[Call Me Cake]

Bill gates to come over the top and provide natural justice to Essendon via 5G

 

[Underarm]

Which rule did he break precisely?

Not asking for an exemption to visit an open house?

Wow these are getting tenuous now. Give up mate

 

[dogs105]

1 positive, 1 irregular and 6 negatives by my reckoning

The irregular is now a confirmed positive also according to news.com.au

when is wada gona appeal

Not asking for an exemption to visit an open house?

The rule is a grey area which can cause confusion, as it mentions open inspections as being allowed if the person is looking to purchase a home - but in Conor's case that would make no sense as he isn't planning to stay here and must have somewhere to live. It's a farce.

Also, there are no actual open inspections now anyway, all of them require registrations and they are limited to appointments where the person limit is observed with everyone being required to use sanitiser beforehand (as well as common touch areas being sprayed and wiped before and after).

I have been to one where each person had their temp checked at the door. You have more of a chance to catch it in a Coles aisle.

No surprises the AFL bending over backwards again for their favourite team.
The best option would have been for Essendon to forfeit the games against Melbourne, Carlton and Collingwood and continue the season.
This will come back to bite the AFL because they never make the tough decisions, season will be over when half the Carlton list get the virus.

Idiot.

We are absolutely going to tear your mob apart come this weekend. Get your jagular vein ready.

Could be 2 false positives. Or a false negative. Easy enough to just not happen to grab any virus in the swab. Or the relevant bits just aren't amplified by PCR (by chance). A lot of statistics and probability involved in determining truth with genomics.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Just an FYI I’m accepting apologies on behalf of Essendon.

feel free to PM me if you don’t have the balls to post here.

 

[Toump Ass]

WHAT?

No he didn't. There is no law against looking for a place to live if you're from overseas (duh) and he is allowed to visit family.

Since when is anyone you shared a house with considered "family"?

Well they looked after him for a long time

He’s had about 8 tests in 4-5 weeks and one has been positive and another a “low grade irregularity”, whatever tf that means. He’s had no symptoms at any point and nobody he’s come into contact with, incl two people he lives with, have tested positive.

I’m no doctor but it would appear to point to a testing ****up and he never had it.

 

[Arctic fox]

What does this mean? What if he gets another test in 2 days and positive again

He wins a box of steak knives.But wait.....there's more......

 

[Toump Ass]

"looked after him"

He was rookied at 18, he was an adult.

You can call anyone you live with that cares for your wellbeing as family. If we take your thought process as fact then foster care wouldn't be a thing and everyone who has ever been adopted or married to someone has never had a family or an extended family.

 

[Andronicus]

I consider my first few housemates to be family.

'Irregularity' test now confirmed as positive. 2 positives then a negative. Interesting what the next one is, and interesting information about a virus of which little is known.

Bullshit.

Adults can have families

Relevance?

Plenty of people consider their mates family.
