Current ICU tally is 84 nationwide. Well within limits and at the current rate easily tolerated by the health system.

I haven't had to resort to any new hobbies yet, still working 5 days (mainly from home) but will get a bit bored eventually. lucky can still go for a run or walk so frees the mind a bit for me (also getting fitter which ive been aiming for)
Id definitely miss footy if i still played it (haven't played for 4 years now) and id miss AFL if i was 20 yrs old but even before all of this id try and watch the Carlton game and maybe bits of pieces of one or two other games. Its not the great love it was back when i was a teenager.

You have no idea about me or what you are taking about.
The production cycle can not pivot to suddenly provide all this 'waste' food to stores and supermarkets supply chains are designed for convenience not for everyone to stock up.
Anyway besides all this even in the worst countries China where they physically locked people in their houses and italy where everyone is dropping like flies you can still go to the supermarket.
There is no need for everyone to buy months worth of food as you are suggesting.

I miss footy like nothing before but sometimes it is nice in a way to step back and appreciate the small things in life.
Interestingly , nearly half the Victorian cases have recovered. If NSW is tracking similarly, it means recoveries are keeping up with new infections, and our hospitals should not overload, though i'm sure the severe cases also have longer recovery.

Are you suggesting the virus is planning on striking back?

Unless you want Italy, no it's not.

There's no vaccine and no drugs even available yet (approx June to July for the drugs). Lets wait till then, then slowly dial back restrictions.

you're *in kidding aren't you?
maybe if you're a 40-year member of the Geelong cheer squad but * me.
actual mental health – ya know, proper depression and bipolar and personality disorders – are not so flimsy they're triggered by the footy not being on. people went through wars, great depressions, harsher worldwide flus and did it in squalid conditions in the freezing cold with rationed food and no entertainment.

Brother in law is a sparky and his mob are apparently helping to convert jeffs shed to a makeshift hospital.
They are still preparing for the worst.

We haven’t hit peak yet. The restrictions will remain in place for 6 months IMO
Got any buys Frumpy?

Will be interesting to see where we go from here.
Wage subsidies are in place for 6 months but its still best to get things moving as soon as possible without endangering the country.
Do we keep the current lockdown measures in place for another 3 months or slowly ease up restrictions each fortnight and test the waters before re-evaluating.
The key is to monitor ICU as well as overall testing numbers. So long as we keep the ICU being overwhelmed we wont see catastrophic numbers.
Best case scenario is that effective treatments become scientifically accepted that keep ICU numbers down and reduce the severity so that within 3-6 months we can ease up most of the restrictions
International borders shouldnt be opened until a vaccine is basically universally available but we can get the Australian economy going again just by having effective treatments in the meantime
