveillance device – known as the “insectothopter” – was built in the 1970s according to the CIA Museum, where it has been displayed for 16 years. But blueprints for the robotic insect were released this week by the U.S. spy agency to the website The Black Vault. Those blueprints reveal the finely honed microengineering behind the little spy machine.
