Reminds me of that old Judge Rutherford book: “Watchtower hears a WHO!”
Or was that Dr Seuss?

The common cold that we often catch, and which you get your flu shots for, or should (it's free in Victoria, Australia for persons of your vintage and taste), are two types of coronavirus: human coronavirus 229E and human coronavirus OC43.
FUN FACT: According to the Watch Tower Society the origins of both were created by Jehovah and carried on Noah's ark, along with sexually transmitted diseases, rabies, ebola, measles, typhoid, cholera, malaria, smallpox, and so on. Individually and collectively they can all be referred to as coming from the jehovavirus family.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

Jehovah’s Witnesses and Watchtower Australia have commissioned a secret legal report critical of the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Child Sexual Abuse
On 14 November 2018, Australian-based barristers David Bennett AC, QC and James Gibson presented to Watchtower Australia and the Jehovah’s Witnesses organisation their commissioned review and opinion on the findings and recommendations of the Royal Commission into the Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse as it related to Jehovah’s Witnesses.
The review entitled “Review of the Commission’s Investigation into Jehovah’s Witnesses and its ensuing reports” was divided into four Parts, as follows:
Part One considered the history and powers of royal commissions in general.
Part Two considered particular aspects of the Child Abuse Royal Commission relevant to Jehovah’s Witnesses, including the Commission’s Terms of Reference.
Part Three considered the Commission’s findings and recommendations regarding Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the basis of such findings and recommendations.
Part Four considered the responses, as at 14 November 2018, of the Commonwealth and State Governments to the Final Report of the Child Abuse Royal Commission.
Following receipt of the commissioned review and opinion, Watchtower Australia requested from Bennett QC and Gibson that they prepare an Executive Summary of their review, with a focus on “the Commission’s findings and recommendations regarding Jehovah’s Witnesses and the basis of such findings and recommendations”.
On 11 February 2019 Bennett QC and Gibson presented to Watchtower Australia and the Jehovah’s Witnesses organisation their signed eight-page executive summary: “Jehovah’s Witnesses in Australia and The Final Report of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse”.
Extracts from the executive summary written by David Bennett AC, QC and James Gibson:
“The Commission’s dissection of the religious beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses … failed to discriminate between religious beliefs (and the obligations imposed by such beliefs) and the requirements of secular law”
“The Commission’s criticism of Jehovah’s Witnesses Bible-based religious beliefs and practices was misplaced”
“[W]e consider a large part of the Commission’s investigation into and evidence led about Jehovah’s Witnesses, which related to child sexual abuse within families of members of Jehovah’s Witnesses, was outside the Commission’s Terms”
“[A] more balanced and fair approach should have been adopted by the Commission”
“[T]he Commission considered that it had carte blanche to inquire into allegations of child sexual abuse [within Jehovah’s Witnesses]”
“[I]t is questionable whether proper regard was had by the Commission when coming to its findings on its analysis of the data, to Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Submissions regarding the case files”
“There was an inherent unfairness in the Commission’s investigation of Jehovah’s Witnesses”
