Not doubting all that but why do we care about the numbers who have had it. If 3k have recovered then we don’t care about them. We do care about 3k that have it though.

Good points.

We should probably concentrate on the 80% who get it midly and 6000 infected out of 24 million, and the recovered.

Couldn’t disagree more. This is a once in a lifetime event. Has nothing to do with big or little clubs or anyone killing off anyone. You do love a big event though

Have to agree, this problem is one out of the box.
What should be noticed is that Gold Coast and GWS have no debt at all because they are completely funded by the AFL. There are a lot of clubs that have significant debt and will now have to cope the extra pressure of increased debt.

After reading the books Stasiland by Anna Funder and Wild Swans by Jung Chang I have come to the opinion that anything that comes from a communist government cannot be trusted, anything!
The leadership is only concerned with hanging onto power at whatever cost and the further down the political ladder you go, the worse people behave.

Stasiland, now that is one eye opening book.

Have a read of Wild Swans by Jung Chang. Three generations of a Chinese family covering most of the 20th Century China from Imperial China to the Japanese Occupation, the Civil War, Revolution and post Mao era. If you are wondering about where China is heading, then this will scare the pants off you.

With this year being a write off it's a 1 year ban really.

Should have waited till next year than it will only be 3 months.

"From 2021, revised WADA rules will mean a positive test for cocaine on match day results in a three-month ban, rather than this current two-year standard."

Read Stasiland a few years ago. Quite a book.

New Zealand has recorded 1 death from coronavirus. Here's how they did it

New Zealand has managed to do something that many countries wish they could achieve: for four straight days, it has reported a decline in new coronavirus cases.

They have about the same cases as us percentage wise. Just have different death rates but that’s more luck than good management. Well apart from that boat debacle for us. Both countries doing well but New Zealand do have to make a decision on full lockdown any day now. We aren’t quite in full lockdown.

There seems to be some talk about the virus starting in Wuhan in November and that China knew an out of control epidemic was occurring. US spy networks picked up the information and informed the Pentagon and Whitehouse but information wasn't acted upon.

So how far has the thing spread before China did something? It's complete bullshit that our first case was in late January.

It’s also no needed and will just make people angry and will result in more breaking the law. If anything they could slightly relax. Have some sport in a closed environment. Surely that will help some people’s mental health which based on deaths so far will be afar bigger issue than cv

Easter will help.
The number of people going to their vacation home will be tiny compared to the number of people from businesses that are still going, but will shut down for the week.
 
Has anyone mentioned Kim Duthie having advanced cervical cancer?? I know she’s not popular around here but very sad if true.
