Corona virus, Port and the AFL. Part 2.

[PAFC66]

So will the Essendon and Melbourne game still actually go ahead?

It's been postponed.

 

[Lagooner]

Relax folks Dr Ralph has confirmed that he wasn’t highly contagious yesterday phew!

 

[finbarr]

Mmmmm...tell Sweden that

More than half of Sweden's covid-19 deaths have been in nursing homes, where lockdowns have been enforced.

 

[Grave Danger]

.

Essendon can play next two weeks without a defence. Who'll notice the difference?

I scoffed the other day when I saw a report that the teams' R2 reviews would still have to be done in small groups - not quite as silly as it sounds now, perhaps.

Lockdowns in nursing homes weren't enforced in nursing homes initially. Death rates were so high it forced the government to impose them.

Nursimg homes by their nature don't have much if any inward and outward movement of residents. So essentially they were already in a relative state of lockdown anyway. They were officially locked down because visitors were bringing the virus in. Once in, it spread inside that semi lockdown environment like wildfire.

The virus was also brought in by nurses, cleaners and people making deliveries. That's one area that's been tightened.

People come in and out though? Especially staff.

Hardly can enforce lockdowns on a facility only

Regardless., my point remains that the environment of confinement at a nursing home was a veritable Petri dish.

Which wouldn't of happened if the country locked down early instead of not at all.

And Sweden's initial error wasn't to lock down nursing homes hard enough at the start, which the government has admitted

 

[raptalia]

Sweden have not reported any Covid figures for the last two days. Either that or herd immunity is working and they have not had a positive test or a death for three days. I suspect some people in Sweden are that embarrassed by the figures they have decided not to give the rest of the world any more ammunition.

 

[finbarr]

Everyone focussing on Sweden. New York had a hard lockdown. How are they going?

The former.

Good now, comparatively speaking.

 

[PowerBaz]

There is no guarantee there be a silver bullet vaccine by next yr either.

New York is Sweden’s entire population crammed into a phone booth. Forget nursing homes apartment blocks are where the real pox party’s at.

Exactly.

 

[chickentendies]

Haha so NSW thinking of SEMI closing their borders with Victoria

Why wasn't this done earlier?

 

[LFC2010]

So McKenna has went to the Essendon club after showing irregularities in his test yesterday.

Must be suspended if the AFL are bloody consistent.

Essendon should forfeit their game tomorrow.

Watch the clubs take it seriously then.

i can see it now 2 week suspension (well he does have to quarantine anyway as he has corona and cant play)

 

[Leaveit2charlie]

A fair bit unknown about the effect of the virus.
He certainly wouldn't be training at all so 2 weeks off and then monitoring his recovery and hoping the virus just bounces off of him.
Or it lingers for 6 weeks.

Seriously? Only almost 2 months too late.
