Queensland researchers are finding it difficult to enrol coronavirus patients in a COVID-19 treatment trial due to the low number of active cases in the state.

Scientists want to trial anti-malaria and anti-HIV drugs on coronavirus patients who are ill-enough for hospitalisation but not in need of intensive care.

Queensland has less than 300 active cases of the virus, with six new cases confirmed on Monday night. Health officials have confirmed a virus cluster in Cairns after an infected lab technician from Brisbane visited the city. Image: Getty

China should be 'contrite' over COVID-19 | Sky News AustraliaChina under Xi Jinping's leadership has become 'more arrogant, more aggressive and less respectful of the rest of the world', something it should address in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis, according to former foreign minister Alexander Downer.\n\nThe US government has accused Beijing of a lack of transparency over its early handling of the novel coronavirus COVID-19.\n\nAmerican intelligence has reportedly claimed China knew about the pathogen as early as October, but failed to warn the world, including the World Health Organisation (WHO), about how contagious the disease was until February.\n\nAcademic research by the University of Southampton has revealed up to 95 per cent of deaths would not have happened if China and WHO acted earlier.\n\nMr Downer told Sky News this pandemic has been 'very damaging' for China and he said it would be in its interest to 'roll back' that arrogance and allow a fully independent, world-wide investigation into the cause of COVID-19.\n\n'China should be contrite about COVID-19,' he said.\n\n'They should work with the international community, establish how this started.'\n\n\n\n\n\n\n AlexanderDowner If anyone doubts what the CCP have in mind with regards to the rest of humanity- look at how they subjugate brutalize and indoctrinate their own citizens. They are the Nazis of our time. 😕 AlexanderDowner A bit like how the US has been since WW2...which they only joined when they were attacked after watching the nazis rampage through Europe. AlexanderDowner I think AlexanderDowner should probably be keeping his head down atm. I'm guessing he might be in a bit of shit in the not distant future.

China rejects Australia's push for COVID-19 investigation | Sky News AustraliaChina has rejected Australia’s call for an independent investigation into the original source of the COVID-19 outbreak. \n\nForeign Minister Marise Payne on Sunday announced she would push for an investigation the genesis of the virus and Beijing’s handling of the initial outbreak. \n\nChinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang slapped down the proposal and accused Australia of “dancing to the tune” of the US.\n\n“Australian Foreign Minister Payne’s remarks are not based on facts. China is seriously concerned about and firmly opposed to this,” he said.\n\n“We hope that the Australian side can treat this issue in an objective, scientific and scrupulous manner.\n\n“We hope that Australia will do more things to deepen China-Australia relations, enhance mutual trust and help epidemic prevention and control in both countries, rather than dancing to the tune of a certain country to hype up the situation.” LIARS China as a dictator should be isolated. It's called the China virus.
