Australians have clearly had enough.
Shoppers confront this pair in Big W after they were seen lining up multiple times at the checkout with baby formula tins.
Big W staff step in, confiscates the tins and kicks them out of the store.

Just saw online some bulk buying of baby formula in Australia which leads to them being thrown out of the store when customers kick off about it. Strange that this stockpiling is allowed to happen.
But also seems to be a pattern of Chinese bulk buying a lot of formula:

Johnson will continue his recovery at Chequers, the prime minister’s country residence in Buckinghamshire, Downing Street says.
“On the advice of his medical team, the PM will not be immediately returning to work,” a spokesman said.
The spokesman said Johnson wished to thank the staff at St Thomas’ Hospital for the “brilliant care he has received”, adding that his thoughts were with others affected by Covid-19.

Gilead Announces Successful Trial for Its Coronavirus Drug
www.thestreet.com...
The majority of patients with severe coronavirus symptoms using Gilead's remdesivir showed "clinical improvement" in a compassionate use trial the company said.
This is a real scientific clinical trial not anecdotal word of mouth testimony.
Biotechnology titan Gilead Sciences (GILD) - Get Report Friday announced a successful trial of its antiviral drug to treat the coronavirus -- remdesivir
The results came from a cohort analysis of 53 hospitalized patients suffering severe coronavirus symptoms who were treated with remdesivir on an individual compassionate use basis. The drug hasn’t been approved for general use by the Food and Drug Administration.
“The majority of patients in this international cohort demonstrated clinical improvement and no new safety signals were identified with remdesivir treatment,” Gilead said in a statement.

If covid-19 worked like other corona viruses, in the respect the quote below states, there wouldn't be much reason for concern about re-infection of recently infected patients who tested negative:

“There are too many rapid mutations to neatly trace a Covid-19 family tree. We used a mathematical network algorithm to visualise all the plausible trees simultaneously,” said Peter Forster, a geneticist at University of Cambridge and lead author of the study."
Deadly coronavirus comes in three variants, researchers find
Types A, B and C are all derived from the pathogen first found in bats but have evolved in different ways, according to a report by British and German geneticists
Findings show the virus has become well adapted to human transmission and mutates as it spreads, Chinese epidemiologist says
Geneticists from Britain and Germany have mapped the evolutionary path of the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 and determined there are currently three versions of it spreading around the world.
Type A was also found in Americans who had lived in Wuhan, and in other patients diagnosed in the United States and Australia.
The most common variant found in Wuhan was type B, the study said, though this appeared not to have travelled much beyond East Asia before mutating, which the researchers said was probably due to some form of resistance to it outside that region.
Finally, type C was the variant found most often in Europe based on cases in France, Italy, Sweden and England. It had not been detected in any patients in mainland China, though had been found in samples from Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea, the study said.

Over the course of many years, scientists have proven that immunity via vaccination is key to longevity. Just ask polio, or smallpox...they will let us know whats up.
Shanghai’s Municipal Health Commission said 51 of 52 imported cases on Saturday were of Chinese nationals who were diagnosed to have Covid-19 after they landed in the city. The travelers accounted for more than half of 97 imported infections China disclosed on Sunday morning. No other information was provided about the flight. Ninety-two people linked to the Russian flight have been tracked and quarantined, Shanghai authorities said. It’s not clear why the Chinese nationals were in Russia.
Inside Tijuana emergency rooms and hospitals, defeated health care professionals are working double and triple shifts, without the equipment they need, as their colleagues fall sick, one after another. Patients are being treated in receiving areas and lobbies while doctors and nurses say they lack the staffing, ventilators and testing to properly care for them. At least 14 health care professionals have tested positive for COVID-19 and two are in intensive care across the state, Baja California officials confirmed Thursday. “Leaving the hospital today, I felt like I was leaving a war zone,” said one local doctor, who said she could not be identified because she was not authorized to speak with the media about the situation.
